SDCC 2022 news: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania gets MODOK and Bill Murray

After years of delays and rescheduling, Marvel’s Phase Four is back on track — though it will end with 2022’s Wakanda for Ever: Black Panther. Marvel has announced at San Diego Comic-Con that some MCU films will move to Phase Five. Quantumania: Ant-Man and The Wasp

Though Marvel Didn’t drop a trailer to the wider public at its SDCC panel, they didShown was a trailer which teased more details about the film. Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Hope van Dyne, Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne will team up again in the third installment of Peyton Reed’s series. When Quantumania picks up, Scott Lang is coasting on saving the universe and plans to write a book (“Look Out for the Little Guy!” reads the cover).

A leak earlier this month suggested that Ant-Family would be facing multiple evils in Quantumania. Deadline first reported in 2020 that the main foe would likely be Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors — a fact confirmed by Majors himself during the Quantumania panel. As Majors put it: “There will be conquering” — a formidable promise after his turn as the Kang variant He Who Remains in Disney Plus’s Loki. At its SDCC 2022 presentation, Marvel called Kang “very important to Phase Five.” Make of that what you will.

Now Marvel’s announced that Scott will be facing off against another familiar face: M.O.D.O.K., who was first rumored to be joining the MCU in 2021. Marvel revealed this information during the Hall H panel. A glimpse of M.O.D.O.K. can be seen in the trailer.

But the new additions aren’t all bad guys (that we know of): He’ll be joined by none other than Bill Murray. Scott will have some more backup in the form of his daughter Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton), who may be poised to help kick off the MCU’s long-awaited foray into the Young Avengers.
