Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

The sequel to Ant-Man and Ant-Man and The Wasp, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the 31st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Since Avengers: Endgame, Scott Lang's life has going pretty well (even if he has to deal with an outspoken teenage daughter) before Hank and Cassie's seemingly harmless experiments with the Quantum Realm end up dragging the Pym/Lang family into the realm. A realm that isn't as empty, and far more dangerous, than Janet let on. . .

Tropes used in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania include:

• Alternate Self: Kang is the variant of himself that He Who Remains feared so much.
• Ascended Extra: Krylar appeared in a single issue of Hulk. Here's, he's one of the main characters.
  • Kang the Conqueror - despite being the Bigger Bad - never actually appeared in Loki. Here he's the Big Bad.
• Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever: Scott shows this off to tear through Kang's compound.
  • Cassie super-sizes herself to take down MODOK.
• The Bus Came Back: Darren Cross comes back, after not being seen since Ant-Man.
• But for Me It Was Tuesday: Kang has killed so many variants of the Avengers that he can't remember them all. He just remembers that one wielded a hammer.
• Composite Character: Darren Cross becomes the MCU's version of M.O.D.O.K.
• Curb Stomp Battle: MODOK is a head. Cassie is fifty feet tall. Though admittedly she did regard growing as a Dangerous Forbidden Technique she wasn't entirely sure would work.
• Darker and Edgier: Compared to the previous two Ant-Man movies.
• Dirty Cop: Cassie gets in trouble at the start of the film for protesting them.
• The End - or Is It?: Scott asks himself this in the dénouement, wondering if Kang was telling the truth about his variants or not.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Despite being Multiversal Conquerors, the Council of Kangs felt that the main Kang was so dangerous that they banished him to the Quantum Realm. Considering he still managed to conquer it using only a broken ship as a base, they weren't exactly wrong.
  • For her help, Kang was willing to take Janet back home.
• Fun with Acronyms: Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing. Though Scott point outs the outlying "F".
• Human Aliens: Krylar is human in all the ways that matter, but not actually human.
• My Death Is Just the Beginning: What Kang warns. Because if his variants detect that someone can kill a Kang, they'll respond in kind.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Had Janet told everyone about Kang, there's a good chance the film wouldn't have happened.
• Out of Focus: Hope doesn't get much to do or have much character focus.
• Redemption Equals Death: What Darren/MODOK thinks, nominating himself an Avenger. More confused as to how he got there than anything else, everyone just lets him have it.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Kang in the Qunatum Realm. It's why Janet was horrified that Hank and Cassie were poking a hole into the can.
• Reed Richards Is Useless: Averted. Hope is using the Pym Particle to help the world following the Blip.
• Sequel Non Entity: All of the supporting cast from the previous two films don't show up.
• Took a Level In Badass: After being a terrified little girl in the previous two films, the now teenaged Cassie has donned a suit and is fighting alongside her dad.
• Translator Microbes: "Drink the ooze."
• Villain Ball: Kang going back on his word and keeping Cassie prisoner. Had he released her, Scott wouldn't have gone on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge that allowed La Résistance
• Villain Has a Point: Well maybe not "a point" but The Stinger implies Kang's warning about the Council of Kangs wasn't entirely a fabrication.
• Villainous Breakdown: Kang has one when it becomes clear that he, a man who has conquered universes, is going to lose to a man who talks to ants.
• What You Are in the Dark: Despite having had a potential way back to Earth decades ago, Janet refused to release Kang into the Multiverse.
