The thirty first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is here with our Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania Movie Review Podcast. The first movie in Phase Five goes deeper into a new villain brilliantly played by Jonathan Majors and has a lot of fun on the way. We chat all about the movie in our latest podcast.
Synopsis for our Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania Movie Review

Directed by: Peyton Reed
Story by: Jeff Loveness
After the Battle of Earth, Scott Lang has become a successful memoirist and has been living happily with his girlfriend Hope van Dyne. Lang’s now teenage daughter Cassie has become an activist whose activities result in Scott bailing her out of jail. While visiting Hope’s parents, Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, Cassie reveals that she has been working on a device that can make contact with the Quantum Realm. Upon learning of this, Janet panics and tries to shut off the device, but the message is received, resulting in a portal that opens and pulls the five of them into the Quantum Realm. Scott and Cassie are found by natives who are rebelling against their ruler, while Hope, Janet, and Pym explore a sprawling city to get answers.
Hope, Janet and Hank meet with Lord Krylar, a former ally of Janet’s, who reveals that things have changed since she left, and that he is now working for Kang, the realm’s ruler. The three are forced to flee and steal his ship.
The Langs are told by the rebels’ leader Jentorra that Janet is indirectly responsible for Kang’s uprising, having helped rebuild his Multiversal Power Core after he was “exiled” before enlarging it beyond use. The rebels soon come under attack by Kang’s forces, consisting of robotic subordinates led by M.O.D.O.K., who is revealed to be Darren Cross, having survived his apparent death at Lang’s hands.
The Langs are taken to Kang, who demands that Scott helps to get his power core back or else he will kill Cassie. Scott is taken to the core’s location and shrinks down. He is nearly drowned in a sea of variants of himself, but Hope arrives and helps him acquire the power core. However, Kang reneges on the deal, capturing Janet and destroying her ship with Pym on it. After being rescued by his ants, who were also pulled into the Quantum Realm, rapidly evolved, and became hyper-intelligent, Pym helps Lang and Hope as they make their way to Kang. Still imprisoned, Cassie rescues Jentorra and they commence an uprising against Kang and his army. During the fight, Cassie appeals to M.O.D.O.K’s character, reminding him he wasn’t only designed for killing, he doesn’t have to be a dick, which convinces him to turn sides and fight Kang, though this costs him his life.
Janet fixes the power core as she, Pym, Hope, and Cassie jump through a portal home, but Kang attacks Scott, nearly beating him into submission. Hope returns as she and Lang destroy the power core and knock Kang into it, causing him to be pulled into oblivion. Cassie reopens the portal on her end for Lang and Hope to return home. As Lang happily resumes his life, he begins to rethink what he was told about Kang’s death being the start of something terrible happening, but brushes it off.
In a mid-credits scene, numerous variants of Kang meet following the death of one of their own and plan their multiversal uprising. In a post-credits scene, Loki and Mobius M. Mobius are time traveling together. They spot another Kang variant named Victor Timely in the 1920s. After his last run in with a Kang variant Loki is very concerned.
