Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has a new strange logo. For the third instalment of the MCU sub-franchise, director Peyton Reed reunites with Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lily. Principal photography for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is cAnt-Man 3 urrently underway in London, and plot details for and the Wasp: Quantumania are still scarce.It’s safe to assume, based on its title and the events of the Infinity Saga, that it will continue its exploration of the Quantum Realm.
The Quantum Realm, as defined by Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) in the first Ant-Man film in 2015, is “a reality where all concepts of time and space become irrelevant as you shrink for all eternity.” Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), who had been stranded there for decades, was successfully rescued in 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.
The time heist was made possible five years later in Avengers: Endgame by Pym’s Quantum Tunnel, which allowed the surviving heroes to access the Quantum Realm with the help of several vials of Pym Particles. With so much more to learn about the Quantum Realm, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will undoubtedly delve deep into it. Aside from what has been revealed thus far, the new logo on the back of a movie set chair suggests the threequel’s ties to the multiverse. Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) will serve as the main antagonist in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
In Loki, Marvel Studios debuted a variant of the villain named He Who Remains; the character established the Time Variance Authority/TVA to prevent another multiversal war. But, blinded by her rage, Sylvie (Sophia di Martino) decided to murder him, causing the multiverse to collapse into chaos. When you look closely at this logo, you’ll notice that the text colours match those of the branching multiverse in the Disney+ series. It’s worth noting that the original project logo featured the word “Quantumania” in the same colours as the Quantum Realm, which has previously appeared in the MCU.
This suggests that the aftermath of He Who Remains’ death will have a direct impact on the threequel, which could explain why Kang the Conqueror fights Scott Lang (Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Lily). The logo’s font, on the other hand, is admittedly a little too stylized. For casual fans who aren’t familiar with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s full title, it may be difficult to decipher. However, the loops could be related to the concept of time loops. As Mobius (Owen Wilson) explained in Loki, certain events occur repeatedly because they are supposed to be the proper flow of time.
Meanwhile, He Who Remains claimed that even if he died, he would eventually end up in his Citadel at the end of time, implying that what had happened before would simply repeat itself.
