That's good news. I'm surprised.

So happy I love the Ant-Man movies.

Everyone thought this would never happen, sure showed them.

I was hoping someone else would get a shot at directing. I love the character but was dying to get out of the theater by the end of "AM&TW".

Jonathan Majors joins the cast The studio had no comment, but sources close to the project say he is likely to play the super-villain Kang the Conqueror.

So they cast a black guy to play a character named "Kang"?

... Is this intentional?

The An-Man movies are inconsequential but a lot of fun. Kang is a great villain and I hope it's true. I suppose this is my excuse to slab a copy of Avengers #8 I bought about 13 years ago now.....

So are most of them

You could tell me Batman is in this movie and I'd wait for home video. I can't remember the last time I was as bored in a theater, as I was for the Ant-Man sequel (Maybe SS but that was nearly in the "so bad it's good" category). I was looking forward to it too, but I think the director just doesn't do it for me.

Hoping to be pleasantly surprised when I eventually get around to it.

I certainly hope Kang isn't the main villain. I like the Ant-Man movies just fine but Kang is too good a villain to waste on this. Heck he is the kind of villain that could be the next Thanos-level big bad in the MCU.

This seems really, really weird.

REALLY weird.

This seems as weird as sending the Suicide Squad to fight Darkseid, or Robin to fight Ares all by himself.

I'm going to go with "nah fam, it ain't true" until otherwise convinced.

If it's true I'm hoping that it's just a cameo a small role to set him up for a new Avengers movie.

Deadline is a reliable source. It's likely true.

I'm not very knowledgeable about Kang the Conqueror, but I'm assuming there's a Quantum Realm connection? Given Kang's whole thing is time travel?

It's looking like he will be a major villain across multiple films

Yeah sounds like he's going to be introduced and carry on across a number of other films.

I kind of suspect it will be like Thanos at the end of Avengers combined with Thanos in GotG 1 here. Maybe. With the idea that this is a player that will pop up again in like Fantastic Four or onward. It's hard to imagine an Ant-Man 3 where he is like the central villain that is defeated definitively by the end.

The suicide squad fought starro!
But yeah in the MCU Ant-Man isn't even the creator of Ultron and gets treated as a discount avenger
