Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania theories and questions (Polygon)

Who dies in Ant-Man 3? What happened to Bill Murray? How does the story tie into WandaVision? Why was Kang exiled? What's causing the Incursions?

[He Who Remains](https://www.polygon.com/22576948/loki-he-who-remains-kang-the-conqueror-actor-jonathan-majors), a variant of Kang who ruled over all the timelines to make sure all the other Kangs wouldn’t come into existence and start a giant war. The other Kangs confirm it too, [in the post-credits scene](https://www.polygon.com/e/23363294). [confirmed it to Polygon in an interview](https://www.polygon.com/e/23367219). Janet Van Dyne shrugs this off in a single, casual line about how the Quantum Realm has a lot of layers — this latest version is just what you get when you go past the Void and the energy field and all that — but it sure raises the question of how many more versions of the Quantum Realm we’re going to get before it’s all over. [Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness](https://www.polygon.com/reviews/23054675/doctor-strange-2-review-multiverse-madness-spoiler-free-mcu), Incursions happen when two universes threaten to collide. [He Who Remains](https://www.polygon.com/22576948/loki-he-who-remains-kang-the-conqueror-actor-jonathan-majors), the version of Kang who was supposedly freezing the entire timeline into a single arc before a variant version of Loki kills him. [Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania](https://www.polygon.com/e/23367219) sets up the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s [Phase 5 and 6 stories](https://www.polygon.com/sdcc/23275835/marvel-mcu-phase-5-schedule-calendar-upcoming-ant-man), largely by introducing the [deeply weird multiverse villain Kang](https://www.polygon.com/23602923/who-is-kang-he-who-remains-immortus-council-of-kangs) and his infinite counterparts as a threat to everyone in the MCU. This one isn’t a question we had, because we pretty much all have to watch every Marvel thing to keep up on the story for work purposes. All the things we see him do in Quantumania would be technological, and probably tied to that fancy suit he’s wearing, with the face shield that makes his eyes glow blue. In his initial arrival to the Quantum Realm, seen when Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) flashes back to her 30 years there, he just looks like an ordinary man who’s lost, sweaty, hurting, and confused. But Quantumania’s [frantic pace and choppy editing](https://www.polygon.com/reviews/23597532/ant-man-wasp-quantumania-review-mcu) left us with other questions, thanks to gaps in the story that didn’t seem entirely deliberate. That leaves a lot of questions open by the end of the film, as Marvel teases bits of the story to come.

Who Are William Jackson Harper's Quaz and the Freedom Fighters ... (Collider.com)

Among the new additions to the MCU is The Good Place star William Jackson Harper as Quaz, one of the Freedom Fighters of the Quantum Realm.

Despite their initial disagreements, Quaz and the Freedom Fighters take part in the final conflict. The Freedom Fighters are somewhat inspired by a group of the same name that appeared in Marvel Comics’ 1984 storyline Secret Wars, which was developed in conjunction with a toy line of the same name. In the MCU version, Janet was a member of the Freedom Fighters before trapping Kang in the subatomic universe and escaping back to reality on Earth-616. They are approached by Quaz, as well as the freedom fighting warrior Jentorra (Katy O’Brian) and the comical slime creature [Veb (David Dastmalchian)](https://collider.com/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-david-dastmalchian-veb/). Harper delivers a fun performance that still underlies the importance of the Freedom Fighters and their mission.
