beyond itself Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is it a box office hit or flop, the big movie discussion points to Kang the Conqueror. The villain, played by Jonathan Majors, is the center of the film and one of Marvel’s key characters in their upcoming projects.
Something that Peyton Reed’s film made clear. In addition to being a powerful figure, the script spent a fair amount of time exploring his intentions, personality, and future in the franchise. Not surprisingly, it is the nemesis of the Marvel heroes in its next phases five and six.
But the attention on Kang the Conqueror wasn’t limited to his role in the feature film. The two post-credit scenes include crucial information to understand the scope of the threat he represents. Especially, when delving into all the variants that we will see sooner or later in the saga. The extra sequences showed at least four of the incarnations that the villain will take throughout future narratives. We tell you what is the importance of it and what you should keep in mind about its capabilities.

Immortus, the most mysterious of the faces of Kang, the Conqueror
The first post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania it shows three versions of the villain arguing with each other. They discuss the possibility that The Avengers they could have discovered the multiverse and the danger that it represents. The conversation leader is a variant of Kang the Conqueror with beard and blue skin. It is one of the oldest of the time traveler and that comes directly from the comic: Immortus.
In the traditional comics, it is the one that governs the kingdom of Limbo, allowing you to find yourself out of space and chronological order. Furthermore, he was the first incarnation of Nathaniel Richards experimenting with techniques to avoid death. Once he could not delay the possibility of passing away much longer, he found another dimension of reality in which the concept of physical disappearance did not exist. So it is that he has lived the longest, the wisest and the one who knows the future. Thanks to which he can predict the multiple variations of the future.
In the world of Marvel, Immortus It’s not especially evil. He has collaborated with The Avengers to stop their younger personalities from learning of their plans for domination. So it’s likely that he’ll be thrown in as a self-care opponent — oddly enough — at especially critical moments.
Rama-Tut, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh
In the discussion of the first post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniawas next to Immortus a variant with Egyptian attire. What identifies her, without a doubt, as Rama-Tut. This time, it is about Kang, the Conqueror in an incarnation who traveled to the past and, with cutting-edge technology, managed to conquer Ancient Egypt. in the same way as Immortuscontrols time to avoid old age, something that allowed him to rule for centuries.
Finally, when the population began to resist his excesses, he became a dangerous dictator. In the comics, he is the first to face the fantastic four —perhaps, that’s why he must have been included—and be defeated by reed richards. A point of interest? That the character coincides with several narratives that have already reached the cinema in one way or another. branch tut faced the mutant Sabah Nur, who would later become Apocalypse, included in the franchise X Men and played by Oscar Isaac.
Much stranger is that he stood up to the Egyptian god of the moon on at least two occasions Khonshu. Which means that it could be part of an eventual second season of Moon Knight.
The future and the past cease to matter to Kang the Conqueror.
The variant that completes the trio is the Scarlet Centurion. It is about the man that Kang, the Conqueror, became when he was expelled from Egypt as a branch tut. That is, an older version of one of the men she argues with. This implies that Marvel will include, at the same time, several personalities of the villain in the same timeline. Something that could explain Kevin Feige’s constant statements in which he indicates that he will be part of projects simultaneously.
The character feels a deep admiration for the Doctor Doomwhich makes clearer the link that the role of Jonathan Majors will have with the upcoming plot of the fantastic four. He is the one who has — at least, of the assembled group — the best use of the technology of the future from which he comes and also the only one with psychic abilities. The latter developed in the midst of experimentation in space-time.
A curious data? In the comic, this version of Kang the Conqueror fell in love with Ravonna Renslayer, who appeared in the series Loki. After the murder of the one that remainsthe big unknown was who the police officer would find. TVA in his quest to find the creator of the agency. With the information added by the third part of ant manit is possible to deduce that it will most likely reach the Scarlet Centurion. Which, in turn, would make production akin to the upcoming story of Marvel’s first powerful family.
Victor Timely
The second post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania introduces another interesting version of Kang, the Conqueror. This time it’s about Victor Timelywho can be seen in a scientific presentation in front of a frightened Loki and a confused Mobius. She is the one who decided to create his own empire. First, the small town of Timely in Wisconsin. He appointed himself mayor and turned the enclave into a center of technological production for his own benefit. The prosperous territory remained untouched by any investigation as long as he was able to conceal the mechanical advance from him.
Later, when it was impossible to hide the futuristic technology available to the city, the character made one of his traditional plays. He abandoned the town to build on the same point, but underground, Chronopolis.

It is the kingdom of Kang the Conqueror at its best, a quantum corridor and the place where he keeps most of his technological advances. It is likely that the new chapters of Loki show the people of Timely and to Victor as central elements of his argument.
