After the death of Thanos, the Marvel Cinematic Universe looked like it had the perfect opportunity to wrap up.

But that isn't the case. The Infinity Saga may have drawn to a close, but the Multiverse Saga is only getting started. So, since Phase 5 is officially underway, Marvel is ready to introduce the next overarching antagonist of the franchise - Kang the Conqueror. Although Jonathan Majors portrayed a variant of the time-weaving supervillain in the Disney+ series, Loki, the true incarnation of Kang will debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

We're not just talking about another baddie - Because time itself is Kang's plaything, this guy is beyond a Thanos-level threat. Forget about wiping out half the universe. Due to his masterhood over space-time, Kang's ambitions jeopardise every reality in existence. Even with the combined forces of every superhero in the cosmos, it's difficult to comprehend how anyone could best him in battle.

Will the MCU's new big bad become as popular as Thanos? Who knows? But because of the towering talents of Jonathan Majors and the scale of Kang's power, he's sure to leave an impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a way we haven't seen since Avengers: Endgame.
