It says a lot that perhaps the biggest question coming away from the latest Ant-Man movie wasn't, "What the hell is going on with Kang?" but rather, "Did Kang and Janet hook up or what?"

It's established early on that Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Kang (Jonathan Majors) spent a lot of time together while they were trapped in the Quantum Realm for years, and so fans naturally wondered whether or not the pair got amorous during that period.

After all, they're both attractive people who were shown to have solid chemistry, and Janet makes it clear that she did have romantic liaisons during her 30 years in the Quantum Realm, flat-out admitting that she "had needs" and got down with Lord Krylar (Bill Murray).

Shortly after Quantumania's release, writer Jeff Loveness was grilled by IGN about the prospect of Janet and Kang hooking up, and said of the matter:

"Ohhhhhh. I mean, yeah you got Mr. Hunk over there all day, so mysterious. He's got his little orb. I mean, I don't know what's in that orb... But I think there's a lot of strength in those types of relationships that could go either way. And maybe it did, maybe it didn't. Maybe that's a reason she didn't want to tell her family about it... But yeah, maybe they had sex. Who knows?"

So, maybe it happened? "Kanget/Jang" shippers, your hope remains alive.
