A wise man once said, when you mess with time, it tends to mess back. In Endgame, this was a throw away comment that referred to Scott Lang growing very old and very young within a matter of minutes, but in Quantumania, Ant-Man will realise just how serious a warning this was.

Kang the Conqueror is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and has the genuine potential to be the next Thanos. The time travelling war lord was born in another dimension in the 30th century, and has since jumped throughout time with the simple goal of domination.

Though the future was relatively easy for Kang to conquer, the modern Earth-616 eluded the super villain thanks to the likes of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers. Phase Four will see him bring his war first to Ant-Man and the Wasp, likely through the Quantum Realm, before hopefully evolving into the MCU's newest big bad.

Another exciting future possibility lies within Kang's true, original identity. Born Nathanial Richards, Kang is a distant relative of Mister Fantastic, while it is possible that there may also be a trace of Von Doom within him too. Surely, this is a storyline Marvel Studios would be stupid to omit from the future, right?
