MODOK has been unveiled in the latest trailer for Ant-Man 3 - and fans have already turned the villain into a meme after his "goofy" reveal.

“The memes for this MODOK are gonna kill me,” a fifth [tweeted](https://twitter.com/carbonite_13/status/1612655791231873025). “Let’s realize the meme potential MODOK is going to have in this movie,” a third [tweeted](https://twitter.com/KingOzaru_/status/1612705461756923905).

However, as the trailer hints, as Scott goes ahead with the deal, crazy things happen in the multi-verse. With many more titles yet to come, fans can expect a lot of twists and turns in this Multiverse saga of MCU The new trailer shows Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), along with Hope’s parents Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), exploring the Quantum Realm.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania's new trailer reveals a surprising MCU villain twist with the introduction of MODOK.

As an acronym for 'Mental Organism Designed Only For Killing', MODOK is about as iconic as they come in terms of Marvel villains and has a complicated history with the [MCU](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a825774/marvel-cinematic-universe-in-chronological-order/). We already met a Kang Variant in the form of [Loki's He Who Remains](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a37064683/ant-man-quantumania-kang-loki/), but this guy is the 'main' Kang we assume Earth's Mightiest Heroes will be going up against. We've seen legacy villains like Red Skull and Loki return, and with us never having seen Cross die, it's a clever twist on the source material to make him MODOK. Remembering time works differently in the Quantum Realm, Cross' new look could come from the fact he might have been trapped down there for decades, centuries, even millenniums. MODOK purists might be annoyed they've fused two characters instead of getting a comics-accurate creation, but at least he looks the part. Rumours were already swirling that Ant-Man's Corey Stoll would be playing MODOK and thanks to the latest trailer, we now know it's true. Tarleton underwent mutagenic procedures that massively increased his intelligence but left him with MODOK's signature oversized head. [team of villains known as the Intelligencia](https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a41328533/she-hulk-intelligencia-captain-america-4/) led us to believe he could pop up in [She-Hulk](https://www.digitalspy.com/she-hulk/).

A new trailer for Ant-Man 3 has revealed the arrival of a classic Marvel character.

A new poster for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania shows Paul Rudd standing tall as he prepares for a fight with Kang the Conqueror.

It will set up Kang’s Reign over Phase 5 and 6 as he will also be the main villain in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. This Kang, trapped in the Quantum Realm, is the evil mastermind fans know and love from the comics. If Ant-Man helps Kang then the manipulative foe will give Ant-Man his lost time with his daughter. [Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania](https://collider.com/tag/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania/). However, looming in the background is the MCU’s next big bad in [Jonathan Majors](https://collider.com/tag/jonathan-majors/)’ Kang the Conqueror. The famous Avenger is surrounded by Kang’s army, but the MCU hero also has his team and family to back him up.

Kang the Conqueror arrives in the MCU through Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is kicking off Phase 5. Here's everything we know about it so far.

Corey Stoll (Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket) has also been rumored to appear in the movie after seemingly dying in the first Ant-Man installment. Director Peyton Reed has teased a darker tone and much higher stakes, as this Ant-Man movie has the huge responsibility of making fans and general audiences care about Kang as the next Thanos-level threat to the Marvel universe (and multiverse). Of course, Marvel veterans can already spot Cassie Lang’s future as superheroine Stature on the horizon, and the first trailer has teased that development, so there’s a lot going on in this one beyond Kang’s immediate menace. And if you need to catch up with Marvel’s theatrical releases, check out our guide to all the And that includes several new movies, including Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is set to arrive in February – here you’ll find what we know so far about the threequel. The next two phases will be shorter than usual, but with Marvel Studios putting out new projects at an unprecedented rate after the introduction of Disney Plus shows, it makes sense that the “Multiverse Saga” – supposedly ending in 2026 with Avengers: Secret Wars – will take less time to fully develop than the “Infinity Saga” (2008-2019).

An ET poll of analysts had expected the Mumbai-headquartered company’s profits to expand by 12.5%.

The next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is right around the corner. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will be hitting theaters on February 17, ...

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is directed by Peyton Reed from a script by Jeff Loveness. Also joining the MCU in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania are William Jackson Harper, Katy O'Brian, and Bill Murray. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania sees Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly returning as the titular heroes alongside Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Douglas who are all returning to the MCU after last being seen in Avengers: Endgame.

From actor Corey Stoll's MODOK to Kang to Yellowjacket, here's everything we noticed in Marvel's Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania trailer.

Plus his death would set up some pretty huge stakes to help lead us [into the next two Avengers movies](https://www.polygon.com/21452835/new-marvel-movies-come-out-release-schedule) where the team will have to face off with Kang. While D23 audiences saw him back in September, this is the first time the rest of us have gotten a look at MODOK, evil genius, grotesque laboratory experiment, and among the best beloved Marvel supervillains (for being so awful). [trailer for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania](https://www.polygon.com/23547481/ant-man-wasp-quantumania-trailer-modok-kang-release-date-cast) gives Marvel fans a big little look at the next installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is only about a month away. This trailer goes heavy on the foreshadowing, almost aggressively teasing Scott’s death at the end of this movie. Of course, the only problem with this universe is that Kang the Conqueror appears to control it. It’s not an Ant-Man trailer like any we’ve seen before, being [short on jokes](https://youtu.be/GJXL22sRuG4) and long on angst, but let’s dig into those details before Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly return for the third and presumably final Ant-Man movie in February.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is bringing back a familiar face, actor David Dastmalchian, who has been cast in a new role in the MCU.

Luckily for the actor, new Ant-Man director Peyton Reed knew Dastmalchian’s Dark Knight work and was a fan of Prisoners as well. Gemma Chan appeared in Captain Marvel as Kree sniper Minn-Erva and then went on to lead Eternals as Sersi. Back then, he was a struggling actor best known for small roles in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight and Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners. Dastmalchian is now one of the few actors to play multiple roles in the MCU. The actor, who played Russian ex-con Kurt in Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) is returning for the upcoming [Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania/). However he will not be playing Kurt, and instead is stepping into a new role, a character named Veb.

A new, action-packed trailer for Marvel Studios' “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania debuted during Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship.

Super Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp. A new, action-packed trailer for Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania debuted during Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship. The sci-fi adventure opens in theaters on February 17, 2023.

The latest trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania features Marvel's next big villain, MODOK, and a colony of Scott Langs.

The new trailer reveals a lot of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. And with Cassie becoming the heroine Stature for the threequel, that would be an emotional way to pass the baton to a new generation. There will be so many Variants of Scott in the upcoming movie that they’ll look like an ant swarm. Even if Spider-Man: No Way Home, Loki, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness already featured multiple Variants of the same character, Quantumania’s latest trailer shows Scott splitting himself into two versions of himself instantly. In the MCU, A.I.M. It’s worth noting that Kang Dynasty is the title of the fifth Avengers movie, Kang is originally from the 31st century and packs powerful weapons from the future. So, it’s exciting to see how much power he already has in the Quantum Realm. That’s a long time to stay away from the people you love, but it wouldn’t be the last time Scott was split from his daughter. And thanks to the new footage, we know why Scott Lang/Ant-Man ( [Paul Rudd](https://collider.com/tag/paul-rudd/)) decides to work with Kang. [Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania](https://collider.com/tag/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania/) is here, revealing new secrets about the highly-anticipated threequel. As expected, the trailer is focused on [Jonathan Majors](https://collider.com/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-poster-jonathan-majors/)’ Kang the Conqueror, the new overarching villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

1) suggests [Disney is making us wait longer to see new Marvel movies at home](/news/disney-is-making-you-wait-longer-and-longer-to-stream-marvel-movies/) compared to earlier in the pandemic era. Initially a criminal from the far future who traveled back in time and conquered ancient Egypt, he was later seen in further comics in which he was named Kang the Conqueror. A sort of cyborg brain, he's previously appeared in the Hulu comedy animated series, voiced by Patton Oswalt, and in the 2020 Avengers game. The character who would become Kang was first seen in the Marvel comic Fantastic Four #19 in 1963, created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. Loki's interference saw the return of these parallel universes, and we saw the consequences in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Kang we met in Loki was a being called He-Who-Remains, who kept the universe from splitting into infinite parallel timelines, aka the Multiverse. The new film also features a first MCU appearance for MODOK, a comic character who goes by the name Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing. Quantumania is the third solo outing for Paul Rudd's size-changing hero Scott Lang, following 2015's Ant-Man and 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp. According to the trailer, he makes a deal with the evil Kang -- which goes horribly wrong, of course. This time Cassie is along for the ride, as Scott tries to regain the time he lost with his troubled teenage daughter. Here's everything you need to know about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, including release date, cast, plot and trailers. Marvel's smallest hero is heading back to the big screen.
