Jonathan Majors is an absolute FORCE as #Kang and the NEW KING of the Multiverse. The final battle is ASTONISHING, but I really missed the comedic charm throughout. #AntMan57482#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania is a solid, yet overly ambitious start to the next phase of the MCU.

Every time he calls her “peanut,” I just kind of want to cry. Please make 10 more one-shots just of him catching up on her birthdays.23243I think my favorite part of #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania was the dynamic between Scott and Cassie.

I'm real excited to see him square up with more Avengers.&quot;The slightly negative reactionsMODOK in Ant-Man 3 (Image via Marvel)Running for 2 hours and 5 minutes, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania tries to do a lot in its short runtime, and some believed it doesn't do justice to MODOK.

Jonathan Majors’ Kang is a charismatic, intense baddy and visually awesome, but the threat he represents is too abstract.

Blending Star Wars, Fifth Element, Dune + Strange World. I don't think its going to work for everyone but I really dug this tone. Its a bit chaotic towards the end but wraps up nicely.

The story is plagued with filler, while sufficient, lacks depth. However, Majors does give an outstanding performance as the cunning and ruthless #Kang.

This is what the film seems to have in common with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which was also a little over 2 hours long and tried to do a lot in the short runtime.The general consensus and synopsisAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (Image via Marvel)From what can be analyzed, Kang the Conqueror will be the highlight, while the family aspect of Quantumania will encourage many to watch the film with their near and dear ones. A huge chunk of the film will take place in the Quantum Realm, so there will be plenty of CGI involved. Netizens believe that while Kang and the family dynamics of Ant-Man 3 work, MODOK doesn’t seem to.Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is set to release on February 17.
