Even though the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is well recognized for its epic fights, strong characters, and gripping drama, it delves into science and technology's complexity.

Ant-Man, first introduced in the MCU in 2015, was quickly recognized as a unique and entertaining character with his humor and wit. However, his importance to the MCU's exploration of the Quantum Realm was not initially evident.

In his first film, a scene showed the audience that Pym's technology, which could manipulate and enter the Quantum Realm, made the world of Ant-Man a pivotal aspect in the MCU.

Ant-Man's ability to navigate the quantum realm has had significant consequences for the MCU. In the film Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, uses his knowledge of the quantum realm to help rescue Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp, from its clutches. This mission helped further expand the MCU's understanding of the quantum realm and showed the audience that Ant-Man is a vital player in the franchise.

At the subatomic scale, there is an alternate dimension known as the Quantum Realm, where the Laws of Physics are different and time and space are not as we understand them. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has only hinted at the possibilities of this alternate dimension so far, but it is clear that it holds immense potential for the universe.

The notion that time and space don't exist as we know them, is one crucial aspect of the Quantum Realm, and this implies that entities in the Quantum Realm are fundamentally immortal since they can exist outside of time.

The Quantum Realm has also been shown to hold immense power. In the MCU, the Quantum Realm is a source of energy that can be harnessed and used to create new technologies and weapons. This power has made this alternate dimension a significant focus of the MCU, with characters like Ant-Man, the Wasp, and Kang exploring its depths and harnessing its power.

The relevance of Ant-Man to the MCU will only increase with the arrival of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The MCU's exploration of the Quantum Realm holds immense potential for the franchise, and Ant-Man is a crucial player in unlocking its secrets.
