Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) has daddy issues.

No, not with his own father; he has issues with how he wasn’t there for his daughter, Cassie (Kathryn Newton). Being Ant-Man has meant that he missed a lot of his daughter’s formative years, and that’s something that Kang the Conqueror seeks to exploit in a new trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Lang can’t resist when Kang (Jonathan Majors) offers him a second chance in exchange for an alliance with an Avenger. Kang asks Ant-Man to bring him something he needs, with the threat that if he doesn’t, everything he calls a life will end.

“I don’t care who this guy is. I just lost so much,” Scott says via voiceover as the on-screen images convey the years he lost with Cassie during the Blip. “He can give us a second chance.”

But after he shakes on the deal, it becomes more than Lang bargains for. He finds himself at risk of losing everything thanks to Kang’s immense powers, including the ability to “rewrite existence” and “shatter timelines,” whether he holds up his end of the bargain or not.

In order to escape the quantum realm, Lang and his family find themselves at Kang and his budding dynasty’s mercy. The trailer gives us a glimpse of Kang’s expansive base, the city of Chronopolis, and the military might he commands.

In addition to Rudd, Quantumania stars Evangeline Lilly, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Douglas New additions to the franchise include David Dastmalchian as Veb, Katy O’Brian as Jentorra, William Jackson Harper as Quaz, and Bill Murray as Lord Krylar. The trailer also shows Ant-Man gaining his own variant, as well as our first look at the MCU version of M.O.D.O.K. Corey Stoll, will be playing the giant-headed AIM leader in the film.

The movie builds to a climactic battle between Kang and Ant-Man that could mean the end of Lang. As the Avenger gets pummeled, he all but concedes any chance of beating the time-altering villain.

“I don’t have to win. We both just have to lose,” he says.

This film should be the story that begins Kang’s tenure as the new Marvel big bad, bringing a focus to Marvel’s Phase 5 that was largely missing from Phase 4. The preview teases Quantumania as “the beginning of a new dynasty,” a nod to the upcoming Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, expected to close out Phase 5 in 2025.
