WARNING: Spoilers below for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
In the wake of defeating Kang in the Quantum Realm, Scott Lang and the rest of his family emerge after seemingly saving the universe, but some fans think that there are key differences in this reality than the one we saw him in early on in the adventure, potentially confirming that Lang has emerged in an alternate reality. Loveness might not have debunked the idea outright, but addressed that this theory might not be as outlandish as one might think, and even if the theory proves incorrect in this instance, it might be a concept a future MCU film will explore.
“I think it’s very interesting. I can’t say much. It actually is not too far off from some possibilities, but I can’t say anything,” Loveness recalled to ComicBook.com. “For now, the only important thing to say is that the multiverse is limitless and Scott Lang was the man who saved the universe in [Avengers: Endgame] and now he may be the person who accidentally f-cked up the multiverse for everybody.”
He continued, “So far, things are good, he’s back to the life that he thinks he has and loves, but he doesn’t have the [assurance] that he did in the top of the movie. That Rocky III swagger is gone and, suddenly, the most carefree, luckiest guy in the MCU has a huge shadow hanging over him and he doesn’t know what to do about it. That felt like an interesting tonal shift for Scott Lang and we’ll see where that goes forward. But, who knows, man?”
With Loveness attached to write Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, these comments hint that we could see such theories become more prominent heading toward that team-up film, if we don’t see it explored beforehand in other MCU entries.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is in theaters now.
