MCU movies and shows to watch before Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Ant-Man is venturing to the Quantum Realm and organising the subsequent section of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Regardless of being the beginning of Section 5 of the MCU, the newest adventures of Marvel’s (generally) smallest hero has surprisingly few connections to earlier Marvel tasks.

That being mentioned, there are, in fact, fairly just a few references, plot particulars, and little nuances you may decide up by testing the precise films and TV episodes forward of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s launch. Right here’s all the pieces we recommend watching earlier than you head to the theater when the film is launched on Feb. 17.

The essential stuff

This listing solely contains the flicks (and exhibits) that matter most to Quantumania. The primary two Ant-Man films are there, together with Avengers: Endgame, which explains how Scott Lang bought the place he’s originally of this film, and Loki season 1, which launched Kang to the MCU.

Kang’s multiversal watch order

Picture: Marvel Studios

Hear, this order isn’t essentially about “canon,” and it actually gained’t let you know a lot about how Quantumania suits into the bigger Marvel universe, however it’s a number of probably the most thematically related materials for this explicit film, and there’s one thing to be mentioned for that. Not a lot. However one thing.

This listing begins with the common stuff: Ant-Man’s first outing, then his authentic mission with (a few of) the Avengers. Subsequent it will get just a little weirder, and introduces the Star Wars universe to the fray, then mixes some Marvel with Agatha Christie, then hops again into Marvel earlier than actually diving into the multiverse with Males in Black and Loki season 1. Then we glance to the long run.

Kang is a multiversal villain, and to be able to cope with him correctly and provides him the respect he deserves, we have to create a watch order that follows go well with. So right here’s what to observe:

• Ant-Man (Disney Plus)
• Captain America: Civil Struggle (Disney Plus)
• Star Wars: Episode II – Assault of the Clones (Disney Plus)
• Ant-Man and the Wasp (Disney Plus)
• Homicide on the Orient Categorical (Freevee)
• Avengers: Endgame (Disney Plus)
• Males in Black (Peacock)
• Loki season 1 (Disney Plus)
• Creed III (when it’s launched in theaters Feb. 27)
