In 2022 we celebrate the sixty years of Ant-Man, the character of Marvel Comics, who has also won a leading role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he will return shortly with Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. To celebrate this anniversary, Marvel Comics has decided to make a miniseries in which we will see the three famous alter egos of the character, Hank Pym (the Original), Scott Lang (the Thief) and Eric O'Grady (The incorrigible) share the scene, thanks to a plot written by Al Ewing and drawn by Tom Reilly. The three Ant-Man will also be joined by a new ant-man, coming from the future.

In announcing the miniseries for the 60th anniversary of Ant-Man, Al Ewing made no secret of his enthusiasm:

“For the anniversary of Ant-Man, we wanted to do things big for the smallest hero in the world, digging a tunnel like an ant in the character's sixty-year history and going beyond, from the wild and imaginative 60s to a future yet to be discovered. Find out how Hank Pym, Scott Lang and Eric O’Grady have influenced each other’s lives in ways they have never understood, but who will be the newest member of the Ant-astic Four?

Marvel Teases Big Future for Ant-Man in New Series

For fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the fourth panel holds the most allure. There, we see an all-new black and red Ant-Man costume, alongside a text block proclaiming, “The Future”!


You’d expect such language in a series devoted to celebrating a character’s history, and Marvel Comics are certainly no strangers to time travel, but time travel has now become an integral part of the MCU’s version of Ant-Man. In 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, we saw how Lang’s adventures in the Quantum Realm – the dimension he accesses by shrinking to sub-atomic size – allows him to visit the past.


More importantly, we know that the primary villain in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania will be the time-traveling tyrant Kang the Conquerer, played by Jonathan Majors. Even better, MCU chief Kevin Fiege has revealed that Kang will be big-bad for the next few phases of the franchise, filling a hole left by Josh Brolin’s Thanos.


We’ve already seen an aspect of Kang in the MCU, thanks to the Disney+ series Loki. In that show’s first season finale, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the variant Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) discover that the meddlesome Time Variance Authority (TVA) is operated not by a godlike triumvirate called the Time-Keepers, but by a figure known only as He Who Remains, portrayed by Majors.


He Who Remains certainly wields a heavy hand over the multiverse, which is why Sylvie kills him in the final episode of Loki Season one, but he’s not the one to worry about. Before he dies at Sylvie’s hand, He Who Remains warns of his own Variants, one of whom will certainly be Kang the Conqueror.
