Ant-Man 3popularly titledQuantumaniawill kick off Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2023. Recently the movie trailer was dropped for the fans and undoubtedly Marvel is successful in creating a buzz once again among the fans. As the trailer featured a beautiful view of the Quantum Realm and the main antagonist Kang, the fans are intrigued to spot a shocking reference to past two MCU projects.
The trailer ofAnt-Man 3features circular structures in Kang’s kingdom which highly resemble the 10 Rings we were shown inShang-Chiand even the bangle of Ms. Marvel. Amidst multiple fan theories, it is predicted that the rings of Shang-Chi and the bangle of Kamala Khan can serve as the Infinity Stones-Esque artifact for Kang to collect. But unfortunately, the fans don’t look happy with this theory.
Ant-Man 3 hints at Infinity War 2.0 in the MCU
As already announced,Ant-Man 3is going to introduce Jonathan Majors’ Kang in the cinematic world of MCU. Although Majors was also spotted earlier as ‘He Who Remains’ in theLokiseries, that was a mere variant of the upcoming big baddie of the MCU and was nothing in comparison to what we are going to watch inQuantumaniaandAvengers: Kang Dynasty.
ThePaul Ruddmovie is set to be a very important project in the Multiverse Saga of the MCU. The movie is mainly going to be set in the Quantum Realm and is also expected to show a wide array of new characters besides Kang.

After the release of the trailer, it seemed more evident to the fans as we got major hints aboutShang-ChiandMs. Marvel.The fans quickly pointed out how the circular structures in Kang’s kingdom look exactly like the 10 rings shown in the 2021 movie. And as per the post-credit scene ofShang-Chi, the rings were acting as a beacon and were sending messages to a different dimension.
So the theory states that this other dimension is possibly the Quantum Realm and these rings are showing Kang the location of Earth-616. On the other hand, Ms. Marvel’s Bangle which came from the Noor Dimension can also find a connection here. Sothe time-traveling tyrant is rumored to be on a terrifying journey to find these artifacts in thisMultiverse Sagavery similar to the motive of Thanos inInfinity Saga.

Fans criticize the repetitiveness of The Multiverse Saga
The new theory related to Kang going full Thanos mode is viral since the release of theAnt-Man 3trailer and it can’t be denied that the fandom is entirely divided over this. On one side, some of the fans don’t think it to be a very big issue to use this to set upKang Dynasty.These fans even claim that the journey is going to be completely different. Butanother section is openly criticizing the repetitive nature of the MCU.
So the same plot as Infinity War and Endgame but with Kang and rings instead of Thanos and the Infinity Stones.https://t.co/fGctZjZ2Jo

According to these fans, Marvel Studios is just trying to grab cash by repeating theInfinity Warstoryline with some time travel twist. Even though the studio and the makers of the movie didn’t reveal anything about this connection, the director ofShang-Chi,Destin Daniel Cretton confirmed to headKang Dynastypoints to something like that.

Moreover, this is also largely possible as theSimu Liucharacter already pointed out in the 2021 movie that the Rings can open the gate to a Dark Realm. So the chances are high that the two major items shown in Phase 4 are going to be connected to an even bigger cause than expected. But it will be exciting to watch if they are really the ‘Multiversal Infinity Stones’ or if the rumors of an Infinity Saga 2.0 is simply logicless.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniais set to release on August 02, 2025, whileAvengers: Kang Dynastyis set to release on July 06, 2025.
Shang-Chi and The Ten RingsandMs. Marvelcan be streamed on Disney+.
