Because let’s face it: while the hero is the one who makes the movie, Villans are the stellar performers, more times than not. They add a much-needed fiery touch to the storyline and add magic to the screenplay.

From their epic screen presence to the villains’ wardrobe collections – everything was thoroughly thought through and worked with, a fact which makes villains an equally essential part of the movie franchise.  So, here, in this blog, learn everything about the villains of the Ant-Man and their precise role in the storyline.

List of the Villans Portrayed in the Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania

Although the movie has not been released yet, there are a few things that we can bet upon, even before the movie releases. There are a few prominent aspects that we have thus far concluded from the trailer, posters and also out the experience of watching the last two parts of Ant-Man.

Ant-Man 3, also known as Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, will feature three villains in the movie. 

• Corey Stoll as MODOK

• Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror

• Bill Murray as Lord Krylar

So, these three people conclude the villain’s cast of the movie. There might be others too, but they would be considered minor villains, while these three names are the prominent bad faces of the movie. 

• Corey Stoll As MODOK

MODOK is not a new name in the world of Marvel. He can be as old as Marvel itself. He first appeared in the comics, and then his role became prominent in the MCU ( marvel cinematic world). MODOK is one of the lethal and deadly characters from the enemy force, as he is the killing machine in a literal sense.

After undergoing mutagenic medical experimentation, the human is turned into a killing machine or Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing, Abbreviated as MODOK.

MODOK first appearance in the Comic dates back to October 1967, while MODOK has not appeared in the MCU world up until now, he has been part of the animated pieces and the games as the unofficial character; the character still holds much depth and adds the quotient of the suspense because it has not been explored thoroughly in terms of the MCU.

Much thought and vision have been given to the concept and design of the character of MODOK, which is precisely what makes it worth anticipating its appearance in the movies.

Origin of MODOK

Initially, the character was a technician at Advanced Idea Mechanics, abbreviated as A.I.M – an agency for investigation and development in the MCU universe. The character was originally known as George Tarleton. MODOK was experimented upon, which turned out to be wrong.

 He joined the A.I.M department to work on a Cosmic Cube but became a part of an experiment that wreaked havoc on his body and turned him into a killing beast, which was not the intent of the experiment. He was supposed to be a device as a computing machine.

There is some difference in how the origin story of George Tarleton is depicted, but the major details remain the same. The purpose for joining the A.I.M has been kept the same – no matter what the differences, that has been kept.

Correy Stoll as MODOK/ Darren Cross

Corey Stoll has been opted for the role of MODOK. However, there is not much that has been revealed through the promo; the Villan’s look and the overall vibe are one thing that captivates much attention, and then the MODOK outfit appearance and Correy Stoll’s portrayal are going to be the note-worthy aspects, too, making the character much believable.

The prior role of Correy Stoll in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been Darren Cross, a.k.a Yellowjacket. Let’s see how the story unfolds further and what we have got in store for us in terms of this character and his much-anticipated role in the storyline.

• Kang the Conqueror

The second villain among the ensemble cast of villains from the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania is Kang the Conqueror – who is also predicted to be the next big villain in the MCU, with his appearance also due in the Avengers: Kang Dynasty installment, which is due to come out in 2025. So, his role becomes crucial not only in Ant-Man but also in his overall projection in the fanbase with his portrayal – which is deemed to be immensely powerful.

The character Kang the conqueror first appeared in October 1963 in the fantastic four comics volume 19. He is considered to be a supervillain and is considered to be one of the biggest and baddest villains of the fantastic four and the Avengers.

Origin of Kang the Conqueror

Nathaniel is Kang the Conqueror. Being a decedent of Mr. Fantastic Reed, who is from the 31st Century, he has brilliant mental capacities and abilities and, in contrast, a deeply eschewed mortality. Although he is considered one of the most major villains, he did not start off as a baddie – rather, an ability that was developed over time after his voyages back and forth in time that impacted his brain and tormented his sense of good and bad.

While his mental abilities are bestowed upon him by his ancestors, his physical abilities are granted to him by the futuristic costume that he wears often. He can use his abilities for defense as well as offense.

Jonathan Major as Kang the Conqueror

Jonathan Major plays the role of Kang the Conqueror. He will appear in the upcoming movie Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantimania. While he has a villain role in the upcoming movie, he will be playing the major roles in the upcoming movies in the MCU world as the prominent villain face in the upcoming few years.

• Lord Krylar

Last but not least, Lord Krylar is going to be the third villain in the movie franchise. The character has not appeared in any of the movies before, so with the Ant-Man, he is going to make the MCU debut, and his avid comic fans cannot be any more joyed than they are now. Lord Krylar is shown to be an ambitious mercenary leader, and he has appeared in the Hulk comic volumes majorly.

Origin of Lord Krylar

Lord Krylar is a green-skinned, giant character who is the inhabitant of the planet K’ai – also known as the world within the sub-atomic dimension called the microverse. After getting popularized, Microverse became a significant realm for the stories of heroes known as Micronauts.

Bill Murray is Playing the Role of Lord Krylar

Although there had been many rumors before the big reveal about the story regarding Lord Krylar and the actor’s role in the movie Bill Murray but, finally, we know that those rumors are not rumors anymore because it has been confirmed by the actor himself that he will be playing the role of Lord Krylar in the upcoming movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Although the character has been part of the comic world, it is the first time that fans are going to witness him portrayed in his full glory in the MCU.
