Phase 3 Destroyed the MCU"s Best Defense Against Kang The Conqueror
Warning: Spoilers Below for Ant-Man & the Wasp: QuantumaniaThe time-manipulating villain Kang the Conqueror is introduced in Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania, but the perfect tool to combat him has already been destroyed. Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and his closest allies embark on their most harrowing adventure yet in Quantumania, inadvertently shrinking themselves down and entering the tiny world that is the Quantum Realm. In doing so, they come up against Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors), who is intent on wiping out entire timelines throughout the multiverse.
Majors previously portrayed a Kang variant known as He Who Remains on Disney+'s Loki, with Kang set to become the next Thanos in the MCU's Phases 5 and 6 (dubbed, alongside Phase 4, as the Multiverse Saga.) Kang's powers of time-travel and his goals to eliminate different timelines make him arguably an even greater threat than Thanos, which would make the Time Stone an invaluable tool for the MCU's heroes to fight him with. Unfortunately, that option is no longer on the table for them.
