Kang the Conqueror becomes the main villain of Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania, and he could carry a very powerful weapon.
Kang the Conqueror’s Most Dangerous Weapon May Have Secretly Appeared in the Trailer for Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania. The infinitesimal microverse of the MCU that is the Quantum Realm has been gradually peeked into the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the ant man movies, with Quantumania set to give it a full reconnaissance. The film also marks the debut of the MCU’s new big bad Kang the Conqueror, with Jonathan Majors playing Kang after appearing as his versatile variant He Who Remains on Disney+’s Loki.
Kang is known as one of the most powerful and feared villains in Marvel Comics, with the powers of time travel and manipulation being only part of his vast abilities. Kang’s tool of the Forever Crystal is one of his greatest comics weapons, and may have been briefly revealed in the Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania trailer (specifically at 1:25.)

Kangs Forever Crystal Explained
The Forever Crystal was originally created by Nathaniel Richards, aka Immortus, the father of Reed Richards (and future self of Kang) who, through time travel into the future, prevents humanity’s eventual conquest of worlds beyond Earth. Nathaniel manages to reduce the entire city of Chronopolis to the Forever Crystal, which brings with it time-changing powers and the ability to eliminate entire universes.
While Immortus uses it to prevent humanity’s eventual conquest of other worlds, the Forever Crystal is a much more sinister tool in the hands of the evil Kang the Conqueror. The brief glimpse of what may be the Forever Crystal in the… Quantumania trailer reveals nothing substantial about his potential role in the film. However, Kang’s presence and the general plot points revealed may be a clue as to how it will play out in Quantumania and the larger Multiverse Saga from stages four through six.
How The Forever Crystal Could Fit In Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania
With the Quantum Realm as the main setting of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, the multiverse powers of the Forever Crystal can be an important part of the film’s story in setting up the Multiverse Saga. The passage of time is radically different in the quantum realm than on Earth, five hours in the quantum realm equates to five years on Earth as revealed by Scott Lang in Avengers: Endgame. Aside from that, it also raises some questions about Kang’s role in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, suggesting that the MCU may be preparing to introduce the Forever Crystal through the Quantum Realm, with such time differences being a key factor in the time travel and the multiverse of the device – travel possibilities. Since Immortus is Kang’s future self, the presence of the Forever Crystal could indicate that Immortus itself could be somewhat reinvented, potentially making the Forever Crystal a tool for escaping the Quantum Realm. The Quantum Realm city itself seen in the trailer could also be the MCU version of Chronopolis, which could indicate that Forever Crystal is still in the early stages of the film.
Given Kang’s much more sinister ambitions, he could pursue Immortus in the Quantum Realm in an attempt to obtain the Forever Crystal, and his goal will likely be far more ruthless than simply escaping the perilous environment of the Quantum Realm. Kang’s offer to Scott of “I can take you home and give you more time if you help memight suggest that the help Kang asks for is in retrieving the Forever Crystal. Kang’s offer may also be related to the possibility that the Forever Crystal is still being assembled, with Kang Scott and his friends passing through to Earth. offers in exchange for their help in preparing Chronopolis to be transformed into the Forever Crystal.Obviously, that offer wouldn’t be a good idea for Scott and his allies, sparking a major conflict between them and Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania. As for the MCU in general, the presence of the Forever Crystal in the film will be just the beginning of Kang the Conqueror’s role in the Multiverse Saga.
