Did You Catch The The Council of Kangs In The Post Credits Of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania?

By far, the most talked-about Easter eggs in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” can be found in the post-credits scenes, the first of which makes good on the promise that now two different variants have made. In “Loki,”He Who Remains warned that if Sylvie chose to kill him, the void of his absence would be filled by something much worse — more Kangs. When Ant-Man, the Wasp, and a suited-up Cassie try to conquer the Conqueror, he too suggests that the multiverse is a more stable place under his thumb than it would be in the midst of all-out multiversal war. It sure seems like Scott and Hope killed the Kang imprisoned in the Quantum Realm, and in the mid-credits stinger, an arena full of Kangs reacts to the news.

This is the Council of Kangs, a massive group that assembles in the comics to deal with problem variants. The storyline unfolds in “Avengers” #267 to #269. The final shot of the mid-credits stinger is a faithful recreation of an especially creepy panel from The Council of Cross-Time Kangs, which isn’t exactly the same thing as the Council of Kangs. An Interdimensional Council of Reeds would follow in “Fantastic Four” #570, and famously, “Rick and Morty” would ape the idea with the Council of Ricks. “Rick and Morty” writer Jeff Loveness wrote the script for “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and is currently slated to pen the upcoming “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” for Marvel Studios.
