Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian Lad and Marvel just released the 2nd and last official trailer
of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.
Now I have watched the trailer at 0.25x speed and found some amazing hidden details in this
2 minutes 19 seconds trailer.
Now having the luxury of getting some inside information from Marvel, I can tell you unlike
Phase 4, this movie will deliver!
Especially Jonathan Majors!
His big physique in such a gorgeous outfit is not only gonna catch your eye but his performance
is gonna be one to remember!
But for this video, I will only stick to easter eggs and hidden details that I found in the
trailer, I won't dive too much into spoilery stuff!
So without wasting any of your time, I'll just jump straight to
the details.
This trailer opens with voice-over from Kang the Conqueror while the first trailer opens
with Scott's own voice-over.
This immediately establishes the drastic changes between the two trailers in terms of tone
and emotion.
One is from Scott Lang's perspective and this one is entirely from Kang's perspective.
And if you let me stretch this point a lil bit more, notice in the first trailer Scott
appeared all happy and relaxed but in this one, that same footage now gives a different
vibe altogether just because of a different voice-over.
Meaning, with this 2nd trailer we are now able to read between the lines a little bit
more.
Scott even though appears all normal and happy to the general public, but deep down something
is killing him and it is evident through his expression in the 2nd trailer.
Then we see Scott and Hope attending a fancy gala event and as I said in my previous breakdown,
this event is for a General Science Award, which means Hope is probably the one who got
invited and Scott is her plus one.
Then we see Scott getting a phone call from his daughter Cassie, who after Avengers: Endgame
is now a full grown teenager but notice he still uses the same old picture of Cassie
when she was just a kid.
Implying Scott despite having fame and success in his life, still misses seeing his daughter
growing up in front of him!
Scott still didn't get over the fact that he missed 5 years of his daughter's life!
And I think Kang might just use this weakness to use Scott for his own gain.
And Scott might get manipulated for this reason as well, as he desperately wants to lead a
normal life with his daughter!
And I love how this photo is from Ant-Man 1 where Scott gave a very ugly gift to Cassie!
Then we see Cassie getting released from a jail cell and this tells me she might have
winded up becoming some sort of a con-artist just like her father!
And I don't think getting out for misdemeanours is that difficult for her, considering her
step dad is literally a COP!
But the important detail here is that she is following the same footsteps as her father!
Then we see some extended shot of the same scene from Trailer 1 where this Blue Orb sucks
everything inward!
This happens when Cassie was showing off her new tech to the family and something will
go wrong here!
And just like we've seen in the first trailer, Scott Lang keeps shrinking by the second as
he gets sucked by the Quantum Realm.
Onto the next clip:
Then we see
Scott and Kang talking to each other one-on-one.
But this time we get some close-up shots of Kang.
Now notice Kang the Conqueror has these scars on his face, which He Who Remains did not
have.
Implying this version of Kang is a warrior, he goes on quests and conquers.
And I absolutely loved the idea of putting an artificial helmet over Jonathan Major's
face to make him blue instead of painting him all blue.
This way we get both Jonathan Majors the incredible actor and of course a comic-accurate Kang
the Conqueror.
In fact I'd argue that Kang looks more scary with just these blue eyes and Jonathan Majors'
incredible expressions!
And I like the little CGI detail here where the lights around his helmet dims off, a few
moments before he deactivated his helmet.
Well in the comics, artists used to draw a white border around Kang's helmet, so I guess
that's why the VFX team added these extra lights around his helmet to make a clear contrast.
As always, Marvel and its CGI details never fail to impress me!
Then we get yet another close-up shot of Kang and the background pretty much confirms he's
inside the Quantum Realm.
So my theory that I talked about in Trailer 1 breakdown, most of this movie could take
place inside the Quantum Realm and Kang's home city aka Chronopolis is indeed inside
the Quantum Realm.
Now, Chronopolis in the comics, is a multiversal city ruled by Kang the Conqueror.
It is a city beyond time and the center of Kang's conquest.
Now Kang talks about making a deal with Scott.
He says he can grant Scott time if Scott does something for him as well.
Now Kang offering someone more time, that's not surprising!
He literally has power over space and time!
But what could potentially our Scott offer Kang that he can't get himself or his millions
of armies!
And that's where I have a theory!
Perhaps Kang needs some help with the Quantum Realm and only Scott can help him!
Well, not only Scott, I think Janet Van Dyne and Hank Pym both can help Kang achieve his
goal but they won't and they're not easy to manipulate but Scott on the other hand would
love nothing more than to get back the time he missed with his daughter!
So Kang might take advantage of this and use Scott for his own personal benefit.
Then we see Kang walking in Chronopolis and notice there are some very big wormholes throughout
this city.
These are basically portals that someone has to use in order to come here.
And if you remember back in Endgame, the avengers used similar wormholes to go back in time!
Then we see Scott literally getting split into two!
Now I think this is the Quantum Nexus, the center of all time and space.
Where Scott will meet his Multiversal variants.
If you take a closer look, you'll notice they are both conscious and are aware of each other's
presence!
So yes, it's not an illusion, they're real, which only means we are gonna see Quantum
Nexus in the film.
Then comes one of the biggest reveals of the trailer, MODOK!
And a very comic-accurate MODOK!
MODOK is a villain I really thought could never properly be adapted to screen.
Yet, here he is, done to perfection while still maintaining the serious stakes of the
situation.
However, the most comic-accurate design isn't the biggest reveal, it's the floating head
which is none other than Corey Stoll’s Darren Cross!
Yes, the very same one who supposedly died at the end of Ant-Man 1 when he gets sucked
into the Quantum Realm.
But it seems like he didn't die after all, but getting morphed into the Quantum Realm
did however disfigure his whole body, therefore this goofy size and shape!
But it’s entirely possible that this Darren Cross is a Variant and not the same one who
Scott went up against in Ant-Man 1.
Now one attention to detail that I loved and would like to show you lads is that because
MODOK is a floating villain in the comics, notice his tiny legs don't move when he's
walking!
He just simply floats and hovers!
Now if I just rewind back a couple of seconds, notice they all walk through a portal made
out of a cloud-like thingy.
So perhaps this is some place outside the Chronopolis and Kang has essentially brought
Scott here to show him something!
Let's roll the next clip:
Here we see Ant-Man falling towards the surface but the surroundings look like beings that
are alive.
Now judging by the design and pattern here, this looks like the place Kang was showing
Scott in the previous scene.
So maybe whatever Kang needs is inside here, and that's why Ant-Man is going towards it.
We see Hank, Janet and Hope surfing through a giant Stingray.
And then comes this epic shot where millions of Ant-Man Variants make up a ladder for our
Ant-Man to climb up and reach where he needs to go!
This is exactly how Ants behave in real life and I was smiling ear to ear when I saw them
doing this in live-action!
Scott Lang will be more "Ant"-Man in this film than ever before!
And I like how the background visually resembles a group of Ants but when we see them up-close,
it's all Ant-Man Variants.
We then see a shot of Kang from behind as he's looking towards Chronopolis.
But notice there are debris all over the floor and even this Ringed shape throne is damaged!
And if I zoom in and slow down the playback, notice Kang's spaceships are getting attacked
and destroyed!
Meaning a fight will definitely take place over here.
And then of course the title card says "Witness the beginning of a New Dynasty" which is a
direct reference to Avengers: Kang Dynasty!
Implying this movie will indeed plant the seed for Avengers 5 and will be as crucial
to the remainder of the MCU as Captain America: Civil War was!
Onto the next clip..
Here we see Scott and Cassie both running together.
But if I put this scene side by side with the previous trailer, notice how many changes
they've made in the 2nd trailer!
In the first trailer we didn't really know who is shooting at them, but in this one we
do!
And there were no Quantum Realm locals in the scene, but now they have added some civilians!
Not only that, they have changed the whole background behind them and made it much more
realistic!
Then we see a scene where Cassie is held hostage by Kang's henchmen.
Then we see this scene where Scott looks at multiple variants of himself and one literally
comes out of him!
But notice the one that just emerged from Scott himself, immediately activates his helmet.
And if you notice in the next shot, a new variant comes out of Scott again and puts
on his helmet.
And by going frame by frame multiple times for 1 hour straight, I've come to the conclusion
that this was a deliberate choice from the VFX team.
All variants of Scott Lang have their helmet on except for himself, this has been done
to help the audience distinguish between our Scott Lang and all the variants.
The VFX team did something similar in Avengers: Endgame as well where they put Cap's helmet
back on, so we know which Steve is which at all times.
But now the question is why are so many Ant-Man variants appearing here literally from one
another?
And my theory is each decision that Scott makes here, creates a branch in reality and
gives birth to a new timeline.
And because this is the Quantum Nexus, that's why we are able to visually see them.
But notice how Scott's only focus is on this Giant version and he screams as soon as this
Giant variant rips himself apart!
Lemme know what you lads think about this though, why is Scott only focused on this
Giant variant and not anyone else!
Then we see Cassie making a jump wearing her full costume.
We see an explosion but not sure what caused it exactly but notice it has a similar background
as the one where Scott and Cassie were running together.
Cut to MODOK who is in his full armor and boy does it look good eh!
Notice he also has a vital signs screen in the middle of his body, indicating he's half
human and half robot!
And the fact that MODOK looks this good in the film, I really hope he's not gonna die
in it.
He's a great villain and the longer he stays alive, the more chaos!
Kang is a clear villain at all times, but for MODOK who is so clever and analytical,
you'll never see him coming!
He could be your friend and try to kill you at the same time!
Then we see a massive hand to hand combat between Kang and Scott.
Kang is even bleeding from his right arm, as his right hand armor is completely gone!
I like how Kang's face and his whole body are perfectly intact but it's only his right
arm that took the hit!
And notice when he kicks, he aims it towards Scott's helmet and when he throws a punch,
he again aims on Scott's face!
He really knows where to hit and cause the most damage!
This already tells me the action choreography in this film is gonna be epic!
Now notice just before Kang kicks Scott's face, the debris on the floor looks very similar
to what we've seen in the trailer previously.
Meaning, this is Kang looking outside just before this whole hand to hand fight takes
place!
Because here his right hand armor is still perfect.
And remember I told you Kang's ships are getting ambushed in the background?
Well, notice if you look closely through Scott's lenses, we can see a spaceship exploding in
this scene as well.
So yes, these are all shots from the same scene.
Cut to the next clip...
Scott gets rid of his helmet as it's totally destroyed because of Kang's kick!
This also goes to show just how powerful Kang is even without any weapon!
And then Scott says one of the most iconic lines in the MCU "I don't have to win, we
just both have to lose."
But notice when he says it, we can actually see a few cracks in reality!
Just like we've seen in the first trailer!
Meaning, Hope will be here as well and might end up saving Scott from Kang, or they both
might get killed, I don't know!
And also notice as soon Scott said "we just both have to lose", all hell breaks loose
in the trailer!
The ladder that all the variants had made up for him starts falling apart and he starts
drowning in the midst of his own variants!
And the last shot of the trailer shows Kang with his full armor blasting a blue energy!
But notice there's a very interesting hidden detail here!
As Kang gets angry and generates power to blast his enemy, even the scars on his face
light up just like his helmet!
Well, I initially thought that's probably just the reflection of this blue energy but
if I go back a few frames, notice even then his scars appear all blue!
And I love the animation on his suit when he charges up to shoot a blast from his bare
hands!
I love Jonathan Majors as an actor and the fact that they managed to make him look even
cooler, I just can't wait for this movie to come out now!
These are pretty much all the hidden details and easter eggs I've managed to find in this
brand new trailer.
