In the Marvel film Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors, is a formidable villain. Banished to the Quantum Realm by other Kang Variants for his aggression, Majors’ character seeks to escape and continue his conquests. The movie’s design of Kang is heavily inspired by the comics, which has been well-received by fans.

Unveiling Alternate Kang The Conqueror Designs

Artists from the film have shared their work on social media, revealing concept art from the development phase of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Aleksi Briclot’s early concept art of Kang, created before Jonathan Majors’ casting, showcases a more sinister version of the character with intense, unsettling eyes.

Pietro Nume painted keyframes of Kang veiled in shadows with glowing eyes and another of him on the offensive. Production designer Will Htay also shared Nume’s epic depiction of Kang descending to battle Quantum forces. Additionally, concept artist Thomas du Crest illustrated Kang during the climactic battle and in his damaged time chair.

Kang the Conqueror’s Growing Role In The MCU

Marvel Studios has plans to make Kang the Conqueror a significant antagonist in the MCU. The character’s power is displayed in Quantumania, particularly after regaining his advanced suit in a flashback sequence. The suit bestows him with abilities such as gravity manipulation and energy blasts. The movie’s mid-credits scene also reveals numerous Kang Variants intent on wreaking havoc, and the second season of Loki will introduce a dangerous Kang called Victor Timely. With a plethora of Kang designs available, it remains to be seen if the creepy early concept art will ever appear on screen.
