Decoding the contract between Ant-Man and the evil Kang in the blockbuster Quantumania 2
Ant-Man Scott Lang will reappear on the big screen through the blockbuster Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania, scheduled to premiere on February 17.
Through the published trailers, in this movie, Scott and his family will accidentally be drawn into the quantum world and get stuck here.

So what exactly was that deal, and why did Scott Lang agree to cooperate with Kang, despite Janet van Dyne’s objections like what happened in the trailers of Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania?
What offer did Kang make to convince Ant-Man to help him?
Since the release of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios has not really had the opportunity to deeply explore Scott Lang’s emotions and life under the impact of Thanos’s infinity snap.
When the infinity snap happened, Scott was traveling in the quantum world and accidentally got stuck in this place.

This is one of the things that always makes Ant Man feel regretful and tormented, even though he still shows himself to be an optimistic person who loves life.
In the released trailers, Kang once shared that he and Scott had both `wasted valuable time` and could `help each other solve that problem`.
The trailers also bring many emotional moments between father and son Scott, shown through Ant-Man’s sad, regretful eyes, especially when he bails out Cassie.
In short, it is likely that Kang promised to help Scott regain the five years he lost and bring him back to the time before Thanos’ snap happened.

With an experienced time traveler like Kang, in theory, he can completely send Ant-Man back to the past to avoid the problem of being stuck in the quantum world and enjoy the 5 years lost inside.
In the MCU, changes in the past have no impact on reality, but will give birth to a new timeline, with a new future.

Besides, even if he avoids being trapped in the quantum world, there’s no guarantee that Scott Lang will be among the lucky ones to avoid Thanos’ infinity snap.
In short, time travel and changing the past is a method with too many risks, which can cause many disturbances and fluctuations in the timeline and Marvel’s multiverse.

The only thing that can help Scott get a `second chance` is being sent to another timeline in the Marvel multiverse thanks to Kang’s power. As the Loki series shows, variations of this evil
Now that He Who Remains has been killed by Sylvie, there is no one left who can stop Kang and his other variants from exploiting the time branching capabilities of the Marvel multiverse.
Of course, this is not an absolutely perfect method.
Regardless of what Kang promises, Scott’s wishes will never come true
Will Kang betray his promise to Scott Lang in Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania?
The trailers for Ant-Man & the Waps: Quantumania have mentioned a lot about the deal between Kang the Conqueror and Scott Lang, including the fact that the deal will never be fulfilled.
The question now is whether Kang can trick Scott and achieve what he wants?
Currently, it is difficult to confirm with certainty what Kang is plotting and planning for Scott and the Marvel multiverse.
