![]() The multiverse and branching timelines played a role in Avengers: Endgameīefore we even dive into the events of Loki, we need to backtrack even further to Avengers: Endgame, which introduced the idea of time travel and branching timelines in the MCU. Why are there multiple versions of the same character running around the movie? Who the heck is Jonathan Major’s Kang the Conquerer character and where did he come from? What is the multiverse? The film assumes that its audience has already gotten a download on all of these concepts from other Marvel properties and will likely leave those who have been skipping the MCU’s small-screen offerings befuddled. ![]() Yet the new Ant-Man movie doesn’t spend much time explaining these concepts. So far those movies have largely existed as comic diversions from the main action involving the MCU’s more powerful heroes like Thor and Captain America. That show introduced actor Jonathan Majors as the next big bad in the franchise but also seeded information about branching timelines, variants, and a multiversal war that are essential plot points in Quantumania. Did you do your superhero homework? The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown increasingly demanding of its audience: In order to understand what happens in Marvel’s latest film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quntumania, viewers will have to have watched not only the Ant-Man and Avengers films but also the Marvel TV series on Disney+, particularly Loki.
