In Ant-man 3, a Kang variant - a "time-traveling, multiverse enemy" is trapped in the Quantum Realm. Kang needs Pym Particles to get his ship out of here. To do this, Kang proposes a deal to Ant-man: with the ability to rewrite the timeline, Kang will help Ant-man (Paul Rudd) regain his lost time with his family; In return, Ant-man will find Kang what he needs.

Kang The Conquer was first introduced in the Loki series season 1 (2021) broadcast on Disney+, known as the creator of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) whose job is to rule out any variants that potentially threaten the sacred timeline in the multiverse to ensure that the timeline is kept unilinear (unbranched).

Kang in Loki is recalled by himself as "He Who Remains" - that is, the only Kang left after eliminating all other Kang variants. After "He Who Remains" Kang was killed by the female Loki variant, the TVA collapsed, the universe's timeline began to branch out, and it's possible that many other Kang variants have popped up across the multiverse.

Kang has been described by Loki season 1 lead writer Michael Waldron as the MCU's "next big cross-movie villain", while Ant-man 3's writer Jeff Loveness described Kang as "top-tier, A-list Avengers villain". To build Kang's image in this film, Loveness researched different versions of Kang from DC Comics such as Rama-Tut and Scarlet Centurion and described him as an "infinite snake eating infinite tails" in being "a man literally at war against himself". Director Peyton Reed likened the character to Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and Julius Caesar.

Actor Jonathan Majors who played Kang had to apply a new way of acting for this character in Ant-man 3 because the personality, psychology, and physical appearance of this variant are completely different from Kang in the Loki series that he played before. .

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is scheduled to premiere in Hollywood, Los Angeles on February 6, 2023, and will be released in theaters on February 17, 2023.

PLOT OF WEREWOLF BY NIGHT

Following the death of Ulysses Bloodstone - an "immortal" monster-hunter, five experienced monster hunters, including Jack Russell, are summoned by Ulysses' widow Verussa to the Bloodstone Manor. Here, they participate in a monster hunt and whoever wins will become the new leader and possesses the powerful BloodStone. Ulysses' estranged daughter Elsa also come to join the competition, despite her stepmother Verussa's warnings against doing so.

Their target to slay is a captured octopus-headed monster that had been implanted with Bloodstone. This monster is actually a friend of Russell's, named "Ted", and his goal here is to rescue his friend.

Later, Russell and Elsa work together to both rescue Ted and win the Bloodstone. Russell destroys the outer wall of the maze so they can escape. Ted runs into the forest after Elsa removes the Bloodstone from his body. However, the Bloodstone reacts violently when Russell touches it, indicating that he is also a monster.

Verussa captures Russell and Elsa, places them in a cage, and uses Bloodstone to trigger Russell's transformation into his werewolf form. Instead of killing Elsa as Verussa intended, the werewolf break the cage and kill Verussa's guards.

In the final events, Russell wakes up in the woods in human form with Ted watching over him, and is pleased to know that Elsa is safe. Meanwhile, Elsa becomes the new owner of Bloodstone and the family's Manor and seems to wonder how to deal with it.

THE FUTURE MONSTERVERSE OF MARVEL?

In September 2022, Co-Executive Producer Brian Gay said that Werewolf by Night will begin to explore a variety of monsters that have existed in the MCU for centuries, whose shapes have been hinted at through artworks of monster heads on the wall of Bloodstone Manor.

Gay also explained that the film's ending intentionally causes Russell and Bloodstone to "completely change" into a space of color instead of black and white, as a hint that both will appear in their current timeline of MCU, however this remains uncertain.

Marvel Studio President Kelvin Feige also said this special presentation would introduce a piece of the MCU that is "quite important" to the future of this universe.

Dark Vader catches up with Obi Wan and they have their second duel. This time, it seems that all the Force in Obi Wan has really recovered and the fight between them goes through some dramatic twists, but overall they are of equal strength.

Obi Wan cuts off part of Dark Vader's mask and reveals his disfigured face. He is shocked and saddened by the current state of his former friend and disciple.

No matter how much he hates Obi Wan, Dark Vader still considers him as "Master" and is aware that "Anakin Skywalker died because he killed himself, no other one did that".

Meanwhile, after learning that Luke Skywalker is the son of Dark Vader, Reva manages to go to Owen's house with the purpose of killing the boy as a way of revenge. However, just before taking the fatal action on the boy, she changes her mind in time.

Owen allows Obi Wan to meet Luke - he greets the boy "Hello there". Perhaps the process of training Luke into an outstanding Jedi would begin here.

Who is Qui-Gon Jinn?

At the end of the episode and season, on a journey in the middle of the desert, Obi Wan encounters Qui-Gon Jinn's Ghost Force and it seems that the two will discuss a plan to rebuild their forces to overthrow the Empire.

Qui-Gon Jinn, played by Liam Neeson, is a powerful Jedi Master who is Obi Wan's master and also the one who sees the Force potential within Anakin - then a young slave.

Qui-Gon was mortally wounded during his duel with the Sith Lord Darth Maul. In his final moments, he made Obi-Wan promise to train Anakin. At the end of Revenge of the Sith, Qui-Gon learned how to become a Ghost Force after death, and taught that method to Yoda and later Obi-Wan.

Thanks to Qui-Gon's method, later in the Star Wars sequels, we often meet the Ghost Force of the deceased Jedi such as: Yoda, Obi-Wan, and the next generation Leia and Luke Skywalker.

Will the Obi Wan Kenobi series have Season 2?

The Obi Wan Kenobi series basically focuses on the journey to rescue little Princess Leia, and with it the hateful and painful  encounters between Obi Wan and the Dark Vader more than 10 years after the events of Revenge of the Sith. The story focuses more on Leia than on Luke as many initially surmised.

According to information from Disney, the series set a record as "Most watched TV show on Disney+ in its opening week", on a global scale, throughout the history of Disney+. It's quite a record.

The series is set 10 years before the New Hope (Star Wars: A New Hope - Episode IV), so there would be many topics to explore if it is renewed for season 2. However, so far Disney has made no official confirmation whether there would be a season 2 of Obi Wan Kenobi.

In some interviews, both actors Hayden (Anakin/Dark Vader) and Ewan (Obi Wan) have expressed their willingness to participate if season 2 is to be green-lighted.
