AntManandtheWaspQuantumania writer Jeff Loveness says his focus was on making one good movie, not the MCU Phases.
Writing one good standalone movie is challenging enough. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness had to do that and deliver a story that fits in the existing MCU while also paving the way for key elements of the franchise moving forward.
LOVENESS: Oh yeah, three come to mind, so humor me there, I suppose. [Laughs] Honestly, getting to work with a talent like Jonathan Majors, it gave you the opportunity to actually go for a classical tortured kind of antihero supervillain with a bit of Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, or to give him that sort of energy. But also, to write a supervillain that wasn't quirky, that wasn't having little off witticisms or little jokes.
So I loved writing Kang the Conqueror as this exiled Napoleon, or a Julius Caesar who had gotten betrayed by 100 Julius Caesars who got rid of him. [Laughs] To have a little bit of a history that we don't know, and have a little bit of a mission and a crusade that we don't know, and there's something that he has to do. There's a war that he's been fighting across time for centuries that he's in the middle of and he's trying so desperately to end.
I think in that Janet and Kang scene there's a lot to dive into and there's a lot that's unsaid, but there's a lot that is said. So that, to me, is perhaps the backstory of like, this Kang the Conqueror is a crusader against himself and the other ones don't like that so much. So, it's Julius Caesar trying to clean up Rome and the Senate's not so pleased about that, and they took action into their own hands as well.
LOVENESS: Yeah. I don’t know. We had gamed out and you're pitching out, you know, in your head as the writer, all the ways it can go. Certainly, you go through all these different scenarios. Yeah, I've seen the same. You know, there’s leaks and there’s rumors. But I think, I don't know, I'm an old-school comic book guy myself, and we're kind of like sports radio fans, you know? Everyone just kind of throws stuff out and has ideas.
