In preparation for the new film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Marvel Studios: Legends has released three episodes associated with the film.

The three new episodes will kick off season 2, covering content from Phase Five of the MCU. Along with Phases Four and Six, Phase Five is part of the Multiverse Saga, which started with 2021’s Black Widow.

In Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Scott Lang (Ant-Man) and Van Dyne (The Wasp), along with their families, get transported to the Quantum Realm in which they face off against Kang the Conqueror, embodied by Jonathan Majors.
