There are a few notable deaths in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, but who dies in Ant-Man 3? Needless to say, spoilers are ahead!

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania hit theaters on Feb. 16 ahead of its wider release and there is a lot to love about the third film in the Ant-Man franchise. The film does an amazing job of keeping the humor that helped fans first fall in love with the characters, but there is no denying that the third film in the franchise pushes our heroes in ways the previous films did not by putting them up against what might be the most ruthless adversary yet.

From the moment we saw our first glimpse of the film via the promotional materials for the film, it was clear this Ant-Man movie would be unlike anything before it. It was also clear the film would be raising the stakes in new ways, which is why it’s only fitting that the movie incorporated some shocking deaths that fans likely never saw coming!

Warning, if you’re hoping to avoid any sort of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania spoilers before seeing the film you might want to bookmark this piece for after you’ve seen the film! Major Ant-Man 3 spoilers ahead.

Does Ant-Man die in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania?

Although Scott Lang finds himself in a few precarious positions across Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Ant-Man does not die in the film. Instead, he’s very much alive as the movie comes to a close, hinting that we haven’t seen the last of Ant-Man in the MCU.

Does The Wasp die in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania?

Much like Scott, Hope Van Dyne finds herself in more than a few binds across the newest Ant-Man film but fear not fans! Hope does not die in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and lives to fight another day, which is a good thing for the Avengers as they’re going to need every asset they can find to stop the threat brewing in the Multiverse.

Does Cassie die in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania?

Upon being captured by Kang, it’s clear he will have no hesitation in killing Cassie in order to get what he wants. While he at first promises not to kill her, when Ant-Man begins fighting back, he sticks MODOK on Cassie with the mission to kill her. Fortunately, Cassie is able to outwit MODOK and even convinces him to join their fight against Kang in the end.

Does Hank die in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania?

Things don’t look good for Hank when his ship crashes to the ground during a battle with Kang, but Hank is one resilient man! With help from his ants, Hank makes it out of the Quantum Realm alive and does not die within the film.

Does Janet die in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania?

Janet Van Dyne managed to escape the Quantum Realm once and she does it a second time in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. That’s right, despite finding herself in the line of fire on a few occasions, Janet does not die in the film!

It never pays to be a villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a lesson MODOK learns firsthand in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. In an unexpected reveal, the MODOK of the MCU ends up being Darren Cross, who was thought to be lost in the Quantum Realm following his battle with Scott back in Ant-Man. Upon being banished to the Quantum Realm, Darren was found by and transformed into MODOK: Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing, aka Kang’s personal assassin.

MODOK basically serves as Kang’s loyal subject across the film, right up until the final battle which is when Cassie manages to convince him that it’s never too late to stop being a dick. This gives him the inspiration needed to fight alongside Cassie and her family against Kang. Sadly, in doing so, MODOK is killed by Kang allowing him to die a hero’s death as an “Avenger.”

Does Kang die in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania?

Although Jonathan Majors is set to play a larger role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following  Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, his character Kang the Conqueror does indeed die within the film during the final battle with Ant-Man and the Wasp. After Janet, Hank, Hope, and Cassie manage to make it back home safely with help from Kang’s Timesphere engine, Scott is held back leading to an intense hand-to-hand battle between him and Kang.

Just as it looks like Kang is going to kill Scott, Hope returns to the Quantum Realm via the portal fueled by the device and helps Scott finally put an end to Kang. During their final battle, Kang is seemingly vaporized by the Timesphere engine — thus killing the Kang variant who serves as the key foil of the film.
