Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – MODOK Revealed!
Although Kang is going to be the main villain of the film as well as the prime antagonist of MCU Phase 5 and 6, Ant-Man 3 will see the return of a one major character. Do you remember Yellowjacket aka Darren Cross played by Corey Stoll from Ant-Man (2015)? Apparently, he survived the events of Ant Man and has now joined hands with Kang as he wants revenge against Scott and Pym. As revealed by leaks he will be playing the much anticipated character of MODOK in Quantumania.
MODOK is described as a Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing. He is going to be the second in command to the forces of Kang the Conqueror and he will most probably have a bigger role in the film than Kang as Kang might be saved as the final boss. Also, if plot leaks are something to go by, he will surely make things quite difficult for our heroes. Unfortunately, his first leaked look didn’t showcase much of him and is restricted to a big close up revealing a reddish-purple color scheme with golden bits. But today we have a much better look at him which you can check out in the feature image and the image below!
As you can see above, the official Funko POP figurines from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania reveal the first look of MODOK. You can see for yourself that the MCU version of MODOK has some major changes from the comics. The biggest change you can notice is his golden faceplate, which hints at him being completely mechanical but it is also possible that it’s a mask designed to conceal the man underneath until release. But we know it is going to be Corey Stall thanks to all the hype around it. It is basically common knowledge right now, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
