Kang & Janet Romance Teased By Ant-Man: Quantumania Writer

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness teases the movie’s implied romance between Kang the Conqueror and Janet van Dyne.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania showed that Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror and Michele Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne spent a good deal of time together in the Quantum Realm, and the movie’s writer teases a possible romance might have come from that. The characters were some of the movie’s standouts, with both Majors and Pfeiffer delivering thrilling performances throughout Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. While it was revealed that Janet had a past flame in Bill Murray’s Krylar, it appears that something might have happened between Kang and Janet during their time in the Quantum Realm.

Speaking with IGN, Jeff Loveness — the movie’s writer — teased the duo’s romance after Kang and Janet managed to survive in the Quantum Realm for a time together. According to the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania scribe, his intention with the script was to let audiences make their own conclusions on how close Kang and Janet actually were during the time they spent together in the Quantum Realm. However, he did tease the romance, laughing about the duo being “very good friends” and saying, “maybe they had sex.” Check out the full quote below:

I intentionally left it a little vague, but clearly – let’s say they’re very good friends [laughs]. And I think sometimes we’re in kind of this YouTube reaction video world where everyone wants every little detail explained. And I don’t think I ascribe to that. I think there’s a magic in what is unsaid and what is not explicitly said.” (…) “But yeah, maybe they had sex. Who knows?

How Kang & Janet May Meet Again In Avengers: The Kang Dynasty

The fact that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania writer Loveness is the man in charge of charting 2025’s Avengers: The Kang Dynasty bodes well for the Ant-Man family’s role in the movie, setting up the next project in Paul Rudd’s MCU future, and heightening the chances of Kang and Janet meeting again. It was clear that the duo had some unresolved issues during Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, with the characters never properly addressing those grievances by themselves, and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty presents a golden chance to resolve that.

There are two ways a reunion between Kang and Janet could go in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. A peaceful encounter between the characters seems out of the question after Kang had his plans of escaping the Quantum Realm with his army and dominating the multiverse destroyed by Janet, Scott, and the rest of the family in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Janet van Dyne and Kang did work together once, but that past is long gone, and their possible reunion can only end in one way: death.

One of the two characters is likely going to meet their end should they meet again in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Loveness did a great job building up the tension between the duo in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and with their next possible encounter being on such a big stage like the Avengers movies are, it would make sense for Kang to either kill Janet — sending the Ant-Man family and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes into mourning — or for Janet to deliver the final blow to the villain, completing her Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania arc, and stopping Kang’s multiverse war.
