ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis spoke to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty writer Jeff Loveness on the Phaze Zero podcast to ask him about both films. Near the end of the interview, the topic turned to Nova, Davis' favorite comic book hero. Since Loveness has written the adventures of both Novas – Richard Rider and Sam Alexander – he was the perfect person to ask about what the key should be to adapt Nova to the MCU.

"Let me just be selfish and base it off of my comic... I think there's something really fun about Sam Alexander getting his dad's helmet. It's very Spielberg movie, very Amblin, you get sucked into this adventure," Loveness said. "I think that's a fun way to take it. Sam Alexander is another Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Kamala Khan age equivalent. There's that trinity in the comics of Nova, Miles Morales, and Kamala... they make a nice little friend group. Rich Rider has that Top Gun energy to him, where he has some Dash Rendar lawman in him, like Justified. He's not a cop, he's not a Green Lantern. At the same time, he's this adventurer out in the cosmos. He's not comfortable being at home, he's like a sailor in that way. Treating Novas like the scouts, or the ones that go the farthest, to use the emptiness of space would be really cool in a Nova movie. You could literally rocket yourself through space. It's just you and the stars."

The only way Marvel can make up for Gr**tf*all is if they get Jeff Loveness to write another Groot solo series. At this point he is the only man I trust with that tree.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a disappointing 31st entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Why? I'm having difficulty pinpointing that. The setting is pretty incredible, with loads of geography and characters that look unlike anything we’ve seen before. That's saying something considering some of the places the Guardians of the Galaxy have taken us. Paul Rudd once again proves himself a charismatic everyman, the action scenes are exciting and occasionally go in some pretty wild places thanks to the shrinking/growing abilities of the lead character… but something feels off.

When Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), his daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton), girlfriend Hope van Dyne/Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), her father Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and mother Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) get sucked into the Quantum Realm, they discover it isn’t empty at all; it’s filled with inhabitants, all of whom live in fear of Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors).

The film’s issue is the story. This is a wild departure from the previous Ant-Man films. It’s closer to a space adventure than anything else, complete with crazy aliens, spaceships, armies of robots (at least I think they were robots) and talks about other dimensions & multiverses. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it just doesn’t feel Ant-Man-like. Aside from his team-ups with the Avengers, none of Scott's adventures have been world-threatening; he’s always felt like “the little guy”, complete with serious, down-to-earth problems like being an ex-con, having trouble finding a job and being estranged from his daughter. This is closer to Guardians territory. The scale of everything encountered in Quantumania should have a much bigger impact on our heroic family. They take it in such strides that there isn't much opportunity for our characters to grow or learn things - except for Cassie, who struggles with some fighting moves. This means the movie is only about two things: the adventure and the villain.

I’ve heard Kang described as a top-tier villain, the one that’s supposed to fill the hole left by Thanos. I don’t know about that. Kang is certainly powerful… but I mean, if they’re pitting him against Ant-Man (no offense), how strong can he REALLY be? I like Jonathan Majors in the role. He brings extra dimension to his character and we see enough of Kang to want more but against a guy that can grow and shrink, he's an ill-fit. It's almost like Ant-Man is a B- to C-tier character that didn't have a great rogues gallery, so they slotted in someone else for the Phase's sake…

There’s another villain in the film: the “I don’t know how we’re going to make this guy work in live-action” M.O.D.O.K. Some of what they do with the Mechanical Organism Designed Only for Killing is inventive. What ultimately happens to the character, however, just doesn’t work. Generally, the comedy in the film is amusing but it’ll give you severe emotional whiplash more than once and when director Peyton Reed and/or writer Jeff Loveness use M.O.D.O.K. humorously, it lands with a resounding "thud".

I’ve been pretty harsh on Ant-Man 3 so far, which makes me a little sad. I was never bored watching it. The climactic battle is fun and Kang's slew of powerful abilities means the stakes are high. The cast is great, with the family dynamics between the in-laws and between Scott & Cassie being the highlights. The picture teems with unique sights, which makes it fun to just watch. You’ve always got a crazy alien, some weird animal, bizarre architecture or something else moving somewhere and their designs show a lot of inventiveness.

I wasn’t crazy about Ant-Man and the Wasp. I’m not crazy about this follow-up either. Actually, this is a step up from the last one. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. This third chapter introduces important concepts and characters to the MCU. There are enough moments that work to make it worth seeing as part of a subscription package, for the price of a rental or even if a discounted ticket at the cinema. When you do, stay through the credits to see what's coming next. (August 11, 2023)

And now it’s time for something I know will get me kicked off of Twitter! lol

While I’m glad to see Marvel moving towards quality over quantity again (if not solely cause Iger put Feige on a leash), I feel like there’s one last thing they need to do; if Marvel is going to employ writers from Rick and Morty, can they please be more selective about which ones they hire?

Yeah, I know that a lot of times, getting writing gigs in Hollywood is based on clout or who you know (a.k.a. nepotism). And yeah, I get that hiring people who worked on a show that deals with multiverse shenanigans on the regular sounds good in theory. The problem is that Marvel hasn’t exactly picked the cream of the crop, have they?

At best, they’re arrogant and idiotic, like Michael Waldron. At worst, they’re obnoxious and immature, like Jessica Gao. Jeff Loveness seems to be the most mature of the bunch, but based on what I’ve heard about Quantumania (which I haven’t seen, yet), he might suffer from “wokeitis” and “tonal whiplash”, you know, the signs of a mediocre writer.

Bottom line, I think Marvel needs to consider a writers credentials before giving them the keys to a specific group of characters. But that’s just me.

Jeff Loveness, writer of Ant Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, reportedly is no longer writing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, per DiscussingFilm’s Twitter.

I don’t normally believe scoopers on first glance, but these people don’t report without there being credence, so... Official???

If true: I sincerely hope he finds his footing elsewhere, but even though I enjoyed Quantumania just fine, I never truly had faith in him to carry an Avengers movie. Whether you liked Quantumania or not, I think we can all agree the writing is almost certainly its worst aspect. And those critic reviews did NOT help the film (not to mention the poor box office return - money talks, y’all. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why he got the boot instead of the movie itself).

This is the right move, if true. Another step in the right direction.

(Now get rid of Waldron from Secret Wars and split it into two movies and I’ll have my full faith in Marvel again.)

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (12): Tedium in a big green screen.

#onemannsmovies review of "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" (2023). #AntMan. Dull and forgettable green-screen romp. 2/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (2023). It says something about the current malaise of the Marvel films that, in prepping to go and see Quantumania, I really struggled to remember anything that happened in “Ant Man and the Wasp“. Even more telling was that when I considered watching it again to remind myself, I decided “No… I can’t be bothered”. Here comes a…
