Ant-Man 3 has found its villain. Lovecraft Country star Jonathan Majors has reportedly been tapped by Disney-owned Marvel Studios to appear opposite Paul Rudd in the next Ant-Man movie. Majors is said to play Kang the Conqueror, who is a time-travelling scholar in the comics. Time travel through the quantum realm — the latter was introduced in 2018's Ant-Man and the Wasp — was a big part of Avengers: Endgame, and while it's too soon to say, maybe Ant-Man 3 will continue that thread in a different direction, throwing Kang the Conqueror into the mix.

Marvel could use.

Majors got his first leading role in the 2019 drama The Last Black Man in San Francisco. This year, he starred in Spike Lee's Vietnam-set war drama Da 5 Bloods, and has since been the male lead for the Netflix Western film The Harder They Fall, which also stars Regina King, Zazie Beetz, and Lakeith Stanfield.

Peyton Reed — who directed both 2015's Rick and Morty season 4, and over 200 episodes of the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Rudd returns as Scott Lang / Ant-Man and will be ed by Evangeline Lily as Hope van Dyne / Wasp.

Ant-Man 3 is expected to release in 2022. If that happens, we'll get five Marvel movies in 2022, which seems very unlikely.

Before that, we've Captain Marvel 2 in July 2022.
