Phase Zero hosted a key member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s family in Wednesday’s episode when Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness joined the podcast. Loveness’ resumé before Quantumania included an appearance in The Office, scripts for Rick & Morty, and several titles with Marvel Comics including Nova and Spider-Man books. Currently, Loveness is hard at work on the script for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. The extended interview is packed into the second half of the new Phase Zero episode, following a series of updates for Daredevil: Born Again, Deadpool 3, Thunderbolts. and Marvel’s place at Disney Parks.
“Peyton [Reed] wanted it to be this kind of tonal shift in this Ant-Man, Quantum Realm adventure,” Loveness explained at the top of the show. “And Kang the Conqueror and MODOK were on the table. That was basically it, if I remember correctly. And so the rest was forging, ‘Okay, what’s your take on Kang? How can he possibly go up against Ant-Man? What’s his situation? How is he different potentially, where could this guy go but really focus on this movie right now? What are the dynamics at play? What’s the Janet of it all?’ And I think the movie came together when I realized, ‘Oh, Janet and Kang should have a history. There’s a reason she doesn’t tell anyone about this place. She’s like a spy that had to bury terrible things that they did in the Cold War and never talk about even if it’s a problem,’ or really you give her that sort of a history of violence quality.”
