Since I learnt that Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania might be essential prior viewing for Loki Season 2, despite that film getting bad reviews, I planned to watch it but put it off. Now Loki Season 2 is out but I still haven’t seen Quantumania.

Is it impermissible to just skip the movie? I also only watched half of Multiverse of Madness. Does it matter? I just want to see Loki

    not yet. only one episode in though. I wondered how they’re going to play Kang in this series.

    I don’t know yet, the first episode of Loki 2 happens right after the end of the first season. If you want to know more about He Who Remains, you might want to watch it, but I doubt it will be a must.

    Not at all. If anything, the events of Quantumania might be said to take place after Loki, or adjacent to it in some timely wimey way. They don’t have any causal impact on Loki.

    Mild spoilers: during the multiversal war referred to by He Who Remains in Loki season 1, the Kang variant known as The Conqueror was sealed away in the Quantum Realm by the other Kang variants. Presumably, the other Kangs were then sealed away somewhere (at the end of time?) by He Who Remains. The outcome of the movie implies that perhaps things will be different going forward, but in what way we won’t find out until a future installment.

    If the Loki show follows up that particular lead, it will undoubtedly do so in a way that is self contained and won’t require anyone to have seen Quantumania.
