The theory speculates on if Kang from Quantumania is the main one.

A Reddit user shared an intriguing theory revolving around Kang from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, suggesting that he will be back.

As you may remember, in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Janet met Kang when she first got into the Quantum Realm.

Once she found out who he really was, she stopped his escape plan by enlarging the engine of Kang's ship, leaving him imprisoned in the Quantum Realm, outside time and space.

Later in the film, Kang sends Ant-Man to the core of the engine to make it small again.

The interesting detail about the multiversal warp engine is that it operates based on probabilities and is referred to as a "Schroedinger engine" by MODOK.

This concept becomes evident in a scene involving Ant-Man and the Wasp, where they rapidly generate multiple versions of themselves (variants), stemming from the diverse probabilities existing in different probabilities.

If we assume that the multiple probabilities of Ant-Man and the Wasp, who were generated inside the engine, are variants, this can lead to an intriguing outcome.

The fan speculates: "At the end of the film, Scott defeats Kang by shrinking him inside the multiversal engine. Therefore, we can imagine that Kang (who is certainly not dead) has now found himself together with many copies (variants) of him born of probabilities, inside the engine."

This theory proposes an intriguing notion that suggests Kang possesses the ability to elude the constraints of the engine, along with his variants.

The Quantum Realm, existing beyond the confines of time and space, enables travel not only within a single timeline but also between multiple timelines, as demonstrated in Avengers: Endgame.

So the theory suggests that any future Kang that will cause trouble to the universe, is the same Kang (or his variant) that we've seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

In this case, the Council of Kangs, seen in the post credit scheme of Quantumania, might consist entirely of alternate versions of the original Kang portrayed in the movie, each originating from diverse encounters with the multiversal engine.
