Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania finds the heroes in the mysterious Quantum Zone. Unfortunately, it expands a huge plot hole in the Ant-Man series.
Though the third installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Ant-Man series, took movie audiences on a wild journey to the Quantum Realm, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania made an existing plot hole worse. Unlike the previous two Ant-Man films, Doctor Strange, and Avengers: Endgame, which only featured a snippet of this tiny universe that exists outside of time and space, Quantumania finally explained the fullness and depth of the MCU's Quantum Realm.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Introduced in 2015's Ant-Man, Pym Particles give a person the ability to shrink to the size of an ant or smaller. Viewers learn that in 1987, Hank's wife, Janet, used the Pym Particles to go subatomic so that she could disarm a Soviet missile headed for the United States.
The MCU's Pym Particle Explanation Makes Accessing The Quantum Realm Impossible While the MCU's idea of a Pym Particle is a great plot device for a superhero film, Hank's Pym Particle explanation is fantasy, thus entering the Quantum Realm would be impossible. Scientifically speaking, the only things smaller than an atom are the subatomic particles that make up an atom, which are protons, neutrons and electrons.
Furthermore, shrinking to subatomic size would cause a person to lose oxygen and immediately die or starve to death because of the change in their metabolism. Technically, Hank, Scott, and family, would need breathing apparatuses and other devices to survive in the Quantum Realm.
