Summary of the film
In the film, which officially kicks off phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Super-Hero partners Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp. Together, with Hope’s parents Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible. Jonathan Majors joins the adventure as Kang. (Marvel official website)

Egyptomania narratives or motifs
In the first mid-credit cut scene, the audience views the Council of Kangs, a meeting of all the Kang variants of the multiverse (variants are alternate versions of a character that come from alternate timelines; this concept was introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the miniseries Loki). The scene then pans to a group of three Kangs, one of which is dressed in Egyptianizing clothing, including a kilt, arm bands, pectoral collar, and nemes headdress. This is a figure previously only seen in the comics, known as Rama-Tut, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh variant of the Kang character. In the cut scene, the character’s name is not shared, but the viewer immediately understands that he has some connection with Egypt due to his clothing.
