"Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania" faced an uphill battle even before it hit theaters, as the film was met with poor reviews. Those reviews didn’t deter moviegoers from showing up on the opening weekend. Unfortunately, the Marvel film suffered a drastic drop during its second weekend in theaters. Whether the reviews hurt the film is still up for debate, it did affect those involved in the blockbuster production in differing ways. After learning about those poor reviews, the film’s writer shared his honest reaction.

The maligned sequel was written by TV and film writer Jeff Loveness. The film set up what Kang the Conqueror will bring to the MCU. Following "Quantumania’s" release, Loveness has been tasked with writing "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty." So the writer was taken aback by the unfortunate major Rotten Tomatoes score of 47 percent. The "Quantumania" scribe spilled he was surprised by the sequel’s not-so-nice reviews. He recalled his reaction upon seeing the score and reading critics’ thoughts with The Daily Beast.
