Marvel Shows How Dangerous The Quantum Realm Really Is

Marvel Cinematic Universe if there was a zombie outbreak that turned the world’s superheroes into zombies, and through this story, the MCU also showed how dangerous the Quantum Realm really is. In over a decade, the MCU has brought a variety of characters from Marvel Comics to the big screen, along with important events, concepts, planets, realms, and more, and one that is still a mystery to both characters in this universe and the audience is the Quantum Realm. This is a confirmed dimension in the multiverse, and as the MCU’s Phase 4 is focusing heavily on the multiverse, there’s a lot more to learn about the Quantum Realm, and What If…? has teased some of its dangers.

Of course, to travel to this dimension, special equipment is required, but as seen in What If…?, not even that would be enough to stop a virus from infecting a person.

If the Quantum Realm can house a “quantum virus” that “corrupts the brain” and turns a person into a zombie, it can also be a source of other, unknown, unfathomable threats, worse than a virus that triggers the zombie apocalypse. The Quantum Realm will be further explored in What If…? has served as a good tease of bigger and more exciting things in the MCU, and hopefully, this universe won’t forget about the potential dangers of the Quantum Realm.
