For a movie that was supposed to be the start of Marvel's next big overarching storyline, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania isn't exactly remembered fondly. Among the many complaints from fans is the portrayal of the classic Marvel villain MODOK, revealed in-film to be a distortion of Ant-Man's first nemesis, Yellowjacket, who was played by Corey Stoll. However, a recent reveal from a Marvel insider revealed that the plans for MODOK were, at one time, very different from what we saw on screen.

And a whole lot darker, as well.

The insider in question is Constantine Sekeris, a visual artist whose Marvel credits include films like Black Panther, Avengers: Endgame, Deadpool & Wolverine, and more. Last November, Sekeris took to his Facebook page to reveal his design for the Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing, and, well, you'll just have to take a look for yourself to understand how cool the designs are.

"[I'm] posting today some very early design exploration on Modok from Antman and the Wasp Quantumania," read the artist's post. "I was working at Marvel Studios at that time in Vis Dev …..Andy Park lead this project and he very kind to bring on board his very talented team……Andy allowed me to do some early exploration designs on Modok and what a fun character to bring to life……u can see in these renders showing him with his weapons out in attack mode and also retracted back into his body."

One quick note before we leave you, though - even though MCU fans were generally unhappy with how the final MODOK turned out, Sekeris himself, for one, praised the work that went into it.

"Everyone on board did stunning design work on him," concludes the post, "The talented @anthonyfrancisco ended up with final design in the film….always a pleasure to work on such amazing projects and humbled by all the great work by the team."

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is streaming on Disney+ now.
