No. Antares is 883 times the diameter of the sun, which makes it one of the largest stars by the amount of space it takes up. But, Antares is only 15 times the weight of our sun. A star has to be somewhere around 100-300 times heavier to go hypernova. So while it's quite large, unfortunately (or fortunately since it is so close to Earth) it isn't dense enough to go hypernova.

It is not expected for the star Antares to hypernova. Antares is a red supergiant star, and when it reaches the end of its life cycle, it is more likely to undergo a supernova event rather than a hypernova.

How many stars does antares have?

Antares (Alpha Scorpii) is a huge red hypergiant star, with a radius 800 times that of our own sun. There are some bigger stars though, such as Betelgeuse (1180 solar radii) and V354 Cephei (1520 solar radii), but the biggest known star is VY Canis Majoris, which is estimated to have a diameter between 1800 and 2100 times that of our own sun. If it were in the centre of our solar system its edges would almost reach the orbit of Saturn.
