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.
