The next Avengers film remains shrouded in mystery and given the various issues that have rocked Marvel, we don’t really know what to expect. At least until today?
Despite the controversy, Marvel doesn’t seem ready to give up on the character of Kang the Conqueror. According to a well-known industry insider, Kang will continue to appear in the Avengers films, although Marvel has officially withdrawn the title Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty for the fifth installment. The move follows the domestic violence conviction last year of Jonathan Majors, the actor who plays Kang.
Avengers 5 makes its choice
Jonathan Majors, known for his role as Kang in the first season of Loki and his appearance in Ant-Man, was rejected by Marvel following his conviction. Since then, the debate has raged over who could replace him. The names Colman Domingo and John David Washington are mentioned as the main candidates.
Despite the controversy, knowledgeable insider Daniel Richtson says Kang will remain the big bad of the Avengers films, with the possibility of having another villain alongside him. These claims spark different reactions from fans. Some speculate about the involvement of other iconic villains such as Annihilus, Galactus or Doctor Doom. Others hope for the return of Jonathan Majors or suggest the introduction of the Beyonder.
Opinions are divided: some fans seem excited by the narrative possibilities, while others express frustration at what they see as utter chaos. The suggestions vary. From asking to bring Thanos back to introducing new antagonists like Beyonder or Doctor Doom.
A plan that no longer changes?
According to available information, Disney presented investors with a schedule for upcoming MCU projects. Listing “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” as the fifth film and “Avengers: Secret Wars” as the sixth. This strategy shows that, despite the challenges, Marvel continues to plan the future of its cinematic universe with Kang in mind.
The situation surrounding Kang in the Marvel Universe is complex, combining legal issues, difficult casting decisions and high fan expectations. Despite the turmoil, Marvel seems determined to continue Kang’s story. It remains to be seen what impact the new directions and casting decisions will have on the future of the franchise.
