As a gamer who has been following the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for years, this latest twist has left me both intrigued and bewildered. The prospect of Doctor Doom taking center stage in the next Avengers movie is exciting, but the sudden shift away from Kang leaves me with a sense of unfulfilled anticipation.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a well-oiled machine, one that is constantly expanding thanks to projects hitting theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Those of us who have spent years watching the Marvel movies in order know that the studio was setting up Kang to be the next Thanos-level threat to the MCU. But Jonathan Majors’ firing threw a wrench into those plans, and now the next Avengers movie will be titled Doomsday and centered around Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. And a wild new rumor indicates how the MCU will reportedly move on from Kang.
The available information on Avengers: Doomsday suggests that Kang may no longer be the main antagonist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This speculation arose following Majors’ public legal troubles, and recent gossip from CBM hints that the plan to rewrite Kang’s role could involve his absence altogether.
According to recent reports, an upcoming Marvel film will show that the Time Variance Authority managed to eliminate Kang’s alternate selves before they could join forces and initiate a devastating multiversal conflict – at least, this is what the rumors suggest. It appears that the credits scene in Ant-Man 3, which hinted at multiple variants, was merely an unfulfilled storyline. However, take these reports with a grain of salt.
It’s wise to approach this report with some skepticism for now, until we hear confirmation from Marvel Studios. However, it’s been rumored that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will be the main antagonist in the next two Avengers films, directed by the Russo Brothers. But given that The Kang Dynasty has been renamed to Doomsday, it seems possible that the MCU could be shifting away from the multiversal villain as a character or storyline.
Handling Kang off-screen during filming would undoubtedly be a daring move, given that his character has been significantly developed over two seasons of Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Following Jonathan Majors’ legal troubles gaining widespread attention, some viewers speculated that Marvel might replace him with another actor to carry on the Kang narrative. Since the concept of variants suggests a potential shift in appearance, this swap seemed plausible. However, recent developments hint that the MCU may choose to bypass any resolution to the Kang storyline altogether.
It’s quite possible that the news of Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Marvel’s villain Doctor Doom could be so thrilling that fans might overlook the fact that Kang is no longer a part of the storyline. Until the studio officially confirms or there are some hints about Kang’s future in the shared universe through exposition, we can only speculate.
Upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, titled “Captain America: A New World“, will be released in theaters on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. In the meantime, take a look at the scheduled release dates for movies in 2025.
