Yes, it appears Strange could be an unexpected antagonist in the MCU moving forward, with Strange likely blamed for the many incursions that are taking place across the Multiverse. Remember, Kang is attempting to stop those by wiping out divergent timelines, presumably to protect the one he calls home.
Will Doctor Strange appear in Avengers Kang Dynasty?
Cast: Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror
Other MCU heavyweights expected to appear include Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), and Tom Holland (Spider-Man).
In spite of Kang not making a surprise cameo in Doctor Strange 2, there was speculation that the villain was secretly pulling Wanda's strings. However, there was no evidence of Kang's involvement in the movie itself.
Kang the Conqueror and his many variants have been getting set up to face off against the MCU's heroes in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but recent reports and events make it seem possible that Kang may still be replaced as the saga's big bad.
Shang-Chi might be the most important hero in the Multiverse Saga. He was the first new solo hero in the entire Multiverse Saga and the director of his film, Destin Daniel Cretton, will direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. That makes Shang-Chi's inclusion in the film the closest thing to a sure thing.
Because of his understanding of time travel, the theory states, Kang is fearful that Iron Man could take him down. It is possible that He Who Remains set up the flow of time in a way that Tony Stark died while fighting Thanos, giving Kang the opportunity time to invade.
Now, with two crossover events coming to close the Multiverse Saga – Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars –, it's unlikely Bruce Banner/Hulk won't join the battle, and as the MCU's heroes will need all the help they can get, Red Hulk, She-Hulk, Abomination, and Skaar could also appear, and so either (or ...
Kang has arrived. At Comic-Con 2022, Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige made official what many fans had been theorizing for some time: Kang the Conqueror is the MCU's next Thanos-like villain.
Robert Downey Jr. confirmed that Iron Man 4 is indeed in the works. While negotiations continue for his return, this would mark his 7th appearance in a standalone Marvel movie and his 9th outing as Tony Stark in total.
Summary. Spider-Man's role in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will be his most dangerous yet due to the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The Avengers will no longer be aware of Spider-Man's age or history as a teen superhero, impacting their interactions with him in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Kang is very easily more powerful than Doctor Strange, considering that a variant of him has overtaken every single universe, as is revealed in episode six of Loki (and somehow not at all addressed in Spider-Man: No Way Home).
Why Sylvie Kills Kang. Sylvie's decision to kill the Kang variant He Who Remains is perhaps the single most important event that takes place in Loki episode 6 - as it allows the iconic Marvel villain to replace him in the timeline, and results in the multiverse once again forming in the MCU.
Why Kang would beat Thanos. Kang isn't physically stronger than Thanos, and if the two were to square up in a one-vs-one fight then the Titan would arguably win. However, Kang's knowledge of the multiverse means that would quite literally be several steps ahead of Thanos at all times. As a result, Kang wins this battle ...
However, because the film is touted as an Avengers team-up, there will likely be appearances from Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), among others.
Summary. The Scarlet Witch's unique abilities make her a vital asset in the Avengers' battle against Kang. As a potential nexus being, Wanda Maximoff can affect probabilities and timelines. Scarlet Witch playing a key role in defeating Kang, can begin her redemption.
Summary. Rhodey, aka War Machine, is confirmed as the ideal replacement for Iron Man in the upcoming Armor Wars, as his characterization now mirrors Stark's. Rhodey's reveal as a Skrull impostor adds a layer of trauma and parallel to Tony Stark's origin story, making him a compelling successor to Iron Man.
Chris Evans Says 'No One's Spoken to Me' About Returning as Captain America for Future Marvel Movies. Jack Smart is the Movies Staff Writer at PEOPLE. With 10 years of experience as an entertainment journalist, he previously worked at The A.V.
Marvel Studios, in a surprising revelation, has confirmed the return of the formidable Thanos in the upcoming Season 2 of the animated series What If...?, set to debut on Disney+ on December 22.
Galactus was killed by Thor during the "Herald of Thunder" story arc in Thor (vol. 6) #1–6 (March–August 2020), and reappeared after a two-year hiatus in Fantastic Four (vol. 6) #45 (July 2022)—the final issue of the event "Reckoning War"—where Galactus is resurrected by his former heralds.
The ruler of Warworld, Mongul, isn't usually the villain that gets compared to Thanos the Mad Titan, but he's arguably a closer match than Darkseid. The DC Universe's version of Marvel's Thanos is a lower-tier villain than Darkseid, called Mongul.
If the two were to fight, it's difficult to tell who would be the victor. Kang is a brilliant schemer with a myriad selection of powerful and destructive technologies, but the Ghost Rider is a force of nature that is quite hard to put down.
The X-Men won't be in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, according to film scribe Jeff Loveness. After his first foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania, Loveness continues his work in the franchise by writing its next big culminating event.
The next Avengers movie - Avengers: The Kang Dynasty has been delayed to May 1, 2026. Meanwhile, Deadpool 3 will release earlier than its initial release date on May 3, 2024.
The Avengers valiantly fought against him, but Kang slowly but surely gained control of the dimension, even incinerating Washington D.C. completely and massacring millions. For a brief time, the heroes had no choice but to surrender, meaning Kang had finally won.
