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. The character was Kind of introduced in last year’s Disney+ series “Loki” – we say “kind of”Because the character featured in the show was actually Kang’s variant, not Kang.
Jonathan Majors, however, is taking the place of Josh Brolin. He will cause havoc for Marvel Cinematic Universe’s favorite heroes as shown by the title of “Avengers 5” – “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.”
What is the Kang Dynasty, who is Kang? Below are the answers to all your questions.
Kang: Who are you?
In 1963, Marvel Comics published Kang the Conqueror’s first appearance in the comics. “Fantastic Four.” That iteration wasn’t quite Kang either, but a variant known as Rama-Tut, while “Kang”In an issue of “The Avengers”1964
He is a time-traveling entity with many past and future lives, making it difficult to identify him. In the comics, he’s most frequently a baddie for the Fantastic Four, so it’s no wonder that Marvel has a “Fantastic Four”Movie to be released in 2024
In the comics biography of the character, he begins as Nathaniel Richards – a descendent of Fantastic Four member Reed Richards – who is doing some research in the 31st century and travels back in time to ancient Egypt, where he becomes known as the pharaoh Rama-Tut. He tries to retreat to the 31st Century after a fight with the Fantastic Four but ends up in 41st Century, where he takes control of the planet and is known as Kang, the Conqueror.
Kang is not a superhuman being, but he is an amazing genius as seen in “Loki”) and utilizes advanced tech to fend off would-be enemies.
How does Kang, the Conqueror fit in the MCU
Jonathan Majors plays Kang in Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Lovecraft Country”And “Da 5 Bloods” fame. Majors made his debut on the Season 1 finale. “Loki,” in which Tom Hiddleston’s character made it to the Citadel at the End of Time and confronted a character named He Who Remains. He Who Remains, a Kang-based variant, explained to Tom Hiddleston that different versions of him discovered alternate universes. They then faced each other, leading to multiversal warfare. He created the TVA (Time Variance Authority), and put an end to the conflict. “Sacred Timeline” which he has watched over for… a long time.
Because he can foresee the past, present and future he can anticipate what’s going to happen and the outcome of each possible action, and he has grown weary. Loki offers Slyvie, Sophie Di Martino, and Loki a choice. He can kill him, which would end the Sacred Timeline. This would also create chaos and a new multiversal war sparked from his variants. Sylvie kills Loki, and Loki is placed in an alternate timeline, where Kang, the Conqueror, is responsible for the TVA. All of this will likely be covered in “Loki”Season 2.
We’ll finally meet Kang in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” which kicks off Marvel’s Phase 5 and will find Kang squaring off with Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly’s heroes. All bets are off after that.
What is it? “The Kang Dynasty?”
“The Kang Dynasty” – the title of the next “Avengers” movie – is also the name of a 16-part “Avengers”Kurt Busiek wrote the storyline, which ran between 2001 and 2002. This storyline saw Kang return from the future to take over Earth. The Avengers were there to stop him.
While Thanos had a goal to wipe out half of the universe’s population, Kang could take control of Earth in the next major. “Avengers” movie.
Will Kang be in “Secret Wars?”
“Avengers 6”Is titled “Secret Wars”The comic is based on an iconic comics run in which all Marvel villains and heroes were transported to a planet called “the battleworld” where they’re forced to fight to the death by a cosmic entity.
The Beyonder is the entity that appears in comics. But, what if “The Kang Dynasty”And “Secret Wars”They are meant to be used together in a two-part Avengers storyline. “Infinity War”And “endgame,”We can safely assume Kang will be the one to transport all the heroes. “the battleworld” – and oh yes, there will be blood.
Keep watching, people. Phase 4 is just the beginning of the next major storyline — “The Multiverse Saga” — in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
