At this stage, it's been pretty much confirmed that Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness is no longer penning Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Various scoopers have claimed Michael Waldron, who wrote Loki season 1 and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is said to have been similarly removed from Avengers: Secret Wars, but one of Loki's executive producers has today said otherwise. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Kevin Wright dropped the reveal after being asked whether Jonathan Majors' legal issues changed anything we saw in the finale.
"No, nothing affected our finale," he confirmed. "I think I said elsewhere earlier when the show was first coming out, the story that is on screen is the one that we set out to make remarkably so no one was coming down telling us we had to connect or set up anything for the future. It was sort of finish our story that we started."
"As far as where it's all going, I can't say and not because I am being coy, we're not a part of those projects," Wright said in regards to the next Avengers movies. "What I would say is, I mean, I know Michael Waldron is working on them and he loves obviously this world as he helped create it."
"And no, I mean the threat that we establish at the end of this is Multiversal war will come. Sylvie is just saying, 'Let us have a chance.' So I hope that people continue to run with that because I would love to see what that story is."
This is the first we've heard about Waldron working on The Kang Dynasty, though we perhaps shouldn't be surprised after Marvel Studios and Disney were impressed enough by his MCU work to sign the writer to a lucrative overall deal. That was once going to include a Star Wars movie, though Kevin Feige recently confirmed it's no longer happening.
Wright may be working on outdated information, of course, and it's possible Waldron is just shaping the stories - given his past Multiverse experience - before other screenwriters come in to expand on that.
Then again, he might just be the sole credited writer on both Avengers movies!
We'll have to wait and see. What we do know is Marvel Studios is currently making some sweeping changes to the Multiverse Saga following a mixed response from fans to recent projects and Majors' ongoing legal issues.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 1, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars set to follow on May 7, 2027.
