ANT-MAN 3 Writer Jeff Loveness Reportedly "Off" AVENGERS: THE KANG DYNASTY

Well, this is sure to drum up some conversation! According to a reliable source, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness will no longer pen the script for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty...

Though we don't have very much to go on, we're hearing that Marvel Studios may be searching for a new writer for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

According to The Hot Mic's Jeff Sneider, Jeff Loveness - who was enlisted to pen the next instalment of the superhero team-up franchise shortly after delivering his script for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - of "off" the project, and he parted ways with the movie before the WGA strike.

We have no idea what led to Loveness leaving The Kang Dynasty, but there's a decent chance Quantumania underperforming did have at least something to do with it. While the threequel wasn't the major flop it tends to be portrayed as, it definitely couldn't be considered a hit (it also became just the second ever "Rotten" MCU movie after a negative critical reception).

As far as we know, Loveness hadn't completed a draft of the script, but he definitely had a rough idea of the story. Will the studio go with a complete overhaul when they bring on a new writer? We'll just have to wait and see.

This is just a rumor for now, but if it is accurate, we expect the trades to confirm fairly soon. In the meantime, let us know what you make of this in the comments section.

@KWilly -
It should be cancelled - or turned into a Young Avengers movie if they really want to keep pushing the idea of replacement characters.

Just call the Russo's team and be done with it. GotG3 is the proof you should just let filmmakers cook their stuff properly. Just give them an overall view of what you're lookikg for and sit back while they work.

It’s not like everyone involved in the movie said, “This is a terrible script,” but Loveness forced it to happen regardless.

If it comes to Kang having to be recast, who's it going to be?
