There's a huge amount of excitement for the next two Avengers movies, especially with titles like The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars! Anything and everything we hear before they're released should probably be taken with a pinch of salt, but we can't help getting a little giddy after reading these rumoured story details.
According to the Heavy Spoilers YouTube channel, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will pull the curtain back on the title villain's backstory, revealing how he's conquered countless worlds across the Multiverse.
Earth's Mightiest Heroes will assemble to battle Kang the Conqueror, getting some backup from Earth-616's Kang: Nathaniel Richards, the scientist who later became He Who Remains in Loki. Remember, the villain revealed that he figured out how to stop his Variants prior to creating the Sacred Timeline and told Sylvie that, even if she killed him, the same thing would happen all over again.
Unsurprisingly, Kang will defeat The Avengers, prompting them to traverse the Multiverse in Avengers: Secret Wars to put together a huge team of heavy hitters. That will supposedly include characters from pretty much every Marvel movie ever, including heroes from the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises, and actors like Hugh Jackman, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire.
As we've previously heard, it appears the idea is for Avengers: Endgame's "Portals" scene to look positively small fry in comparison!
The most interesting part of these claims is that Marvel Studios is looking to sign up some of those actors for a new MCU that will be created at the end of Avengers: Secret Wars. Similar to the comic book event from Jonathan Hickman, it seems a new world that incorporates many timelines will form, which will "allow for some of the X-Men and so on to be brought across."
Again, we shouldn't take any of this too seriously for now, but if it's true, it appears The Multiverse Saga will end with a reboot that sets the stage for a new era of storytelling.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is set to be released on May 2, 2025, while Avengers: Secret Wars will follow on May 1, 2026.
