During this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios announced that The Multiverse Saga will wrap up with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Based on the titles alone, we're assuming Kang the Conqueror will take aim at Earth's Mightiest Heroes in that first movie, resulting in a new reality being created in the follow-up (similar to the amalgamation of worlds we saw in Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic's 2015 Secret Wars comic book event).
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton will helm The Kang Dynasty, and Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors has already met with the filmmaker. He doesn't give too much away in the video below, but suggests the movie is going to pose some big questions.
"We're dealing with myths," he teases. "You know, what is a Kang? What is a...what is movie? What is an MCU movie? What does that mean, what does that look like? Those are the questions we're asking."
"But all of that works when it's grounded and really, really, really tucked into the given circumstances of what's going on between these people, and what we can illuminate for ourselves as a species." Asked what Kang brings to the table, the actor added, "Look, what's a villain?"
Reading between the lines - and looking at that title - we're betting this will be the movie which really pulls the curtain back on the Conqueror.
The movie isn't that far away, but Marvel Studios still has a lot of stories to tell in theaters and on Disney+ before then. We know Kang Variants will factor into Loki season 2 and the next Ant-Man movie, and chances are those won't be the only places we see this enigmatic villain.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is set to be released on May 2, 2025.
