KANG
🕑 Added 2023-12-18 23:41:25 +0000 UTCHere is what I know.
Kang Dynasty was set to film in March in the UK
Waldron been hired in November to write a new draft. At that time Majors was still attached so the script was still very much about Kang. The idea of bringing Waldron in was to finish what he started with Loki.
Despite rumors there was no plan to replace Kang with Doom as the main villain. At best he would be another villain in the Avengers films.
If Majors been found not guilty they would have kept him, bad press or not. But they were left with no choice. So for now the 5ht Avengers movie is no longer called Kang Dynasty (but they could change it back)
Right now Marvel is considering their next steps. They haven't decided what to do yet. A final decision will be made soon as they'll have to tell Waldron if he should rewrite his script from scrath or keep it as is.

Nah. No way but they will not drop Kang

Is there any possibility Jonathan Majors gets reinstated? He was found not guilty of the more serious charges, and is likely to appeal the two minor charges he was found guilty of. Also how do you move on from him following the Ant Man post credits scene. The multiverse saga would feel incomplete without him at the helm.

Any chance we jump straight to the beyonder?
David Grixti
Somehow they have to make Quantumania irrelevant, or a didn't really happen kind of thing
Jared Rowan
I mean they literally fired him today so no.

Is the rumor true that Kang Dynasty will now be called Secret Wars part 1?
Matt Hopkins
Is Jonathan Majors 100% ruled out as Kang, is there any possibility the dust settles and he remains Kang? Marvel stayed with Renner and Brolin.
Daniel R
Nope

Dan, I have another question. Since they were planning and will still start filming in 2024, does that mean they already have the director(s)?

So they were gonna shoot Kang concurrently with all the ‘25 movies? That’s uhhh… kinda weird
Daniel R
yes but not early 2024
Samuel Peña
For now, the film continues with its release date in 2026 and filming to begin in 2024?

I feel like March is really rushed with no director or cast members announced, and the script only being reworked in November…
Patrick Dykes
If they were still planning on filming in March then that must mean it already has a director right?
