The day Marvel said “Let’s go forward with Kang, he is the villain that the Multiverse Saga needs” they all believed they had found the key to success. However, as we all know, it has turned out to be an absolute nightmare after the Harassment allegations against Jonathan Majors which have been getting worse with each new statement. However, phases 5 and 6 were not always going to be like this…
The Death of the study
According to Joanna Robinson, who spoke on The Big Picture podcast about everything she has researched for her book ‘MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios’, originally the plans for these two phases were very different… and, of course, they left aside this villain who has never finished fitting in with what fans had asked the cinematic universe.
Someone who works for Marvel told me that it wasn’t the plan for Kang to be the center of everything until they saw the daily footage of ‘Quantumania’ and his performance in ‘Loki’, which was so powerful that they said “This is it. It’s our way.” to follow”. They don’t normally depend on one person as much the way they did here. And that has tied them hand and foot. We don’t know what they’re going to do.
If there is one question that UCM fans are constantly repeating to themselves, it is this: What will happen to Kang? Initial rumors indicated that phases 5 and 6 were going to focus on Doctor Doom and the Almighty, but it seems that Kevin Feige will save them for the future. Or not? Perhaps it is time to take them out of a drawer to replace him: In fact, in the trailer for the ‘Loki’ season that Disney showed to the press, it didn’t even appear. “I have heard different stories: some say that they are going to replace it, others that they have not even considered it…”, says Robinson, leaving us even more in doubt about the possible solution to this multiversal mystery that we will probably know more about in the next San Diego Comic-Con this summer.
