Daily News for Marvel Movie

The MCU is setting a trend with its use of Kang the Conqueror and his variants, which could impact Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. When the Multiverse Saga was first commencing in the wake of Avengers: Endgame, Loki gave the first hint of what was to come by introducing Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains. He was already announced as Kang the Conqueror for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but his appearance in Loki was a big surprise.
After that, his demise in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was significant for many reasons. While it went against expectations that he would kill Ant-Man, his fate also unlocked the opportunity to introduce more of his variants, including Victor Timely, Immortus, Rama-Tut, and Scarlet Centurion. Going forward, his variants can begin to take center stage in upcoming properties leading up to Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. How the MCU chooses to use and showcase them will have a lasting impact on the Multiverse Saga’s stakes and success.
Kang's Repeated Failure Risks Making Him Seem Weak In Avengers 5 So far, the MCU has only featured two versions of Kang in significant roles in the MCU, and both have ended up as the loser in their respective projects. He Who Remains’ case in Loki is quite different from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s Kang. The former gets his own riveting episode in which he effectively establishes the MCU’s understanding of the multiverse and what he and his variants are capable of. Sylvie killing him in revenge for how the TVA has hunted her down was a powerful moment, but in the grand scope of who Kang the Conqueror is, He Who Remains’ death was relatively unimpressive.
Kang’s defeat in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania may not be what it seems. When the tables seemed to be turned against Ant-Man, Wasp came in to save the day, and together the heroes successfully pushed him back into his multiverse engine. As it collapsed in on itself, it pulled Kang into oblivion – presumably killing him – but knowing Marvel and their plans, this could’ve just unlocked Kang’s evolution into something more powerful for Avengers: Secret Wars. His demise did entail a fight, but it also risked creating a problematic pattern for the MCU.
