Thanos Needs To Return To The MCU To Prove Kang The Conqueror’s Strength
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!Kang the Conqueror has a chance to prove his true strength if Thanos returns in the MCU's future. Josh Brolin portrayed the Infinity Saga's big bad, built up over a number of years in the MCU, eventually going toe-to-toe with the Avengers in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame after brief appearances in The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the Mad Titan was defeated by Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, and the combined forces of the MCU's heroes in Endgame, there's a chance the brutal villain could return to the franchise, which could help to redeem Kang the Conqueror.
Since Thanos' defeat in Avengers: Endgame, there have been questions surrounding his potential return to the MCU, which have only increased in recent months after rumors of multiple characters' returns in Phase 6 have risen. Marvel Studios is now deep within the Multiverse Saga, with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania kicking off Phase 5 and introducing the true Kang the Conqueror to the MCU. The Multiverse Saga has also introduced many variants of established characters, most prominently in Loki, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, perhaps opening the door for many more Marvel characters to reprise their superhero careers in the MCU proper.
