MCU loves its interconnected stories and big threats. Well, with the end of the Infinity Saga and the introduction of the multiverse in Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fans are left wondering – what’s next?
According to industry insider Alex Perez, Marvel might be taking a step back from the sprawling multiversal storylines. That means Kang the Conqueror’s big reign might be getting pushed back a bit. Still, he remains central to the storyline.
Industry Insider Believes Even Though There is a Multiverse Shift, Kang Remains Central
Known for sharing scoops on upcoming Marvel projects, Alex Perez recently held a Q&A session with Cosmic Marvel. When questioned about the future of the multiverse, he revealed that Marvel is rethinking how they deal with the whole multiverse idea.
Lately, Marvel has been focusing solely on down-to-earth, gritty stories like Hawkeye and the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again, focusing more on street-level heroes — the ones who aren’t fighting cosmic baddies but dealing with real-world problems.
But, there is an exception with the confirmed Deadpool 3, which inherently touches upon the Multiverse due to the characters’ origins. While the Multiverse might be taking a backseat for now, the insider assures fans that Kang and his variants remain central to Marvel’s plans.
Jonathan Majors‘ portrayal of Kang in Loki and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania established him as a big bad guy, maybe even big enough to lead the Avengers in a team-up movie like Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
