Will Kang Return? Fate of His Dynasty Explained

At San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2024, Marvel Studios announced the official title for Avengers 5 as Doomsday, moving away from the previously planned Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. This change raises many questions, particularly about how Marvel will handle the replacement of Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror.

What will happen to all his variants? Here’s all you need to know.

Do not expect Jonathan Majors to return, as Marvel Studios has fired him from all Kang variant roles. A court found Majors guilty of harassment in the second degree and assault in the third degree, leading to his immediate removal from his duties as Kang the Conqueror.

Initially introduced as He Who Remains in Loki, he later played multiple variants of Kang in Loki Season 2 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. However, this buildup is now irrelevant with Marvel’s new direction for Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to transition into Avengers: Secret Wars in a markedly different way.

At SDCC 2024, Marvel announced Robert Downey Jr. as Victor Von Doom, stepping in to replace Jonathan Majors’ Kang. Downey’s character is speculated to be a Tony Stark variant from an alternate Earth, transitioning from the hero of the Infinity Saga to the critical villain of the Multiverse Saga.

Marvel has yet to officially detail how they will address the absence of Kang and his variants in Avengers 5: Doomsday. However, given that Kang will not appear, Dr. Doom may be the force responsible for the downfall of all Kang variants across the multiverse. It might be depicted through a brief line or scene showcasing Doom eliminating Rama Tut, Scarlet Centurion, and other Kang variants.

This approach can establish Dr. Doom as God Emperor Doom, positioning him as a true threat to the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and all other heroes across the multiverse in Avengers: Secret Wars.
