Thankfully Loki 2 put them in a good position to just nip the kang storyline in the bud. At least for now. Maybe wait a good decade or two then potentially bring back the threat of Kang with a new actor (or more).

Personally hope they just recast and say fuck him tbh. Not many villains are on Kang's level, and we've already seen from covid what happens when Marvel has to respond to a massive shift in plans.

I'm hoping though, that loki 2 were signs of them having got a plan B though. At least if those scenes towards the end were reshoots. If they were in the original script, then it's just a lucky coincidence it looks that way.

Hopefully with a potential recast they can get away with the abysmal portrayal in ant man and have this new version not linked to that one at all.

I was never familiar with him in the comics, but the MCU has so far made him seem ineffective and weak. I'd rather they just end it and move on to the next big bad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they made a bad job out of showing that he's basically evil Tony Stark with 30the century tech.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's true. The TVA is killing all the Kangs so maybe only the variants that don't look like Timely/HWR survive.

Or just say, no the TVA handled all the Kangs, here is Dr Doom.

I wonder if Mayors had something in his contract that only he can play Kang, as some people suspect from not already recasting him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

He can be removed based on the "morality clause" they put in these contracts. Basically "if you make us look bad, you're gone". All entertainers have them because they're public figures.

I wish Madds Mikkelsen hadn't been in dr. Strange so he could play dr. Doom.

Let's get Lars Mikkelsen to play him instead

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

They can and have cast the same actors twice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I heard Mads was actually talking with them about that role, too. But then, I heard that about a few people, and they won't tell us until the last second in any case.

[–] MrScottyTay 2 points 1 year ago

Mads would've been a perfect doom. I hate when they get such good actors just to get rid of them. I know Kaecilius (or however you spell it) isn't actually dead, but they're also not doing anything with him either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They can also just bring in ravonna as his variant
