Avengers The Kang Dynasty

Just announced in Hall H:

Marvel Studios' Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, in theaters May 2, 2025. #SDCC2022

So that's confirmation that Kang the Conqueror only dips his toe into Ant-Man 3.

But the actual Avengers won't be in it though, possible exception Thor.

Finally, some actual direction for the franchise. Why we could not have gotten this slate in the first place is beyond me.

Diversity comes first. We needed the first Asian hero. The first diverse whatever the **** Eternals was. The first girl with two moms in Multiverse of Madness. Bisexual Valkyrie as King of Asgard. That was way more important.

And if we weren't allowed to say Loki was bi... bam, scrap the entire MCU.

Destin Daniel Cretton, who helmed last year’s Marvel hit, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has come aboard to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal.

Interesting that they don't mention Secret Wars. Maybe these two films aren't connected in the same way that Endgame & Infinity War are?

Or maybe not.

I've seen Shang-Chi once. Thought it was okay until I nearly fell asleep in the third-act. Hard to blame the director for that at this point. I think I'll try to watch Shang-Chi again though.

Eternals had an Indian and Muslim superhero, and the first on-screen gay kiss.

Shang Chi was generic as they come - pretty picture, good actors, ****** script, which killed advantage of the first two things.
So, I guess, if script is good, movie will be good.

However, with next to zero build up, I don't think it will have the same effect as IW/EG.

But aren't many of the story problem due to reshoots and not the script he provided? Sure, the script itself likely had problems but if the stuff people complain about stem from the production deciding to deviate from it, then you shouldn't blame the writer for that.

Someone's head needed to roll, so he was the fall guy. You know the woke types never ever blame themselves. It's 'never their fault'.

Its less "woke" and more how corporations roll.

Um... that's quite a bump.

[Sumac]

Guess, recasting Kang is in the works, or they just hope that Majors won't be ruined though and through.

Majors trial set for August

Yeah, and Avengers movie without the actual Avengers in it will be a tough sell. I mean, if they wanted to go with Kamala and the rest, call it Young Avengers or something.

[Andrew NDB]

Probably it will be black Captain America, Thor, Hulk and She-Hulk, the Marvels, Shang-Chi, and Captain Two Moms with the most important part. And we'll likely get Evil RDJ Iron Man and SOME kind of Steve Rogers something. Rocket's new Guardians might show up, too.
