The next Avengers movie is undergoing big changes behind the scenes. Originally calledAvengers: The Kang Dynasty, the upcoming film is set to get a new title to remove the mention of Kang, played by Jonathan Majors.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios is working on rewriting the upcoming Avengers movie, “which will now either minimize the character or excise him entirely.” Even before the conviction, however, Marvel was reportedly looking to minimize the character after his big-screen introduction to the MCU,Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, underperformed with a box office taking of $476 million.
It’s not just the movie formally known as The Kang Dynasty that needs a rethink, either. A sequel,Avengers: Secret Wars, is currently scheduled to be released a year later. Plot details for both movies are still heavily under wraps and no casting details have been released yet.
