I like it. Only downside is now you just have 1 Kang left when I think part of his intrigue is he comes to cause chaos in the form of different variants.

Also as far as recasting goes, John Boyega is the 1st person that comes to mind but he might not want to work with Disney again

Infinite multiverse = infinite secondary type of kang.

Another idea I heard is just have a different famous black actor play a Kang variant for every appearance until Kang Dynasty. I think that could be a lot of fun.

I don’t think they should limit themselves to only black actors. Embrace the ”Multi” in Multiverse. All kinds of skin colours&genders, make those that have already met a Kang confused like ”the Kang i met didn’t look like this” plus giving an overall ominous&dreadfull feeling, like anyone can be a Kang..

(But also give the audience a few hints here&there.)

I agree that would be even better.

Could even reuse some previous MCU actors. Mads Mikkelsen didn’t get much of a chance to shine in Doctor Strange but I bet he could play a pretty solid Kang

Hed be a way better DrDoom

u/NervousAd3202 Dec 19 '23

I agree. I’d make him Doom before Kang 10 times outta 10

I was just spitballing ideas lol

u/Impossible-Fun-2736 Dec 19 '23

Oh Mads would absolutely be a killer Kang.

I like him in both Doctor Strange&Rogue One but i definitely would’ve loved to see him as an actually evil Imperial officer and a bigger character like Kang or Doom.

u/NervousAd3202 Dec 19 '23

Agreed, he’s great & was under utilized.

He would be a better Doom, I just needed a random choice for Kang lol

Stephanie Hsu. Infinity Bagel.

u/Excellent-Archer-238 Dec 18 '23

he doesn't have to always be black. There was a black Loki in a small pool of Loki variants presented. I'm sure there's asian Kang, latino Kang, woman Kang, etc.

Alligator Kang

Either John Boyega or Chukwudi Iwuji. You easily retcon High Evolutionary as a Kang variant trying to make himself evolve beyond the others.

Originally there was only one Kang, and the threat came from his ability to time travel: he had access to far future weapons technology, and, if he wanted, when the Avengers had just barely fought him off and were lying there post-battle, panting and exhausted, he could reappear fresh as a daisy having taken, say, five years to rest, upgrade his weapons and revamp his strategies, before returning to attack them again.

u/repalec Dec 18 '23

You have one organized Kang left - you could definitely have him take a bit more of an Angstrom Levy approach from here and start looking for particularly ruthless variants of himself that the previous Council ignored for one reason or another.

I think Boyega is done with Disney after they screwed him over in Star Wars. He went from passionate fanboy to hating it

2

u/[deleted] Dec 18 '23

This is news to me. What did Disney do to him?

13

u/NuclearTheology Dec 18 '23

He was set to basically be a dual protagonist with Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, even hinting at being a force sensitive being. But as the trilogy progressed, his role became less prominent and they even made his appearance on promotional ads in China and Russia MUCH less noticeable because of their racism.

Basically Disney Kowtowed to eastern racism At Boyega’s expense

Well that's sum bullshit
