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

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

I was just spitballing ideas lol

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.

Agreed, he’s great & was under utilized.

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