James Gunn Simply Snipped Away One other Thread Defending Jonathan Majors’ Future as MCU’s Kang

Picture through Marvel Studios

At this level, Avengers: Kang Dynasty is nearly two years away. So, with Loki season two nonetheless having no official launch date — aside from the mid-2023 debut window — the one factor that might be confirming that Marvel Studios will not be planning to half methods with Jonathan Majors within the wake of the sexual assault allegations towards him is that if Kang cameos within the upcoming MCU movies. However James Gunn has doused chilly, future-chilling, water on the chance. 

It’s common sense that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 received’t be organising Kang the Conqueror’s escapades as it’s anticipated to wrap up the tales of the intergalactic superheroes — at the very least those that received’t be returning – and be Gunn’s MCU swan track. The truth is, the Guardians will likely be busy battling supervillains of their very own to provide consideration to the time-traveling baddie.

However nothing is stopping a post-credits scene from dropping a glimpse of the mighty villain and his many scheming variants who’re able to wage struggle on the Avengers. Keep in mind Age of Ultron’s post-credit scene the place Thanos was seen nabbing the Infinity Gauntlet? He had no connection by any means to Ultron and his actions within the movie, but the post-credits scene nonetheless indulged in teasing the Titan’s brewing plans to annihilate half the universe. However apparently, this explicit plan of action will not be in Gunn’s guide as he not too long ago answered a fan’s queries on Instagram about Kang’s presence in GotG 3. 

“Vol 3 is about ending the story of those Guardians, not about organising anything. I don’t even know what’s occurring with the opposite Marvel films.”

Properly, there you go. The studio is armed with the creatively versatile boundaries of a fictional universe and is understood for recasting main actors with out considering twice. Whereas Kang’s absence in GotG 3 isn’t precisely a significant letdown, teasing what the assorted variants of Kang have been as much as since their lackluster debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania would have been the vote of confidence Majors’ at present uncertain presence within the MCU sorely wants.
