Bye bye

 

We can now officially say Ant-Man killed Kang, yeah? Pretty monumental for the character.

I’d love for Boyega to come on board as a variant.

 

Good riddance great man

 

Wonder who they'll recast with.

Stick with Renslayer?

Terrence Howard?

S2 of Loki already set it up if it were to come to this.

 

This is what the leakers meant when they Johansson will return

 

And there we go

 

Yeah, I definitely take that as them ditching Kang. I disagree with the decision and think recasting would be the better move. Especially halfway through the saga trying (successfully or unsuccessfully) to set him up as the big bad. Feels like a huge waste if they just drop the character now.

 

They’re gonna rush Doom and completely blow it now, aren’t they?

 

Makes sense as to why Cretton left.

Most likely a) didn’t want to work with Majors given the evidence b) knew it will be a heavy burden to deal with if a new villain was selected

All the films leading up to Avengers 5 have a script so either some major rewrites will happen or the villain will have to be introduced and fleshed out in A5, which will complicate focusing on the new team.

 

Worthwhile to ensure that guy is no longer involved.

 

Never said it wasn’t. Just that it’s easy to see why a director would pass given the circumstances.

 

No idea how they’ll have a new villain in Avengers 5, but seeing as I didn’t care for Kang I’m open for whatever they throw at us

 

oh I wasn't intending for that to come across as challenging you. Was just saying if this means they have to make significant changes then it's worth it to ensure an abuser isn't in the picture anymore, regardless of what the quality will be.

 

100%

If it stumbles we all at least know why and that the better call was made.

 

If they go ahead with Doom then I say make avengers 5 Doom heavy, similar to infinity war and Thanos. Leading straight into Secret Wars with Doom as the antagonist again.

Write the F4 film to where it introduces doom slightly

 

this is going to be a clusterfuck

 

I really feel like only giving Doom half a saga would be a disservice to the character.

 

Rushing into Doom could easily turn bad. Just get another Avengers villain that can be used to set up whatever Secret Wars will be and have it be a one-and-done. Might not even have to be that heavy and can simply be a villain that causes the new Avengers team to form while only being an earthly threat.

Why not have Ultron return? The audience will already be familiar with him. Any competent writer could bring Ultron from the plot elements surrounding Brave New World and Thunderbolts.

 

I like this. Make Avengers 5 be Ultron with the New Avengers, while you begin hinting at Doom and building to him for Secret Wars. Push that one back like 5 years and have a couple phases before then. Stretch the Multiverse saga to like 5 phases.

 

I vote for doing whatever they can to not extend this saga, but also not rush Doom

 

No way can they stretch the multiverse saga anymore than they already have. It’s already becoming stale

 

I still want a Kang, but it would be real easy to use the Ultron from What If.

It would still involve multiverse shenanigans and be a multiveral threat, and have the bonus of making What If important to the Saga.

 

while I’d be down for a fun back-to-basics Avengers film, I’d also be into What If Ultron appearing. Just might have to nerf him a bit depending on who is in the new Avengers lineup.

 

Secret Wars should be able to still reach its deadline if Avengers 5 isn’t Kang or multiverse related.

Deadpool 3 has that covered.

If you’re reading this Cretton or Feige, please remove any multiverse travels from Shang-Chi 2. Thanks.
