The MCU is changing course for Avengers 5 after Jonathan Majors' exit. Can Marvel successfully integrate Doctor Doom into the narrative and address the lingering Kang plotlines?
While the MCU is facing the challenge of replacing Kang the Conqueror in Avengers 5, the sudden departure of actor Jonathan Majors due to legal issues has prompted a course correction. Kang, initially introduced as He Who Remains in Loki and later as Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, failed to resonate with audiences as strongly as Thanos. The character's resetting nature with each appearance and Quantumania's lukewarm reception further complicated matters.
Now, Avengers 5, originally titled The Kang Dynasty, is pivoting to focus on Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., and will be known as Avengers: Doomsday. While this casting change is exciting, it raises questions about how Marvel will address the established Kang narrative. General audiences may be less affected, but long-time fans expect some explanation. Interestingly, some speculate that Loki season 2's ending may offer a solution by setting up a potential replacement for Kang
