DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness writer reveals how he convinced MarvelStudios to make a major Kang change in Loki
✖ During the season finale of Marvel Studios' Loki, we're introduced to Jonathan Major as a character named He Who Remains, who is actually a variant of Kang The Conqueror. In the comic, He Who Remains is a totally different character than Kang and it appears they changed that for the series due to one very specific reason. While having a discussion with The Playlist, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Loki writer Michael Waldron reveals the reason for the change.
"The TVA shifted to like, 'O.K., these guys are actually guarding against a multiverse.' And so that's when He Who Remains is just kind of an old creepy guy in the comics," Said Waldron."And I pushed and Marvel was very receptive to it, the idea, this should be a variant of Kang. Because I knew Kang was coming down the pipe as a villain in the MCU and it just felt too delicious to not have him intertwined in our time travel story somehow.
The Doctor Strange sequel is expected to have numerous cameos from previous Marvel films due to the multiverse plot line. Loki is heavily rumored to make an appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and one would assume the sequel would lead into the second season of the series."The headaches I have are probably intertwined. I mean, it's all intertwined and it's all stands alone.
Marvel Studios describes Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as follows:"To restore a world where everything is changing, Strange seeks help from his ally Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme, and the Avengers' most powerful Scarlet Witch, Wanda. But a terrible threat looms over humanity and the entire universe that no longer can be done by their power alone. Even more surprising, the greatest threat in the universe looks exactly like Doctor Strange.
