Marvel has yet to mention Kang at all in Loki Season 2, but the reason for his omission has just been revealed, and it is not the reason you think.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite his variants being central to the plot of Loki, Kang hasn't been mentioned at all, but the genius reasoning for this has just been revealed by Marvel. Loki Season 2 has so far proved to be a real boon for the MCU and its Multiverse Saga, garnering critical acclaim and the viewership to prove it, and yet it has interestingly danced around any mention of the arch-villain's true name.
Loki Season 2, Episode 5, entitled "Science/Fiction," was an incredibly consequential penultimate episode that saw Loki finally get to grips with his Time Slipping. This means he now has the ability to visit anywhere on any timeline pretty much at will, which places him and the rest of the TVA in a much better position to rectify the situation that saw the Temporal Loom overload and explode.
Even Loki Season 1 danced around actually naming Kang, with the eccentric He Who Remains instead alluding to the character by calling himself a "conqueror." This is why none of the characters have spoken the name "Kang," as they are only acquainted with "He Who Remains," and his variants. There is another, more significant reason for the season omitting Kang's name from the script entirely, however, which is because Loki isn't his story.
Loki Isn't Kang's Story, It's Loki's The overarching motif of Season 2, Episode 5 is that Loki now has the power to write his own story. The eponymous hero has undergone the MCU's biggest redemption arc in a journey of self-discovery that culminated in the realization that he cares deeply about his friends and that he doesn't necessarily need to succumb to the supposed unifying feature of all Loki variants: that they are destined to lose.
Whether the Loki Season 2 finale will finally break the trend and bring Kang to the fore as it helps build toward the Multiverse Saga's climactic team-up movie in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty remains to be seen. What it has managed to establish in the meantime, however, is that Loki, now embodying the role of the "God of Stories," has made an impact on the Multiverse Saga without bringing Kang's name into it at all.
