"Avengers 5: Kang Dynasty Receives Major Title Change"

Marvel Studios is reportedly changing the title of the fifth Avengers film, originally titled The Kang Dynasty, to distance itself from the character following Jonathan Majors' firing. The studio is reworking the story to minimize or remove Kang entirely after his portrayal in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania underperformed at the box office. There are also discussions about pivoting from Kang to Doctor Doom, with the character potentially appearing in the MCU soon. The next Avengers movies, now untitled, are being rewritten to accommodate these changes, with Deadpool & Wolverine set to release in 2024 as part of Phase 5.

Marvel Studios Shifts Focus Away from Jonathan Majors' Kang in the MCU

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is reportedly moving away from the character Kang, played by Jonathan Majors, due to the actor's legal troubles and the lack of future projects that require Kang's presence. While Kang was a significant villain in the Loki series, the storyline seems concluded, and the movie where Kang was the main antagonist, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, was poorly received. Marvel may explore other storylines and potential villains like Doctor Doom or Magneto instead.
