"Marvel's Avengers: Kang Dynasty Receives Title Overhaul Amid Controversy"

Marvel's next Avengers movie, previously titled Kang Dynasty, is reportedly undergoing a major rework and may remove the character Kang the Conqueror from the narrative following actor Jonathan Majors' legal issues. The studio has also faced setbacks with the departure of the director and the soft box office performance of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. With plans to pivot away from Kang and potentially reunite the original team members for the next duology of Avengers movies, Marvel is reevaluating its cinematic future amidst the arrival of new franchises like Deadpool & Wolverine and The Fantastic Four.
