While there have been a number of complaints about
Phase 4 of the MCU being disjointed and not like Phase 3’s coherent storytelling, that is mainly down to this phase being a transition focusing on how each character is coping with the fallout of
Avengers: Endgame. Now though it looks like are about to find out exactly what is coming next for the MCU, and it started with Disney+ series Loki.
In the finale of
Loki, the God of Mischief found himself coming face to face with He Who Remains, a benevolent version of Jonathan Majors’ character, Kang the Conqueror, whom was seemingly responsible for keeping the Sacred Timeline in check. However, when He Who Remains is killed by Sylvie, the first signs of the multiverse breaking out are seen.
While Marvel Studios have been gradually bringing various aspects of the multiverse into play through
Spider-Man: No Way Home and
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and next year's
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will see the return of Jonathan Majors as another version of Kang, although it is now becoming clear that this will not be Kang in his most powerful form and will act more like another tease for what is to come.
With
Avengers: Secret Wars and
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty sounding very much like the two part event
Infinity War and
Endgame became, it is clear that Kang is going to be built up over the coming years similar to Thanos. How much detail linked to this Kevin Feige will reveal during San Diego Comic-Con is yet to be revealed, but it will be more likely that we will have to wait until Disney's D23 Expo in September to get the biggest reveals.
