After Marvel fired Jonathan Majors, I said that the main villain of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars should still be Kang. I think the character is amazing and should be the driving force behind the Avengers teaming back up in the Multiverse Saga.
Sure, Majors can't play the character anymore, as any association with the actor would be toxic following the events in his personal life. But Marvel can recast him.
At the same time, I said more than once that I expected Avengers 5 and Avengers 6 not to make their original release dates. The films are slated to premiere on May 1st, 2026, and May 7th, 2027. This has nothing to do with the Kang problem, though Majors could always be a factor for another round of delays.
I thought the writers' and actors' strikes last year would push back multiple MCU projects to the point where delays for the next Avengers movies would be inevitable. Marvel did postpone most of its 2024 movies to next year in the end.
Fast-forward to mid-April, and a well-known insider claims that Marvel will shoot Avengers 5 in the UK in 2025. Apparently, the May 1st release date is unchanged. If true, this roadmap is exciting to this Marvel fan. I think Kang has to be the movie's main villain, or at least one of the big villains showing up in Avengers 5. Mind you, some spoilers might follow.
