Spoilers follow for Loki season 1.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors has teased that “different iterations” of Kang will appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Speaking to Brazilian outlet Somos Geeks (opens in new tab) (skip to the 3:00 mark), Majors, who portrays Kang the Conqueror throughout Marvel‘s Multiverse Saga, suggested that we could see other versions of the iconic supervillain in forthcoming movies and TV shows.
That might not be a big spoiler. MCU fans who watched Loki season 1 on Disney Plus will know that Majors has already played one of Kang’s other MCU variants – aka He Who Remains, who appears to be based on Immortus, one of Kang’s comic-book variants.
In Loki episode 6, He Who Remains also confirmed that other Kang variants would cross over into the MCU if Loki and Sylvie killed him, as He Who Remains is the only one who has managed to stop other universes (and Kangs) invading the MCU’s so-called sacred timeline. Sylvie wound up murdering He Who Remains, thus helping to instigate the multiverse’s arrival.
What’s interesting about Majors’ comments, though, is that he (or, rather, Marvel) don’t use the word “variant” when they discuss the multiverse’s numerous versions of Kang. Instead, a completely different description is used for the Marvel Phase 5 villain, which will certainly pique the interest of comic book fans.
“When they [Marvel] said there would be different iterations – that’s actually the word they used, they didn’t say variants,” Majors revealed. “So when they said there is different iterations of this character, I thought ‘Okay, cool, I’d like to take that on and have a stab at it.'”
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will be the next Marvel movie to land in theaters. The superhero film will kickstart Phase 5 of the MCU, and, after a somewhat mixed bag in MCU Phase 4, hopefully get Marvel’s cinematic juggernaut back on track.
