Avengers: The Kang Dynasty - Release Date, Cast, & Story Details

:0:0

Summary

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty promises to be a crossover event of unprecedented magnitude with potentially thousands of powerful villains facing off against the MCU's biggest hero lineup ever united in one project.
Jonathan Majors' court case and real-life controversies threaten the crossover event, potentially resulting in a recasting of Kang or a change in the direction of Avengers 5.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is set to be released on May 1, 2026, following The Fantastic Four's debut and is expected to bring together a massive roster of Avengers to take on the Council of Kangs, potentially including both familiar and new characters from the MCU.

In 2026, the Avengers will return to the big screen with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, reuniting the MCU's first superhero team for the first time since Avengers: Endgame. While concrete story details are limited so far, Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton's The Kang Dynasty promises to be a crossover event of unprecedented magnitude, with potentially thousands of extremely powerful villains facing off against the MCU's biggest hero line-up ever united in one project. There can be no doubt that blood will be spilled.
Even several years before The Kang Dynasty's release, Marvel were faced with the problem of Jonathan Majors' court case and real-life controversies, which threaten to undermine the faith shown in the actor to take the MCU through to 2026. So far, Marvel Studios' plans have not changed (other than a release date shift), with Majors still set to play the Council of Kangs in Phase 6, but that may yet change. If that is the case, either the studio recast Kang or Avengers 5 becomes something else entirely. For now, though, there's still a lot to know about Avengers: The Kang Dynasty...

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Latest News

On November, 15, 2023, it was reported that the director of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty stepped down from the role, leaving the project in a complicated position for the time being. Destin Daniel Cretton - who also directed Phase 4's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - is reportedly in talks with Marvel to helm another project instead of Avengers 5, but this does mean at the current time the movie is without a director. As such, the final cut of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is sure to look different from what it might have prior when a new creative takes over the directing role.
There is a chance that Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will experience further delays depending on how long it takes to find a new director.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Release Date

While it was originally set for release on May, 2, 2025, Marvel shifted The Kang Dynasty's release date to May 1, 2026. It will follow The Fantastic Four's debut at the start of the MCU's Phase 6, as long as plans remain the same.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Cast Info

So far, The Kang Dynasty has just one confirmed actor, Jonathan Majors, who could potentially play millions of characters, all variants of Kang. But such is the scale of the coming war that it's possible that every conceivable MCU hero could well return to team-up to take on the Council of Kangs.
Every Kang Variant Confirmed For The Kang Dynasty

Immortus, The Once & Future Kang
Rama-Tut
Scarlet Centurion
Mister Gryphon (the suit-wearing Kang in Quantumania)
Reptilian Kang the Conqueror
Victor Timely (if he survives Loki season 2)
Thousands of Nameless Kang variants

That's quite the villain profile, considering the Council of Kangs could literally have every conceivable level of power across the entire spectrum. Think Across the Spider-Verse had a lot of variants? You ain't seen nothing yet. That means Avengers: The Kang Dynasty needs an Avengers team to match, and while the New Avengers line-up for Phase 6 is yet to be revealed, we already have a good idea who will appear. For a start, the new Fantastic Four will most likely appear, with their movie coming just before Avengers 5, and they should be joined by the Avengers who are still active in the MCU. The list of the most likely candidates is pretty huge:
Who Are The Avengers In The Kang Dynasty?

Thor - Chris Hemsworth
Captain America - Anthony Mackie
Doctor Strange - Benedict Cumberbatch
Spider-Man - Tom Holland
Captain Marvel - Brie Larson
Hulk - Mark Ruffalo
Ant-Man - Paul Rudd
Wasp - Evangeline Lily
Black Panther - Letitia Wright
War Machine - James Rhodes
Wong - Benedict Wong
Shang-Chi - Simu Liu
Ms Marvel - Iman Vellani
Monica Rambeau - Teyonah Parris
She-Hulk - Tatiana Maslany
Hawkeye - Hailee Steinfeld and/or Jeremy Renner
Cassie Lang - Kathryn Newton

Tom Hiddleston's Loki is a strong bet given how Loki season 2 informs the Multiverse story. Then there's the supporting characters like the entire Thunderbolts line-up, including Sebastian Stan's Bucky and Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, other Young Avengers like Thor's daughter Love (India Rose Hemsworth) and America Chavez.
