1905 Movie Network News Recently, "Avengers 5: The Reign of Kang" has undergone major changes. Officials stated that the film will change its title to "The Reign of Kang" and will not put the character of Kang in the film. The new film title has not been revealed yet.
The reason why Marvel did this is that the actor Jonathan Majors who will play Kang in the film has been involved in various scandals, and his starring film and television series have been suspended, which is understandable. Previously, it was reported that Marvel was planning to stay away from the character of Kang and even abandon all plots related to it. Consider the off-screen lawsuit against actor Jonathan Majors who plays Kang, as well as the finale of "Loki" season 2. It's possible that Marvel is changing its plans to build the next Avengers movie around Kang. There are even reports that Marvel is considering replacing Kang with Doctor Doom as the biggest villain. On a larger level, Disney is already parting ways with Jonathan Majors. "Magazine Dreams" in which he starred has been withdrawn by Disney.
After stripping off the character of Kang, it is still unknown how Marvel will arrange its troops next. "Avengers 5" has gone through script rewrites, director exits and other changes. The latest situation is that Michael Waldron will write the film script. In addition, he is also the screenwriter of "Avengers 6". The two "Avengers" films will be shot back-to-back. For Marvel and super blockbusters, back-to-back filming has extremely high risks and uncertainties. Marvel movies are currently experiencing a period of pain. As its films have suffered a collapse at the box office and reputation, it is still unknown where the huge IP of Avengers will go.
