Overview
- Michael Waldron said he and Jeff Loveness pitched a scene where the Young Avengers beat a Kang variant who is later revealed to be inexperienced via a tongue‑in‑cheek card.
- The writer shared the idea during a Reddit AMA, noting the variant may have been the “lizard Kang” referenced after Ant‑Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
- Marvel scrapped Avengers: The Kang Dynasty after Jonathan Majors was dropped following his misdemeanor assault and harassment conviction, prompting a new direction.
- The studio is now making Avengers: Doomsday for December 18, 2026 with Joe and Anthony Russo directing and Robert Downey Jr. playing Doctor Doom, per official announcements.
- Loveness began on Kang Dynasty with Waldron but was replaced by Stephen McFeely when the project shifted, and reporting suggests Young Avengers elements could be repurposed though not confirmed.
