Introduced in 1964’s Avengers #8 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Kang the Conqueror is a time-traveling villain from the 31 st century, who often clashes with the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Hold on, because Kang is the most comic-book-y comic book character you’ve ever encountered. But it doesn’t look like he’ll take his place as a major MCU villain until Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton releases Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, the first of two Avengers movies announced for 2025. And we know that Kang will arrive in full in next year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

We met a variant of Kang in the finale to Loki, the chatty He Who Remains, who warned about an evil counterpart on his way. After years of cameos and hints, Thanos the Mad Titan fully emerged in Avengers: Infinity War, giving the previous decade of movies renewed focus and purpose.Īlthough we know that Jonathan Majors’s Kang the Conqueror will be the overall bad guy in Marvel’s Phases 4 through 6, aka The Multiverse Saga, he’s very much in the nascent stages. No matter how popular Iron Man and Black Panther were, the MCU really came together for most casual viewers when the primary villain took center stage.
