What To Expect: Changes In Avengers 5 Plot From Kang Dynasty

So, there’s been quite a buzz around the next Avengers movie lately. Marvel Studios seems to have finally picked a director for Avengers 5, but the whole thing’s shrouded in mystery. Let’s try to piece together what we know so far, especially after all those rumors floating around online.

Originally, Avengers 5 was supposed to be called “Kang Dynasty,” focusing on the character Kang the Conqueror, who we got a taste of in the Loki series. You might remember those post-credit scenes from Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania teasing a bunch of Kangs ready to take over the multiverse, with our heroes gearing up to face them and their variants. But then, there was a twist.

Jonathan Majors, who played Kang, got into some legal trouble, leading Marvel Studios to rethink their plans. They put Kang on the back burner for now and did a major overhaul of the storyline. According to the grapevine, Avengers 5 might not dive into the whole multiverse thing after all. Instead, it’s rumored to take a more grounded approach, focusing on a more realistic storyline. And get this – it’s going to be a massive ensemble affair, with cameos from over 60 Marvel characters we’ve seen before.

Now, as for who’s going to assemble the Avengers this time around, our money’s on Wong. Yeah, the same guy who’s now the Sorcerer Supreme and played a big role in the Multiverse Saga. And mark your calendars because Avengers 5 is expected to hit theaters on May 2, 2026.
