Though Kang will be taking the villain spotlight in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, it looks like Jonathan Majors has more Marvel projects to show up in this year.
As per insider Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie), Majors is set to play multiple Kang variants in the upcoming second season of Loki. No details have been released on how many Kangs will appear, but it’s said that the season will also introduce something called a “Time Loom” which is “the source of the TVA power. They use the energy from the time stream and absorb it.”
Though Majors is going to make his big Marvel moment in Ant-Man 3, he actually made his MCU debut last year with the first season of Loki, as “He Who Remains”, a Kang variant that established the TVA, with the sole purpose of keeping one original timeline and preventing alternate timelines from occurring.
Admittedly, Majors’ Kang in Ant-Man seems a lot scarier than the one we met in Loki, but I think that’s the point of the character. We’re supposed to meet multiple iterations of him from other dimensions, and while some can be good, there are just others that are multiple shades of bad.
If I were to make a guess, I think Kang is going to be making small cameos in every MCU project in Phase 5, building up to his ‘Dynasty’ in the fifth Avengers movie. We don’t know what it would take to defeat a being that can jump realities, but I guess that’s why we would need the Avengers to reassemble one more time.
No release date has been set for Loki 2, but watch out for Kang on the big screen when Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania comes out on Feb. 16.
