Using Kang’s familial connections to the team or its greatest adversary could be an interesting way to bring them into the fold. In any case, thanks to Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox, Marvel Studios has its hands on the Fantastic Four property and plans to introduce Marvel’s First Family into the MCU at some point. Although there is some confusion about this, as it’s also possible that Kang could be part of Doctor Doom’s lineage the matter has yet to be resolved. Furthermore, as the last name Richards indicates, Kang might be a descendant of Mister Fantastic himself, Reed Richards. The point being, along with playing the main Kang in Ant-Man 3 and beyond, there’s a chance Jonathan Majors could play other versions of the character in different corners of the MCU.Īs mentioned earlier, Kang the Conqueror fought the Fantastic Four in his Rama-Tut guise, but what I didn’t mention was this happened in his first comic book appearance: 1963’s Fantastic Four #19.

There’s also an adolescent version of Kang known as Iron Lad who’s been prominent over the last decade and a half, but we’ll touch on him. There was also a period where Kang lived a quiet life in 1910 as Victor Timely, during which time he met and inspired a young scientist named Phineas Horton, the man who would go on to create the Human Torch android in the late 1930s.Īrguably the most well-known alternate version of Kang the Conqueror is Immortus, a future Kang who becomes an agent of the Time Keepers and rededicates his life to preserving timelines rather than taking them over, resulting in Immortus both working and clashing with the Avengers on several occasions. As mentioned earlier, Kang originally caused trouble as Rama-Tut, and a future version of Kang briefly returned to this identity to aid the Avengers, but then resumed his normal Kang duties. With Kang the Conqueror though, it’s way more complicated, as there are various past and future versions of him carrying out their own activities under different guises. Multiple Versions Of Him Could Appear In The MCUĪlternate versions of characters is nothing new within the superhero genre, particularly thanks to the multiverse concept.
