In anticipation of Deadpool & Wolverine hitting theaters on July 24th, new information from the MCU has come to us about the next Avengers in the 5th saga. According to DeadlineDirector Sean Levy is in talks to helm the project.
That’s good, he’s the one with the new adventure of a trashy superhero facing off against a clawed mutant. Still titled Kang Dynasty, this feature film will hit theaters on April 29, 2026.
What about Kang?
After pleading guilty to assault and harassment against his ex-girlfriend, Jonathan Majors has been fired from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which he played the big bad Kang. At this time, we do not know Maison des Idées’ plans for its replacement. The studio may have found a way to include some of the main antagonists in the story.
Additionally, according to sources cited by Deadline, Avengers 5 could bring together more than 60 characters from the MCU. From Thor to the Hulk via Nebula, Loki, Doctor Strange or Shang-Chi, many superheroes should take part in this new movie.
There are also reports that Robert Downey Jr., aka Iron Man, could reprise his role, as well as Chris Evans in Captain America. With the establishment of the multiverse in the MCU, anything is now possible. The appearance of the X-Men is also mentioned.
Despite Robert Downey Jr. expressing his desire to reprise his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel boss Kevin Feige has dismissed claims that he is considering bringing back Iron Man.
We are going to preserve this moment and not touch it again.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, he said the studio can’t “Magically Undo” Tony Stark’s death in Endgame. “We’re going to hold onto this moment and not touch it again”he said. “We’ve all worked very hard over many years to achieve this and we never wanted to magically undo it.”
Commentary courtesy of directors Joe and Anthony Russo, who added a GamesRadar mic: “We’ve closed that chapter, so it’s up to them how they’re going to open it, and I don’t know how they’re going to do that.”
In any case, the project of the Avengers will take a real turn, the works of the Marvel brand will hit the box office. After the dismal commercial failures of The Marvels and Ant-Man 3, will Deadpool & Wolverine raise the bar and attract audiences to theaters again? RSVP next July 24 at the cinema.
