The Avengers: Who Will Be the Central Character in the Marvel Multiverse Saga?

Phase IV was widely criticized for its lack of direction, despite Kevin Feige calling it a transitional phase. After San Diego Comic-Con, which took place less than a week ago, the horizon seems a lot less bleak as the course is set: two Avengers movies, Kang Dynasty followed by The Secret. Wars in 2025. The Marvel Studios boss calls it a “multiverse saga.”

A long-running story that, upon arrival, will span a little over four years and include the films and series of Phases IV, V, and VI. Where it took more than a decade to tell the story of the “Infinity Saga” that spanned Phases I, II, and III. in the given interview Comicbook.com Behind the panel at the event, Kevin Feige made a few announcements about the upcoming program, in particular, hinting at the character that everything will be based on.

Unsurprisingly, and like Thanos before him, it will be the big bad, Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors: “I told him that there were no other shoulders to rest the multiverse saga on than his– says the producer.What Jonathan Majors is able to do is very impressive, with all these different incarnations – or options if you will – of Kang. It’s pretty cool.”

It’s no easy task following Josh Brolin’s Thanos, but Kevin Feige isn’t worried: “What I like is that he is very different from Thanos. It’s not just about having a bigger purple guy with a helmet. No, it’s not Kang. Kang represents a different type of villain, and the fact that he is many, many characters is what makes him stand out and more exciting..”

America, America

Kang, seen in Loki’s Season 1 finale, will return in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in February, which should give us a little more insight into the threat he poses. Jonathan Majors isn’t currently attached to any other Marvel projects, but there’s no doubt that his shadow will be frozen, as his character can travel between dimensions, space and time.

Powers reminiscent of America’s Chavez power introduced in Doctor Strange’s Multiverse of Madness with his ability to travel to multiple universes. Therefore, a young woman may be given a key role, but her interpreter does not know anything about it at the moment, even if he is well aware of the potential of her character:

“I can’t ignore the fact that his powers allow him to travel to multiple universes and that the next chapter of the MCU is literally called the ‘Multiverse Saga.’Xochitl Gomes answered Insider.

Like Infinity War and Endgame, it would be surprising if the next Avengers movies didn’t try to bring together the MCU’s still-living heroes. This should allow Chavez to return to America, to the delight of his interpreter: “I think Kang Dynasty is going to be really cool because Kang looks like a super villain. I can’t wait to see what they plan for him and what he unleashes.”

“I hope that America will be in a project with Kang. I think that would be really cool and a lot of fun for me. I would love to be! There’s still a lot to tell in this story. Obviously, he still has a lot to learn about them, but also his own on the head and mothers”.

As expected, Kevin Feige’s revelations raise many questions. But we have to wait for all the answers.
