A Fascinating Fan Theory Offers a Clever Solution for the MCU’s Kang Dilemma

Do you remember Jonathan Majors, the actor originally cast as Kang in the MCU and billed as the franchise’s “next Thanos”? As we recently reported, Majors was found guilty of assaulting his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, leading to his conviction and a sentence for a 52-week domestic violence intervention program. This legal trouble has severely impacted his career.

Majors was not only dropped from his role as Kang but his character was also written out of the MCU storyline. Victor Von Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., is set to take his place. Despite the absence of Majors, Kang remains a significant issue for the MCU.

With the planned Avengers showdown against Kang now on hold or canceled, the MCU faces a dilemma about how to handle the character’s future. Fortunately, a compelling fan theory might offer a creative resolution.

The theory we’re discussing was put forward by Reddit user _mattforbes, who outlined it as follows:

Fantastic Four could be set in the same universe in which all the Kang variants chose for Planet Kang or whatever planet they gather on in Quantumania.

Cold open of Fantastic Four is the same clip from Quantumania slide fo huge frame pull to space where we see Galactus eat the planet and kill all the Kangs. Boom. Galactus is established early as a major threat and no one needs to thread a Kang storyline.

This idea is definitely intriguing, and it’s not just us who think so. Here are some of the fan reactions to this theory:

I think it’s more likely they’ll show the threat level of Galactus by having him show up on Zenn-la and give us the Silver Surfer origin story. But IG technically they can always have Silver Surfer just give a flashback too. I think them showing the Galactus killing all the Kangs would be awesome and hilarious, but I think they’ll probably save that for the beginning of Doomsday.

Yea that’s cool, or I was thinking recreate the doom killing Thanos panel from secret wars, but with the Kang(s) instead

That would be really badass, but the general fan theory is (if they even address it cause they might not bother) that Doom will kill them all and assert himself as a dangerous threat.

Shouldn’t assume that the Kangs were on a planet or even in the normal timestream.

Remember, the TVA was built in a higher time dimension, enabling them to see a conceptual image of the timelines as thread.

I still think Kang will get a new actor and that was Marvel’s plan all along. For me Kang has always been an ally of Doom except that we haven’t seen him. I can’t imagine him making Kang disappear like magic.
