The Loki Season 2 Ending Set Up The Perfect Way For Marvel To Move On From Kang
Initially , the TVA had captured rogue var. of any origin and pruned their timeline , ensuring the Sacred Timeline did n’t branch out into the multiverse . AfterLokiseason 2 and the organisation of Loki ’s new multiverse , however , the TVA now manoeuver as a guard dog for Kang variants . This is in an endeavour to prevent the prophesizedMultiversal War that He Who remain spoke of . This ending mean the TVA could continue to distribute with Kang chance variable off - concealment , and the villain does n’t ever need to be mentioned again on - sieve .
Did Marvel Already Plan To Replace Kang Before Loki Season 2?
A February clause fromThe Hollywood Reportersuggested that Marvel Studios has set plans to move on from Kang ’s storyline into movement afterAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniaunderperformedat the box office . This could mean thatLokiseason 2 ’s ending was deliberately designed to be an ending for Kang , allowing the TVA to handle his variant off - screenwhile a new scoundrel , Doctor Doom , replaces him . However , Lokiproducer Kevin Wright revealed toVarietyin October that the serial had no reshoots , have in mind the end was always planned that way .
No . This is maybe — not maybe — this is the first Marvel series to never have any extra picture taking . The story that is on cover is the story we set out to make . We went out there with a very specific estimate of what we want this to be , and we find a elbow room to tell it in that production period . It ’s very much what ’s on covert on Disney+ .
Are There Any Loose Ends About Kang The MCU Needs To Tie Up?
Of naturally , Marvel Studios could simply never mention Kang again , proceed on from his tale swiftly , and setting the microscope stage forRobert Downey Jr. ’s debut as Doctor Doom , instead . Every Kang variant that the MCU ’s hero have come in liaison with has been killed off or had their narrative resolve , so , from the heroes ' perspective , Kang ’s tale is already over . However , from an hearing perspective , several elements of Kang ’s MCU journeying palpate bare , which will only become more irritating as sentence snuff it on .
The massive updates provided by Marvel Studios at San Diego Comic - Con 2024 reveal two new MCU villains that are even more powerful than Thanos .
Ant - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania’sCouncil of Kangs tease a huge threat to the Avengers , Moon Knighthinted at a connexion between Marc Spector and Rama - Tut , Ravonna Renslayer’sLokiseason 2 ending was left open , and He Who Remains promised a destructive Multiversal War . None of these stories have been resolved , while there are also possibility that Kang the Conqueror himself could return after his evident death inAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumania . These at large death could be dealt with by the TVA off - screen , but it would be keen to see them completed in the MCU itself .
