Avengers Kang Dynasty (May 2025) and Avengers Secret Wars (November 2025) announced
- Thread starter Helix

Hopefully that's the case going forward and they don't double down on intertwining the shows and the movies too much like WandaVision -> Multiverse of Madness, because I honestly feel that the shows are not up to par so far (mind you, I only watched up till Moon Knight). I don't want to be forced to watch every single show to understand the upcoming MCU movies tbh.
As a casual MCU watcher that doesn't know anything about the comics I loved the whole Infinity Saga (Phase 1-3). And I think a big reason for it was because it was way more focused in characters and story. In phase 1-3 we got 3 Iron Man movies, 3 Captain America movies, 3 Thor movies, 2 GotG movies, 2 Spiderman movies (heck even 2 Ant-Man movies now that I think about it) and then further appearances of them in the Avengers movies in-between. I felt like we got to explore the characters much more in-depth and see their growth throughout the whole Saga. Sure, we got some stand-alone heroes and their movies with Dr. Strange, Cap Marvel, Black Panther, but they were always presented more of side-characters helping the main cast.
Now with what I've seen so far of the upcoming movies, it feels like they just pump out a ton of single new characters with stand-alone movies without building a "main cast" so to speak? I'm really confused since people also seem to be saying that the old characters won't really be relevant anymore?
Well the ending of Ms. Marvel leads directly into The Marvels, so...
In Loki yeah, but the Ant-Man poster shows he'll be much more comic accurate in that.

Would've preferred someone with a sharper nose, so he'd look something like this :
People that were there seemed to enjoy his appearance in the ant-man trailer, should be fine.

....Uh not at all, very different faces. The worst thing about Majors Kang is that his expression is constantly ¨peaceful/wise¨ in every showing, he doesnt look like a threat at all.
Uhhhhh…Would've preferred someone with a sharper nose, so he'd look something like this :
There is zero ounce of being menacing or evil, zilch. What does a completely relaxed face say to you? Just imagine the expression with actual pupils and it doesnt seem villainous at all.

LMAO. This is hilarious. "Movie was great but I am not sure about Kangs nose"
Um that wasn't recent. Kang has been know to be Nathaniel Richards for a very, very, very long time in the comics.

I'm holding back my judgment until we get a better look at his knees.
Yeah its not a very good "criticism" lol saying a black man's nose isn't right when he's cast to play a white character
Kang is often quite stoic he's not always a raging madman. Majors can do it all.
Would've preferred someone with a sharper nose, so he'd look something like this :
Yeah no offense but this is dumb.
Majors is the best choice.
It doesn't matter, I don't think most of the actors have the same sort of face shapes as their comic counterpartWould've preferred someone with a sharper nose, so he'd look something like this :
Am I not allowed to have preferences like everyone else?
They kind of have to do KD and SW back to back in one year because what could take place in between those two movies? Obviously after KD there's not going to be a "meanwhile, someplace else..." for another film to take place in.
"Oh no, 3 years until the next IW/EG which will be back to back in the same year."
The people who were adults when Iron Man 1 came out, probably see this wait differently.

You are allowed. It's just a real weird preference and people are gonna comment on it
Is it really a weird preference to want an actor to look more similar to the character they're interpreting?
lol you can have any preference you want, but that doesn't mean people can't criticize your opinion, especially when it's such an incredibly minor nitpick
It's weird to fixate on his nose not being sharp enough, yeah
Oh my God, two new avengers movies announced and a whole page is dedicated to complaining about the villain's nose
I don't get it, Robert Downey Junior didn't look that much like the old Tony Stark comics facial wise. I bet Kang in the comics ends up looking more like Jonathan Majors.
Good for the actor, but the imagery of MCU Kang doesn´t really reflect anything as villainous as say MCU Thanos.
Depends which Tony Stark you're talking about and I think Robert looks similar to most of them.
Chill.This has nothing to do with him being black.They could've picked a different black actor and I wouldn't have cared.
And I don't care about that.
You have based your total criticism of Jonathan Major's ability to play this part on his very Black nose. You made that choice.
He has dark hair and he's white but not really.Depends which Tony Stark you're talking about and I think Robert looks similar to most of them.
Looked enough like 2000s that it was fine, 2010s took a very odd turn thoughDepends which Tony Stark you're talking about and I think Robert looks similar to most of them.
As I said before, this has nothing to do with him being black so chill.
Depends which Tony Stark you're talking about and I think Robert looks similar to most of them.
None of those look anything like RDJ.
Like what the hell.
💀💀💀Depends which Tony Stark you're talking about and I think Robert looks similar to most of them.
If your complaint is about his nose then yes. Especially since smaller details like that always changes depending on the artist in the comic.
Dude has like four different noses across six pictures and even more different jawlinesDepends which Tony Stark you're talking about and I think Robert looks similar to most of them.
Not even your strawman makes sense
Are you a neural network what's been trained on white faces only?!
I think it's supposed to be more Howard Hughes
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.Now if any of you want to keep discussing about this, feel free to PM me instead of derailing the whole thread.
I know nothing about comics Kang, and nothing about the Secret Wars storyline. And since I don't know how they get there, as everything in phase 4 seems kind of disjointed as of yet I'm very excited for the journey ahead. I also expect a ton of "small" crossovers/cameos across the coming shows and movies to advance the overall plot.
I also want to chip in to a discussion I read earlier in one of today's Marvel threads.
I also don't think the Avengers will be a fixed team, but an ensemble of different characters from the movies. And the Avengers name of these movies is more like a signal for the casual audience that "this is the big crossover blockbuster you have been waiting for."

I'm just...i'm just gonna come back to this thread a few pages later, once we're past the nose discussion
FWIW I'm loving Majors as Kang, have zero doubt he'll nail the role.
