Why Doctor Doom Should End The Kang Storyline In "Avengers: Doomsday"

With Kang’s Actor Found Guilty Of Assault And The Character Falling Flat, Doctor Doom Offers A Perfect Reset

Marvel’s ambitious plans for Kang the Conqueror have hit a wall. The actor portraying Kang, Jonathan Majors, was recently found guilty of assault, casting a shadow over the character’s future. On top of that, Kang failed to resonate with fans, lacking the menace and impact that villains like Thanos delivered. Instead of forcing a recast, Marvel has an opportunity to pivot toward a more compelling villain: Doctor Doom who will be played Robert Downey Jr. who returns to the MCU after previously portraying Tony Stark.

Imagine “Avengers: Doomsday” opening with a scene in the arena where various Kang variants gather, plotting their next conquest. From the shadows emerges Doctor Doom. With a devastating blend of sorcery and advanced technology, Doom eliminates every Kang variant in the area. In one swift move, the Kang storyline ends, and a new era of villainy begins.

This bold choice accomplishes two key goals:

1. Resolve the Kang Dilemma: No awkward recasting or forced storylines. Doom wipes out Kang’s presence organically, solving the real-world issue caused by Majors' conviction.

   
   

2. Introduce a Worthy Villain: Doctor Doom is a fan-favorite villain with far greater depth and potential than Kang. His combination of intellect, magic, and sheer ambition makes him a formidable multiversal threat.

   
   

Doom’s entrance can also lay the foundation for Secret Wars, where he rules a shattered multiverse known as Battleworld. This pivot respects the existing MCU trajectory while exciting fans for the future.

Doctor Doom isn’t just a narrative fix—he’s the key to revitalizing the MCU and delivering the epic storytelling audiences crave.
