Kang... in Ant-Man??

I guess they are going full Quantum Realm time traveling stuff?

So surely Kang is the next Marvel big bad right? No way they waste him in Ant-Man on off?

This is odd lol

It actually will be interesting to see what they do with him. Thanos is dead twice over. They aren't using Magneto or any of the X-villains for a while. Doom and Galactus riding the bench with the Fantastic Four, so Kang's the next step I suppose. There's always Mephisto or Micheal Korvac if they really want to scrape the barrel.

I really wanted Kang as the next big MCU villain but that was before time travel shennanigans in End Game.


They just better not chump him out in ant-man lol

Kang should be the next big bad. I mean after Time Travel in End Game it makes sense. But if he is a jobber for Ant Man and the Wasp I am going to be pissed. I dont know much about Major but after looking him up people have good things to say about him so I am thinking it will work out.

I saw this on Twitter. A lot of folks brought up the fact that Kang, aka Nathanial Richards, is a descendant of Reed Richards, meaning whenever they cast Reed it might be a black actor they use this time. Folks seemed more excited over that prospect than, well, Kang himself. But casting Jonathan Majors opens up that possibility.

Hmm...those getting excited are definitely jumping the gun lol. We don't know if Kang will be a descendant of Richards in the mcu. Plus Richards can still be white and have a black descendent.

Well, I suppose that depends on if he has powers or not. Ant-Man has a tendency to get one over on black characters who don't have powers. I don't know a lot about Kang, other than that he's a time traveler and Mark Waid loves him.

Too late there's already fan castings. lol Only a matter of time before Giancarlo Esposito comes up.

ahh, so soon we will hear why reed freaking richards is everyones favorite character and you can't possible race bend him!

Ironically Marvel might be using a black actor to play Kang just so they don't look like, well, Ridley Scott when they revel he was Rama-Tut. It might not necessarily be in the spirit of inclusion but rather insurance against looking tone-deaf cause they plan on doing that particular storyline down the road.

So, agreed there, folks thinking this means a black Reed Richards might indeed be sadly mistaken.

X-Men is another can of worms, though. In order to see black characters they would have to race bend them, especially black male mutants. Either do that and face the ire of fanboys online, or don't and get the movie-going public going "So, its Storm, that's it for black characters?"

I'm curious how Marvel will handle it. Morbidly curious, but not enough to lose sleep over it.

Crazy. Disney acquired all those Marvel mutants and still only ended up with a single hand worth of Black characters. Might have a finger in change coming back to you depending on how you feel about that aboriginal brotha with the rock on the string that could open a portal. They better age-bend the **** out of Moses Magnum for the big screen.

Great point wasn’t thinking of that. Hopefully DC is smart enuff to do the same with the Potential Michael B Jordan Hawkman casting.. No need for anymore nonsense like we saw on the CW Legends involving Hawks & Kemet/Egypt Egypt be shown again.

Yes, please, and thank you for me!

Even sadder is if you look at the books that they sell under Disney Hyperion-they have a black lead book that they could use.

Tristan Strong punches a hole in the Sky. If you thought Black Panther was too black casted. African gods and black American folklore. Ava should have did this instead of a Wrinkle in Time.
