how many have Kang the Conqueror variants are in
MCU?
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU),
there have been two different versions of Kang the Conqueror. The first version
was played by Jonathan Majors in the Disney+ series "Loki." This
version of Kang is known as He Who Remains, and he is the ruler of the TVA
(Time Variance Authority) who controls the flow of time in the MCU. He Who
Remains is not strictly a villain, but rather a complex character with his own
motivations and agenda.
The second version of Kang in the MCU is
also played by Jonathan Majors, but this time as the classic version of the
character. This version of Kang is set to appear in the upcoming film
"Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania," which is scheduled for release in
2023. It is unclear what role Kang will play in the film, but his appearance is
highly anticipated by Marvel fans.
It is worth noting that while these two versions of Kang are both played by Jonathan Majors, they are separate characters with different personalities and motivations. The MCU has a long history of introducing different versions of characters from the comics, and it will be interesting to see how these two versions of Kang fit into the larger story of the MCU.
At this time, it is not clear if there will
be any additional versions of Kang the Conqueror in the MCU. However, given the
character's popularity in the comics and the upcoming debut of the classic
version in "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania," it is certainly
possible that we may see more of Kang in future Marvel projects.
Kang the Conqueror is a fascinating
character with a rich history in the comics, and his introduction to the MCU
has the potential to open up a whole new realm of storytelling possibilities.
Whether he remains a complex anti-hero or becomes a full-fledged villain,
Kang's presence is sure to have a major impact on the future of the MCU.
It will be interesting to see how Kang's
story continues to unfold in upcoming Marvel projects, and how his actions and
motivations will shape the future of the MCU. With the introduction of new
characters and concepts like the multiverse, it seems likely that Kang's
influence on the MCU will only continue to grow in the years to come.
