Avengers 5, titled The Kang Dynasty, has been highly anticipated by Marvel fans. Recent developments in the Marvel universe have provided us with more insights into what we can expect from this upcoming film.
During Marvel's massive Comic-Con 2022 panel, the title was officially announced, along with the exciting news that there will be not just one, but two Avengers movies. Avengers: Secret Wars was initially scheduled to follow in November 2025, but it has been delayed and will now release in May 2026.
Avengers: Secret Wars will mark the end of Marvel's The Multiverse Saga, but let's focus on The Kang Dynasty for now. Here's everything you need to know about Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty.
Avengers 5 Release Date: When to Expect The Kang Dynasty
The highly anticipated Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is set to hit theaters on May 2, 2025, barring any changes to the release schedule. Avengers: Secret Wars, originally planned for November 7, 2025, will now premiere one year later on May 5, 2026.
While the filming schedule is yet to be revealed, we do know that the script for The Kang Dynasty is being written by Jeff Loveness, known for his work on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the film will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who helmed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Avengers 5 Cast: Who Might Appear in The Kang Dynasty
Given the title, it's highly likely that Jonathan Majors' Kang will play a significant role in The Kang Dynasty. As for the rest of the cast, it remains a mystery.
The original Avengers team has undergone significant changes, with Black Widow and Iron Man no longer present, Captain America now an elderly man, and Thor venturing into space with the Guardians. However, the Avengers lineup has always been fluid, allowing for the inclusion of various MCU heroes.
Brie Larson's Captain Marvel could potentially lead the new iteration of the Avengers, considering her prominent role in the MCU. Other heroes like Spider-Man, Valkyrie, War Machine, Winter Soldier, and Doctor Strange are still part of the universe, leaving room for a fresh team lineup.
There have been rumors about the introduction of teams like the New Avengers, Young Avengers, or even the Dark Avengers. Marvel might also explore options like the West Coast Avengers or the Great Lakes Avengers, offering opportunities to continue and refresh the Avengers legacy.
Introducing diverse characters like the Young Avengers, who represent different backgrounds and identities, would be a significant step toward better representation in the MCU. The recent inclusion of Kate Bishop in the Hawkeye Disney+ series hints at the possibility of her leading the Young Avengers in future films.
Avengers 5 Plot: What to Expect in The Kang Dynasty
While there is no official confirmation about the plot of Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty, clues from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania shed some light on what's to come. The film introduced Kang in the Quantum Realm, where he was seemingly crushed to death while attempting to escape.
However, the mid-credit scene revealed the existence of a council of Kangs, including the true big bad, Immortus. With Immortus summoning all the Kangs, it's likely that The Kang Dynasty will focus on their efforts to protect what they have built and stop anyone who threatens their power.
