Avengers: The Kang Dynasty writer Jeff Loveness hypes the threat of Kang and promises to put the good guys in the ringer. Loveness chatted recently with SFX Magazine about his upcoming movies Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. However Loveness is also writing The Kang Dynasty and hyped up his big bad in both, Kang.
Loveness begins by talking about just how you follow Thanos?
“To me it’s all about the humanity. Obviously Thanos is a great, iconic villain, but he’s also a big purple CGI guy. He’s an alien from outer space. The thing I really wanted to lean into is that Kang is a human being.”
He adds: “Kang’s also a very lonely character. We’re going to be seeing a lot of him in a lot of different ways going forward, but I really wanted to introduce the humanity and even the vulnerability of this character before he gets to such apocalyptic, Avengers-scale heights.”

The stage will bet set, says Loveness, to throw our new MCU heroes into the fire.
“Kang is a top-tier, A-list Avengers villain,” Loveness teases about his direction. “What do you do when you feel you’re not enough against that? How do you step up to face the challenge of this generation, who is Thanos on an exponential level? He’s almost this infinite Thanos. I think we’re setting things up for a pretty dynamic story. As I’m building to Avengers I want it to feel like a generational struggle. Phase 4 felt like the birth of new characters. You’re giving everyone a little bit of a breath, you’re broadening out the universe, you have fun Disney Plus shows that are elevating characters. And now I think it’s time to put the pedal to the gas again, and really take all these new characters that we like and throw them into the fire.”
I look forward to seeing it eventually. First though we get to see one version of Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, out soon. What do you think as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty writer Jeff Loveness hypes the threat of Kang and promises to put the good guys in the ringer? Thoughts below as always.
