PerDeadline, the highly-anticipated project has found its writer in Loveness, whose attachment to the project makes sense due to the screenwriter’s knowledge of the film’s emblematic supervillain, Kang the Conquer. The new antagonist, played by Jonathan Majors, will play a critical role inthe upcomingAnt-Manproject, making the screenwriters established connection with the character important for the supervillain’s development asAvengers: The Kang Dynastyapproaches. Not much beyond the title was clear when announced, but the picture forAvengers: The Kang Dynastyis slowly starting to materialize.
The news of the addition of Loveness follows earlier reporting of the hiring ofDestin Daniel Cretton to directthe upcoming project. Cretton previously directed the Marvel Studios filmShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which is currently available to stream on Disney Plus. The gears of development are slowly beginning to move as pieces find their place on the proverbial board. However, it is still unclear what notable heroes will face off against the galactic supervillain.
A significant amount of time must pass beforeAvengers: The Kang Dynastyofficially makes its theatrical arrival. Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is nearing its end with the Disney Plus original seriesShe-HulkandBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever. Phase 5 will jump-start with the long-awaited arrival ofAnt-Man and Wasp: Quantumania, which will hit theaters on February 17th next year, giving fans unfamiliar with Loveness their first glimpse at his talents. It will be intriguing to see what Loveness can do with the supervillain, which will hopefully build excitement for his central role in the nextAvengersfilm.
