Kang the Conqueror and Doctor Strange in the MCU's Multiverse Saga
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Marvel Studios' upcoming Avengers 5 will feature the biggest cast of returning MCU characters the franchise has ever seen, but this creates a huge problem for the Phase 6 crossover movie. Avengers 5, originally titled The Kang Dynasty, was expected to pit the MCU's new team of Avengers against Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror and his villainous variants.
There Have Been No Multiverse Saga Avengers Movies To Set Up Avengers 5’s 60 Returning Characters Close When Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed the development of Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2022, these crossover movies were billed to conclude the entire Multiverse Saga. Typically, Avengers movies have been used to bring Phases of the MCU to a close, but the Multiverse Saga changed things, altering the way the franchise's formula works.
This poses a huge issue when faced with the prospect of having 60 MCU characters return in Avengers 5, as the movie has had no predecessors to set up and develop the new Avengers team. There has been speculation that Sam Wilson's Captain America could form the new Avengers team in 2025's Captain America: Brave New World, but this may be too little, too late.
The current titleholders of the biggest casts in the MCU are Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, which brought the Infinity Saga to a close by featuring almost every major hero returning to battle Thanos. These movies worked so well, however, because they didn't need to deliver a lot of exposition regarding the Avengers' history. Phases 1 and 2 ended with smaller, more personal Avengers movies that helped to establish the superhero team as a consistent and well-known presence in the MCU.
