Kang has begun discussing his dynasty.Image: Marvel StudiosWith nine Marvel movies set to release before the next Avengers film, The Kang Dynasty, there’s not much anyone can say about it. Two of the things we do know about it however are that Kang, played by Jonathan Majors, will be in it, and Shang-Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton will be directing.

ONE HOUR DANCING ZEMO | Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier | Disney+It is a crime that Daniel Bruhl’s Zemo, one of, if not the, most fascinating villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t part of the Thunderbolts, especially when Bucky Barnes somehow is.

Image: Marvel StudiosMarvel’s D23 presentation yesterday gave us our first look at what appears to be the full team headlining 2024's Thunderbolts film. Though it sports previous MCU antagonists like Ghost from Ant-Man & the Wasp and Black Widow’s Taskmaster, it’s not exactly what you’d call “villainous”: from Falcon & Winter Soldier’s US Agent to Yelena Belova and Bucky Barnes, most of the roster are people who’ve been manipulated by the government of their country, and Ghost only turned to villainy to not die.…

Image: Marvel StudiosThe Avengers sub-franchise of the MCU occupies a strange spot in the larger series. Though the original 2012 film was where that first batch of movies was building up to, and ended Phase One, the same couldn’t be said of its sequels. 2015's Age of Ultron released mid-Phase Two, and though the duology of Infinity War and Endgame were the final chapters of what was later dubbed the “Infinity Saga,” they didn’t actually close things out. That duty went to Spider-Man: Far From Home a few months…
