Kevin Feige Says MCU Planned to Abandon Kang & Lead With Doctor Doom Long Before Jonathan Majors' Arrest
Kevin Feige has shed new light on one of the most game-changing creative shifts in the MCU, namely Marvel's decision to pivot from Kang the Conqueror to Doctor Doom, with the big boss suggesting that Marvel Studios might have started to course correct before the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Jonathan Majors' legal troubles. After Majors' cameo in the Loki Season 1 finale, it became clear that his Kang the Conqueror would be the lead villain of what Marvel Studios was calling the Multiverse Saga, taking over from Thanos and concluding with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. Yet, following the underperforming critical reaction and box office to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the arrest and later conviction of Majors, Marvel Studios announced that Robert Downey Jr. would return to the MCU, now playing Doctor Doom as the lead of Avengers: Doomsday.
