Some MCU fans are crafting storylines worthy of future Marvel Studios films, including a possible plotline for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Dr_Charisma took to the r/MarvelStudios subreddit to share an intriguing concept. They proposed that the upcoming film flex its multiversal muscles and show Kang The Conqueror defeating The Avengers in an alternate continuity before he enters the Earth 616 universe to faceoff with the original Avengers. They even posted a panel with actors passed over for roles like Pedro Pascal, Channing Tatum, Joaquin Phoenix, Alexander Skarsgard, Saoirse Ronan, and Timothée Chalamet.
Some fans responded to the post with disdain, pointing out that their idea was reminiscent of another Marvel movie. Gepreto didn’t mince words and called out the similarities between OP’s concept and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.
Another Redditor, Antolortiz, was more interested in Mephisto’s arrival in the MCU.
Other Redditors like t0sche found the idea reminiscent of a film from another franchise, Austin Powers: Goldmember, which featured a cameo of Tom Cruise playing Austin Powers.
A debate about the likelihood of Tom cruise entering the MCU as an alternate superhero doomed to be destroyed by Kang ensued.
Tripechake was fascinated that Channing Tatum almost landed the role of Captain America when they thought John Krasinski was the runner-up.
Grendel_The_Giant would have none of it and called OP’s idea “absurd.”
While the absurd can make things seem ridiculous, it can also make them extraordinary. Time will tell if Marvel plans to continue using the alternative superhero concept from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in other films. If so, chances are they’ll think of a way to make it phenomenal.
