AVENGERS: THE KANG DYNASTY Would've Delivered a Massive Spider-Man Multiverse, Ghost Rider, and Battleworld Chaos
Before Marvel Studios hit the brakes and reworked its Avengers roadmap, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty was shaping up to be one of the most Spider-Man driven events the MCU has ever attempted.
New details tied to the now-scrapped film reveal a Multiversal epic packed with multiple Spider-Men, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and the catastrophic creation of Battleworld.
Kang was positioned as the next great MCU threat the moment He Who Remains appeared at the end of Loki Season 1. The character was meant to loom larger than Thanos, controlling timelines and reshaping reality itself.
That momentum stalled fast after Kang the Conqueror was introduced in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, where he was defeated far earlier than expected.
The situation unraveled further when Jonathan Majors was removed from the role following his highly publicized legal issues. Even with Season 2 of Loki expanding the mythology through Victor Timely and another appearance by He Who Remains, the larger Kang arc was left without a clear ending.
Marvel Studios ultimately pivoted away from Kang entirely, choosing Doctor Doom as the new central threat for the next phase of Avengers films. The Kang Dynasty was retooled into Avengers: Doomsday, leaving fans wondering what was lost along the way.
According to insider @MyTimeToShineH, the abandoned version leaned hard into Spider-Man and the Multiverse, using a concept that could have radically changed how the MCU operates. It’s explained:
“In this film, the TVA began gathering Anchor Beings from across the Multiverse, believing they are the only ones powerful enough to defeat the Council of Kangs. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were the Anchors for their respective realities, while Tom Holland’s Spider-Man served as the Anchor for Earth-616.”
That would have made Peter Parker the emotional core of the story, especially Tom Holland’s version, who would’ve carried the weight of Earth-616 on his shoulders. We then learn:
“The movie was intended to be smaller in scope compared to Secret Wars, focusing more on Holland's Peter Parker, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, and other Anchors like Nic Cage's Ghost Rider.”
Instead of jumping straight into an all-hands-on-deck Multiversal collision, this film would’ve narrowed its focus to a select group of iconic heroes, many of them legacy characters, brought together for one last stand against Kang and his Variants.
That stand, however, wasn’t meant to succeed.
“The plan was for all of them to ultimately fail, leading to the collapse of the Multiverse and Kang’s creation of Battleworld. This would then set the stage for Secret Wars, where other MCU characters and additional Multiverse figures would converge on Battleworld.”
It’s a bleak story that mirrors the comic roots of Secret Wars while letting Kang reshape existence before the final chapter. While Kang is gone, the endgame doesn’t appear to have changed much. Battleworld still seems to be the destination, only now Doctor Doom is expected to be the architect of that destruction.
Comparing these plans to what we know about Avengers: Doomsday, the Anchor Being concept appears to be abandoned, and the big Spider-Men reunion looks to be held back for the 2027 event. That later film is expected to lean fully into Variants, with Michael Waldron still involved creatively, meaning pieces of these ideas could resurface in a new form.
For now, the MCU marches forward with Avengers: Doomsday hitting theaters on December 18, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.
What The Kang Dynasty could’ve been sounds wild, character-driven, and packed with fan-favorite heroes. What do you think about these details?
