Despite his variants being central to the plot of
Loki, Kang hasn't been mentioned at all, but the genius reasoning for this has just been revealed by Marvel. Loki Season 2 has so far proved to be a real boon for the MCU and its Multiverse Saga, garnering critical acclaim and the viewership to prove it, and yet it has interestingly danced around any mention of the arch-villain's true name. He Who Remains and Victor Timely have, of course, been pretty central to the story of Season 2, but the reason for Kang's omission from the script, specifically, has a much deeper meaning that was revealed in its most recent episode.
Loki Season 2, Episode 5, entitled "Science/Fiction," was an incredibly consequential penultimate episode that saw Loki finally get to grips with his Time Slipping. This means he now has the ability to visit anywhere on any timeline pretty much at will, which places him and the rest of the TVA in a much better position to rectify the situation that saw the Temporal Loom overload and explode. The final episode of the series, meanwhile, is supposedly about to set up Kang in earnest - yet the arch-villain hasn't even been mentioned thus far.
