Forget Kang, The MCU"s Next Thanos Replacement Is Getting A Worthy Villain Build-Up

Summary

• Kingpin, not Kang, is being set up as the new villain to replace Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He draws parallels in terms of personality and influence.
• Like Thanos, Kingpin is being built up through various appearances before his official villain debut. He has already had considerable screen time and is confirmed to appear in upcoming MCU projects.
• Kingpin's grounded and human threat brings something new to the MCU, offering a relatable villain with similar energy to Thanos. It's a departure from cosmic threats and adds depth to the franchise.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is setting up a new villain to take Thanos’ place, and it is surprisingly not Kang. Kingpin might seem like just a crime lord from New York City, but he actually draws plenty of similarities to the Mad Titan. The character was first introduced in Daredevil but made his official MCU Kingpin debut in Hawkeye. Wilson Fisk is a powerful businessman and crime lord who has great influence in New York City, as Hawkeye showed how his influence affected characters like Clint Barton and Maya Lopez.
Though Kang is the obvious villain being set up as the Multiverse Saga’s final battle, Kingpin is the one who feels more like a successor to Thanos. There are plenty of parallels between the two characters already in terms of personality and influence. Especially since Kingpin is confirmed to play a role in upcoming MCU projects, it’s safe to say that he will be sticking around for a while and there is time to build up his reign.
