Marvel could be considering replacing Kang the Conqueror with Doctor Doom as the Multiverse Saga's main villain after Jonathan Majors was fired. Deadpool 3 would be the perfect way to do so. The movie will deal with the multiverse, and through that it could replace Kang, either by picking a version of the Fantastic Four villain from another universe to come to the MCU, or by coming up with an explanation for the demise of all Kangs — possibly in connection to the movie's rumored TVA presence — that would open the door for the MCU's Doom to rise.

Following Strange's travels through the multiverse in the movie, the character could have started a domino effect that will connect with Deadpool 3.

3 Deadpool 3 Retcons The MCU’s Kang The Conqueror Variants Into Looking Different Jonathan Majors Has Been Fired From The MCU Close So far, every Kang variant has been played by Majors. However, now that the actor has been fired, that will have to change
. In order to continue using Kang the Conqueror as the Multiverse Saga's main villain, the MCU can recast his most important variants for Deadpool 3.
