Giancarlo Esposito Becomes The MCU"s New Kang In Epic Marvel Art

Summary

• Giancarlo Esposito's fan art as Kang the Conqueror sparks speculation about his role in the MCU's Multiverse Saga.
• Marvel Studios has not confirmed Esposito's casting, leaving fans to wonder about the future of Kang in the franchise.
• The possibility of recasting Kang and shifting him away as the main villain of the Multiverse Saga raises questions and intrigue.

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty fan art imagines Giancarlo Esposito as the new version of Kang the Conqueror for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following the end of The Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios has been tapping into the concept of alternative realities through The Multiverse Saga. Throughout the recent MCU movies and TV shows, several new actors have joined the franchise as various heroes and villains.
Earlier this month, Esposito revealed he's joined the MCU in a mystery role, as the world is now trying to figure out who he might be playing in the franchise. In a collab piece, AkiTheFull and Zippexe shared artwork of Esposito and what he could look like as Kang the Conqueror for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
For the time being, Marvel Studios has not commented on Esposito's casting for the MCU, despite him saying that people will see him "sooner rather than later." While Kang the Conqueror is serving as the main enemy for The Multiverse Saga, his fate is currently unknown.
Related 10 Questions That The MCU Might Never Answer About Kang With Jonathan Majors dropped from the franchise and the MCU reportedly moving away from his character, there are many unanswered questions about Kang.
Is The MCU Actually Recasting Kang The Conqueror? Close Ever since the firing of Jonathan Majors, it has been unclear what is going on with Kang for the rest of The Multiverse Saga. The character, nor any of his variants, have appeared in any recent MCU movies or TV shows since Loki season 2, as no actor has taken over the role yet. Supposedly, Marvel Studios is looking to recast Kang, even though there are also reportedly now referring to Avengers: The Kang Dynasty as simply Avengers 5.
It's possible that while the MCU is recasting Kang, they may be trying to shift him away as the big bad of The Multiverse Saga and instead have a different Marvel foe serve as the central antagonist of this arc. However, given that the story has already invested a lot of time into Kang, it would be strange to recast him only to suddenly cut him off before The Multiverse Saga comes to an end. At the very least, they may have Kang operate together with one or more big Marvel villains as a league of foes against the entire multiverse.
If Esposito were to have been cast as Kang, it would be a massive casting for the MCU, as he is an incredibly talented actor who could do some terrific work as an iconic Marvel villain. At the same time, it would also be fun to see Esposito play a Marvel superhero, especially if Kang is potentially getting written out as the main villain of The Multiverse Saga. Hopefully, the Kang situation will get cleared up before the end of 2024, especially if Avengers 5 is looking to start filming in the foreseeable future.
