    Personally hope they just recast and say fuck him tbh. Not many villains are on Kang’s level, and we’ve already seen from covid what happens when Marvel has to respond to a massive shift in plans.

      I’m hoping though, that loki 2 were signs of them having got a plan B though. At least if those scenes towards the end were reshoots. If they were in the original script, then it’s just a lucky coincidence it looks that way.

      Hopefully with a potential recast they can get away with the abysmal portrayal in ant man and have this new version not linked to that one at all.

      I was never familiar with him in the comics, but the MCU has so far made him seem ineffective and weak. I’d rather they just end it and move on to the next big bad

        Yeah, they made a bad job out of showing that he’s basically evil Tony Stark with 30the century tech.
