Avengers: The Kang Dynasty: Rumored Plot Includes Spider-Man and Ghost Rider

Before Marvel cancelled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and changed its plans for the Multiverse Saga, the movie was apparently designed to show everything going wrong.

Instead of being a huge, sprawling event like Endgame, the film was intentionally crafted as a smaller, more direct setup for Secret Wars.

Rumors suggest that The Kang Dynasty wasn’t originally planned as a victory for the heroes. Instead, the film was intended to demonstrate the inevitable downfall of the Multiverse.

The TVA and the Rise of Anchor Beings

The story focused on the Time Variance Authority learning about specific people throughout the Multiverse who were identified as “Anchor Beings.”

These characters were thought to be fundamentally connected to their worlds, and their lives were crucial for those universes to continue existing.

As a huge fan of the show, I understood that the TVA’s desperate move – collecting these ‘Anchor Beings’ – was their final attempt to prevent the escalating danger from the Council of Kangs. It felt like everything hinged on finding these people, and it really raised the stakes!

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man was the central figure for the main Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-616), similar to how Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men were the key heroes in their own separate movie universes.

The movie focused on Peter Parker’s emotional journey, showing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man stepping up as a leader while still processing the events of No Way Home.

A Smaller Avengers Movie With Multiverse Heavy Hitters

While Secret Wars was always designed to be a huge, sprawling event, the initial plan for The Kang Dynasty was for it to be a more contained story.

The focus was reportedly on a select group of Anchor Beings rather than the entire MCU roster.

There were rumors that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider would appear, and the TVA saw them as key to their plan.

The goal was to make the story focus on individual characters and their experiences, linking them closely to the idea of the Multiverse without relying too heavily on celebrity appearances.

Total Failure and the Birth of Battleworld

The most surprising part of the potential storyline is that the heroes weren’t actually supposed to win. Even with the TVA trying to help and the strength of the Anchor Beings, the Council of Kangs would still be victorious.

This failure was believed to have caused the Multiverse to unravel. As realities started to crumble, Kang assembled Battleworld – a realm built from the pieces of those destroyed universes.

This devastating conclusion was planned to lead immediately into Avengers: Secret Wars, bringing together the remaining heroes and their alternate selves for a last, epic battle.

Why Marvel Abandoned the Plan

Marvel decided to cancel The Kang Dynasty movie after internal changes, primarily because they chose a different direction for their main villain.

The movie was reworked and renamed Avengers: Doomsday, with the story now centering on Doctor Doom. However, it seems some ideas from the original Battleworld storyline were still included.

If the reports are true, The Kang Dynasty movie would have been unusually bleak for an Avengers film. It was apparently intended as a major setback for the heroes, meant to dramatically change the direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and essentially start the story over after Endgame.

What does the rumor say?

Via MyTimeToShine on X:

AVENGERS: THE KANG DYNASTY was planned as a story where the TVA identified powerful individuals – called Anchor Beings – from different universes, hoping they could defeat a group of Kangs. These Anchors included Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men, and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man from our universe. The movie would have primarily focused on these heroes, along with characters like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider. However, the plan was for them to be defeated, causing the Multiverse to fall apart and Kang to build a new world called Battleworld. This destruction would have led directly into the events of SECRET WARS, bringing together even more heroes and characters from across the Multiverse on Battleworld.
