Despite being years away, the main writer of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, Jeff Loveness, has already hinted that new MCU heroes from Phase 4 will appear in the film.

Given that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will be facing Kang the Conqueror in Avengers 5, a large cast is anticipated. Which precise characters will take part in the battle is still a mystery.

Phase 4 heroes including Sam Wilson’s Captain America and Shuri’s Black Panther were rumored to make an appearance, and Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu appeared to confirm his participation when he expressed enthusiasm for working with Avengers 5 director Destin Daniel Cretton once more.

The writer of the film has already revealed what to anticipate with regard to the presence of these characters in Avengers 5.

Writer of Avengers 5 Teases Phase 4 Heroes of the MCU Participation

Writer of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Jeff Loveness discussed the new characters from Phase 4.

How they would be included in the next crossover movie with SFX Magazine, which was made available through GamesRadar.

Phase 4 opened the door for “the birth of new characters,” according to Loveness‘ initial impressions of it.

“As I’m building to Avengers I want it to feel like a generational struggle. Phase 4 felt like the birth of new characters. You’re giving everyone a little bit of a breath, you’re broadening out the universe, you have fun Disney Plus shows that are elevating characters.”

The Avengers 5 reviewer then stated that these characters would be “thrown into the flames,” which refers to their participation in the conflict with Kang the Conqueror:

“And now I think it’s time to put the pedal to the gas again, and really take all these new characters that we like and throw them into the fire.”

Kang was then talked up by Loveness, who called him “nearly this endless Thanos”:

“Kang is a top-tier, A-list Avengers villain. What do you do when you feel you’re not enough against that? How do you step up to face the challenge of this generation, who is Thanos on an exponential level? He’s almost this infinite Thanos.”

Peyton Reed, the director of Ant-Man 3 and The Kang Dynasty, hinted at how Quantumania will set up Avengers 5 in a separate interview with Empire.

He noted that The Kang Dynasty’s writer is also working on the threequel and said that “there are tremendous things in store”:

“I think it has a profound impact on the MCU. Jeff Loveness, who wrote this movie, is writing The Kang Dynasty as well, so there’s been a lot of discussion about the impact that this appearance of Kang The Conqueror makes. There are big things in store.”

What Phase 4 Heroes Will Form the Avengers 5 Team?

Despite the fact that Jeff Loveness, the writer of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, will have a big job managing all the heroes who will be in the film.

His most recent comments suggest that he already has a plan for how they will be interwoven into the narrative.

This is significant given that Loveness has the enormous burden of fusing the new Phase 4 heroes with well-known ones like Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange.

Additionally, Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors, will now have a larger role, comparable to how Thanos was elevated in Avengers: Infinity War.

Loveness’ remarks about “throwing the Phase 4 heroes into the fire” imply that they will participate in the conflict right away, causing the Avengers to unexpectedly come together to battle Kang.

The team might suffer if they do this, which Kang may have planned to give him the benefit.

In any case, it is anticipated that the new characters from Phase 4 will be essential to saving the Multiverse.

On May 2, 2025, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will have its theatrical debut.
