the upcoming Avengers movies with Doom being the new Big Bad, but many fans are left to wonder, what about Khang the Conqueror? “Kang would have been one of the best villains in the MCU might be a little better than Dr.Doom but Dr.Doom is an ok addition.”-Kevin C

 

While Ant Man:Quantumania flopped, grossing, 476.1 Million world wide, the Introduction to the Villain being a Multiversal Conqueror really sparked the fans interest, & with Loki being such a huge success giving Khang a likable character, it made many want to see more of Khang.
