Recasting sounds fine.
Would've been the easiest recast to do, since they've already established multiversial counterparts don't always look the same.
Ms Kang would be kind of epic. Like Hela on steroids.
I'm hoping we get an Iron Lad variant for Armor Wars. It would be a neat twist if you had a Kang variant wearing futuristic Stark armor facing off against a Stark variant that became Doom. They're obviously building towards a Young Avengers movie, anyway.
My pipe dream hope is a recast with John Boyega. He doesn’t look jarringly different from Majors and he’s got the acting chops for the range of personalities that Kang has shown so far. Incidentally, it also would make him and his Star Wars costar Oscar Isaac Marvel multiverse buddies. The main problem would be if he has a chip on his shoulder with Disney for how his role was treated in Star Wars. It would be a waste to drop the character and all of the setup and have it affect the flow and potential of the film series.
Yeah, I think Marvel went into panic mode and tried to save face as much as they could. But, if you ask me, obliterating a multiversal threat that easily was so stupid. I mean, recasting sounds so much more natural than bringing your 60 yrs old Phase 1 icon back like a Tony Stark variant - or something like that.
Just think about it. The Kang army, all of his knowledge and powers, his connection with Reed Richards. So much potential wasted.
And yeah, Boyega would have been great as Kang.
