All this dude had to do was not be an abusive prick and he would've come out the other side of the MCU with more money than some small countries but he couldn't even manage that.

I'm open for the job, as long as Kang can be 90 pounds and look like a piece of copy paper.
I'd watch that! Based on the nature of the character, can't he look like pretty much anything...?
I'm sure there's a Kang version somewhere like that.
That was quick
Oh yeah, this decision was definitely made months ago, they were just waiting on the verdict.
Hopefully we’ll hear from Kevin Feige soon about whether he’s going to be recast or if they’re gonna pivot away from Kang entirely. Personally I’m hoping for the latter. Kang hasn’t been very interesting anyway.
Which is so frustrating, because Kang has so much potential and could bring so much to the MCU, but the way they’ve handled him has been bizarre to say the least.
Yep. I read his wiki page sometime ago and was surprised at how threatening he was supposed to be. They completely butchered it.
They should cast LTG to do him justice.
I'd watch it in a hearbeat.
Kang being uninteresting was a mix of bland writing and a weak performance. Kang being able to change shape will now be a thing though, so it will make any kind of secret war scenario more exciting.
I think they should recast personally, but I agree that Kang has sucked. However, I think Majors was way over hyped as Kang and he was what sucked about it (of course, with the writing too). But yeah, Ant-Man and Loki S2 he was just weak. Even the end of S1 I wasn't really sold on him.
At this point in time though, I think it could feasibly have another Kang variant come and just kill all the Kang's. In Loki S2 there was a dropped plotline about one of the actresses having some big dire secret. Well, what if she was a Kang? She could lead some rebellion and change the plan.
But if they don't continue with Kang, they'll be fine too. Power scaling wise we have better villains who can lead into Secret Wars. DOOM coming in and fucking up all the Kang's would be great. But we won't really be able to use his likeness for these so we'd probably miss the fun part.
