The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a well-oiled machine, one that is constantly expanding thanks to projects hitting theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Those of us who have spent years watching the Marvel movies in order know that the studio was setting up Kang to be the next Thanos-level threat to the MCU. But Jonathan Majors' firing threw a wrench into those plans, and now the next "Avengers" movie will be titled "Doomsday" and centered around Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. And a wild new rumor indicates how the MCU will reportedly move on from Kang.

What we know about "Avengers: Doomsday" is limited, but it's a clear sign that Kang is no longer going to be the big villain of the MCU. Fans had been wondering about this ever since Majors' legal issues went viral. And a new rumor reported by CBM claims that the strategy to retcon Kang is simply for him to stop appearing altogether.
