Jeff Loveness is off AVENGERS: KANG DYNASTY as he was removed from writing Avengers The Kang Dynasty because they’re reportedly likely moving away from Kang

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Jeff Loveness is off AVENGERS: KANG DYNASTY as he was removed from writing Avengers The Kang Dynasty because they’re reportedly likely moving away from Kang.

Now, a new rumor claims that Loveness is off the film and no longer working for Marvel because Marvel was moving in a different direction with Kang the Conqueror.

Joanna Robinson on the House of R podcast detailed, “We saw the Quantumania post-credits where Kang is everywhere. But I actually heard from someone recently. I was asking about– So the screenwriter Jeff Loveness, who wrote Quantumania, was supposed to write Kang Dynasty. And then it sort of came out that he was no longer [attached to the film]. Anyway, I had it confirmed to me he’s no longer working for Marvel.”

She added, “And that I asked the person why, and they said the reason why was that his stuff, he was all wrapped up in this Kang storyline and that they are likely going to be moving away from that.”

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton remains attached to helm The Kang Dynasty, but if the movie is undergoing significant story changes, then who knows if that’s still the case. 

Most fans would have preferred to see the filmmaker focus on a Shang-Chi sequel, but he’s instead been working on a Wonder Man Disney+ TV series which, not that long ago, we heard had potentially been scrapped by Marvel Studios. There’s still no official word on that front, though. 

It seems Marvel Studios lost faith in Loveness being able to continue Kang’s story, though the bigger issue may be the fact they’re considering moving on from the time-traveller altogether. The Loki season 2 finale potentially went some way in helping with that, and it would be easy enough for a new big bad to take credit for destroying the Council of Kangs. Heck, maybe Loki himself can remove those Variants from his new Multiverse.

Back in May following the box office flop of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a film written by Loveness, it was reported that Loveness was no longer working on Avengers: Kang Dynasty.

Scooper Jeff Sneider reported, “RUMOR: Hearing that screenwriter Jeff Loveness is off AVENGERS: KANG DYNASTY… and that he fell off prior to the strike.”
