Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Lost Its Director, But It Just Took An Exciting Step Forward With Some Loki Talent

There’s no question that Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is one of the bigger upcoming Marvel movies that’s officially slated, but it’s also been going through some behind-the-scenes shakeups later. Earlier this month, Destin Daniel Cretton dropped out as director of the next Avengers movie, and it was reported soon after that Jeff Loveness was no longer writing the script. While it remains to be seen who will inherit Cretton’s directorial duties, some exciting news has come in that a Loki talent will take over on the writing front.

Michael Waldron, who served as Loki Season 1’s showrunner and wrote Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, has been selected to write The Kang Dynasty, per Deadline. It’s important to note that Waldron being tapped for this job makes sense beyond just his prior MCU experience. In October 2022, Waldron was revealed to be writing Avengers: Secret Wars, and now he’s tackling that flick’s predecessor too. So just like how Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely wrote both Infinity War and Endgame, now we can count on the saga unfolding across The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars to be handled script-wise by just one person rather than several.
