major surprises to the table. But the most surprising of all was the debut of Jonathan Majors’ Kang, the man whose alternate reality self is known (and feared) as ‘Kang the Conqueror’.
The MCU version of the character appears to closely align with his Marvel Comics counterpart, but there are a few key quirks missing from his MCU backstory.

Loki, he’s described as a scientist who discovers the key to alternate realities and in doing so, creates multiple versions of himself, each of which are more powerful and maniacal than the last.
Shang-Chi And Eternals May Not Be Released In China
Hollywood’s desire to capitalize on the rapidly-growing Chinese box office has been clear to see for years, but in some cases it’s a lot more transparent than others. Disney’s
