Thunderbolts*
Summary
Jonathan Majors is officially out as Kang the Conqueror , leaving theMCUin a bit of an uncomfortable position - which could be solved by one unbelievable grimace inThunderbolts . A lot ofupcoming MCU releaseswere mean to build off the groundwork that Kang had pose inAnt - Man and the WaspandLoki , leaving Marvel a toilsome choice as to whether they remodel Kang , or swivel aside from the type . Luckily for them , an gentle solvent might be right on around the street corner with oneThunderboltscharacter : Sentry .
lookout man is one of the firm Marvel heroes , often drawing comparisons to Superman . He is so strong , he once rip ar , the Greek God of War , in one-half within the strip . The theatrical role also has been known to help rewrite the history of the Marvel Universe . These trait could easy be employed by Marvel to get Kang out of the way for a new scoundrel , or just time slot in Sentry as the young big bad forthe MCU timeline .
The Sentry is one of the most dissentious grinder of the Marvel Universe , and now this scram a call out forward of his MCU debut .
Sentry Has Retconned The Marvel Universe Before
Sentry ’s comic book chronicle is unlike any other submarine sandwich . Instead of introducing him conventionally , creators Rick Veitch and Paul Jenkins instead create a fictitious history about an quondam Marvel artist named Artie Rosen . They get Stan Lee to shout out out Artie , and Marvel even put afake obituary for Artie into a comic . This fake history extended beyond the graphic symbol ’s creation and into the pages of Marvel comics . When Sentry was introduce , the writers acted like he had on the Q.T. always been there .
In the funnies , it was say that everyone just forgot about Sentry , and when he came back , so did their memory of him . Sentry ’s retcon of the Marvel Universe swan from little things , like Peter Parker having won an award for taking a picture of him , to expectant things like him being Reed Richard ’s best champion . Marvel could easily seek to recapture this unique introduction by doing a standardized affair withSentry in the MCU .
The MCU could insert Sentry into archive footage of older task so as to cite his mirthful lore , which could be both amusing , and a fun manner to give an account as to why this powerful type was n’t seen helping fight villains like Thanos or Ultron , but could be seen fighting the likes of Kang .
Sentry has yet to be formally annunciate forMarvel ’s Thunderbolts . Steven Yeun was ab initio cast in the role but dropped out , and Marvel has yet to release an official statement on the character ’s position .
How Sentry Can Fix Marvel’s Kang Problem
A coarse image when preface new villains is to have them beat up a theatrical role who is an established menace . The MCU did this inInfinity Warwhen Thanos thrashed Hulk , andStar Trekused to do it so often with Worf that some people call it the Worf Effect .
Marvel could easy use this trope to introduce Sentry and get rid of Kang in one fell slide . All the MCU needs to do is have Sentry ’s instauration showing him tearing apart the Council of Kangs as easily as he did are in the comics . This will instantly assure viewers that the newly established figure is a menace , while also sweep Kang under the rug .
If Marvel wants to hold onto the option of recasting Kang at some point in the future , Sentry does n’t have to kill every var. . Thunderboltscould start on a small scale , with the squad tracking down a specific Kang variate . When they show up , they can find Kang ’s Qaeda of operations torn apart , teasing Sentry . This keeps Marvel from hold to employ Major ' likeness in the movie , and also leaves the doorway open for recast Kangin the futurity if they want .
What Marvel Villain Could Replace The Council of Kangs
If Marvel determine to take out Kang with Sentry , the MCU is going to need a raw major scoundrel to take his piazza . fortunately , this route has a build - in answer , as Sentry has a saturnine side know as the Void .
If the bombshell are a little more on the villainous side , it would make good sense to pit them against the heroic Sentry persona . However , the motion picture could suggest at Sentry ’s potential to plow into the next gravid MCU threat . After all , if Sentry is established as being massively dangerous when he ’s holding back as a wedge , the possibility of the Void come out would be even more terrifying .
If Marvel does n’t want to put too much weight behind Sentry , they still have other options for new chief villains . Doctor Doom is one that has been heatedly foretell for a while now , so Kang falling through might be the perfect chance to dislodge gear in that direction , though Marvel might still choose to go down the recasting route . However , if the final decisiveness is to scrap Kang as theMCU ’s principal villain , Sentry give them a very good pick to do so .
