Thankfully Loki 2 put them in a good position to just nip the kang storyline in the bud. At least for now. Maybe wait a good decade or two then potentially bring back the threat of Kang with a new actor (or more).

Personally hope they just recast and say fuck him tbh. Not many villains are on Kang's level, and we've already seen from covid what happens when Marvel has to respond to a massive shift in plans.

I'm hoping though, that loki 2 were signs of them having got a plan B though. At least if those scenes towards the end were reshoots. If they were in the original script, then it's just a lucky coincidence it looks that way.

Hopefully with a potential recast they can get away with the abysmal portrayal in ant man and have this new version not linked to that one at all.

That's true. The TVA is killing all the Kangs so maybe only the variants that don't look like Timely/HWR survive.

Or just say, no the TVA handled all the Kangs, here is Dr Doom.

I wonder if Mayors had something in his contract that only he can play Kang, as some people suspect from not already recasting him.

He can be removed based on the "morality clause" they put in these contracts. Basically "if you make us look bad, you're gone". All entertainers have them because they're public figures.
