The writer for the upcoming Avengers movie has been chosen. The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Jeff Loveness has been chosen by Marvel to write Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
During the studio’s July San Diego Comic-Con presentation, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed Kang Dynasty. A few days later, THR reported that the movie will be directed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
Loveness is well familiar with Kang, the time-traveling antagonist who serves as the main character in Marvel’s Multiverse Saga and is portrayed by Jonathan Majors. Loveness wrote the screenplay for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which will be released on February 17. Kang serves as the film’s antagonist. The character initially made an appearance in the Loki season one finale, going by the moniker He Who Remains.
Loveness gained notoriety as a writer for the well-known Adult Swim cartoon comedy Rick & Morty, which has served as a Marvel training ground. Its alumni include Michael Waldron, the author of Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Jessica Gao, the She-Hulk comic book’s lead writer. In 2020, Ricky & Morty’s writing staff and Loveness’s writing team split an Emmy.
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will debut on May 2, 2025, while Avengers: Secret Wars will follow months later on November 7, 2025. That feature has no well-known authors or directors.
