Marvel fans can look forward to a new direction in the MCU as Michael Waldron is confirmed to write "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty" and "Avengers: Secret Wars." Despite uncertainties surrounding the future of Jonathan Majors' Kang and a potential pivot to Doctor Doom, Waldron's involvement promises an intriguing future for the franchise. Amidst a delayed Phase 6, "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty" eyes a May 1, 2026 release, while groundwork is laid for "The Fantastic Four" with Pedro Pascal rumored to play Reed Richards. The direction Phase 6 will take under Waldron, who apologized for a controversial heel turn in his past MCU work, remains a highly anticipated subject for fans.

With significant changes in the air, including the stepping down of Destin Daniel Cretton as director and Majors' ongoing legal issues, Disney is reevaluating its strategy for Phase 6 of the MCU. Fans are eagerly awaiting news on how these developments will shape the upcoming Avengers films and the overall narrative of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
