Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to be directed by Shang-Chi’s director

The latest movies in the Avengers saga were only announced last weekend during Marvel’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, but the first has already found a director. Avengers: The Kang DynastyWill be directed by Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten RingsAccording to the Hollywood Reporter, director Destin Daniel Cretton. The Kang DynastyThis movie, due to release May 2, 2025 will be the first in a series of planned Avengers movies. Secret Wars with AvengersSix months later, the book will appear on Nov. 7, 2025.

We don’t know much about The Kang Dynasty other than its fairly revealing name and it’s approximate release date, but we do know that this pair of team-up movies will end Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what Disney is calling the Multiverse Saga.

It seems pretty safe to say that Kang will be the primary villain in the movie, or at least play an important role, and it’s worth knowing that the comic version of the Secret Wars storyline brought multiple universes together and provided a multiverse-less soft reset to the Marvel canon — something the movies will probably be in need of by 2025.

No indications yet as to who will be the next director Secret Wars with AvengersCretton wasn’t announced until after the fact. The Kang Dynasty it seems unlikely he’ll direct both. This is a significant departure from Avengers, in which two directors were assigned to each movie. Joss Whedon directed the first one and The Russo Brothers the other. Avengers: Infinity War Finale. But considering how early Cretton’s announcement came, it’s likely we’ll know who will direct ASecret Wars with the vengersDo it sooner than you think.
