Will Doctor Doom Eliminate Kang’s Variants In The Fantastic Four Post-Credit Scene? Explained

Aug 28, 2024 · 7:24 PM Blog

There are plans for Robert Downey Jr. to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after some time away, although this will not be in the Iron Man character. Instead, he will take up as the new engaging villain in the Marvel universe, Doctor Doom. This news excited the fans as well as created a lot of buzz in the Marvel universe. He will be leading along with the other characters in the coming two films called Avengers: Doomsday and the other is Avengers: Secret Wars. However, this change in the casting of the actors did not come without controversy.

Previously, Jonathan Majors was originally supposed to play One of the MCU’s defenses Kang Khan Wong, Kang the Conqueror, and also omitted character in Avengers 5, branded as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Kang’s character was thought to be the next big problem after Thanos in the bible of MCU upon its release. His storyline was supposed to continue in future geography, including, but not limited to, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, whose post-credit projects were a build-up to the Kang dynasty.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be admitted to the theaters on May 1, 2026. At this time, enough is known about the cast of characters and the action, it has already been stated that the film is to be directed by the Russo Brothers, and the Fantastic Four will also be present in the film. The fans are downloading a lot of information in anticipation of the next developments in the unity of the cinematic universe.

However, because of his domestic violence case, Marvel Studios decided not to keep Majors in that position anymore. This caused a huge disruption to the storyline in the MCU. Do make note that with this, Robert Downey Jr. also came packed to play Dr doom thus altering the projects that were in the pipeline.

There is speculation that the new Fantastic Four: First Steps motion picture will reveal what has happened to Kang the Conqueror. Per posted information by @Updates4Marvel on X (Formerly Twitter), it appears that Doctor Doom might be the one to eliminate the Council of Kangs, which was featured in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. This would pave the way for Doom to emerge as the first antagonist of the MCU.

As much as these theories have not been substantiated yet, they indicate that the Studio has in mind a radical rewrite of Marvel’s script. The fans are excited to know how Robert Downey Jr. will come into the picture as Doctor Doom and what other roles he is destined to play in the evolution of the MCU.

“Somehow Escaped…” Uttarakhand Woman Shares Video Of Harassment

Aug 28, 2024 · 7:24 PM Blog

A disturbing video was posted on X Wednesday afternoon of two women being harassed by a number of men late at night near the Sacred Heart School in Uttarakhand’s Haldwani.

The one-minute video appears to have been shot on a mobile phone and shows the car in which the women were travelling first being forced to slow down by a black Mahindra Scorpio in front.

This took place on what seems to be a quiet side street (identified as Mukhani Road in the hill town by Prachi Joshi, who posted the video on X). Then a second car, a Hyundau Nios i20, speeds into view from the right side. Two men are perched on the front doors; only one leg is inside the car as they sit on the doors. The two are shouting abusive comments at the women.

“Just tonight I was coming back with my female friend from a movie and suddenly two cars, full of 10 men, tried to block our way….” Ms Joshi, who shared the video, wrote in the post.

“This happened straight for 25 minutes,” she said, detailing the horror that followed.

The black Scorpio (with temporary registration T0724UK4618C) was ahead of us… they tried to stop us from passing by opening their doors. The white Nios i20 (UK-04-AK-1928) was behind blocking us so we couldn’t run away. The first time it happened we escaped…”

This Video is shared by Female from Haldwani

“The second time they blocked us completely by opening all car doors but luckily a man on a scooter appeared… he tried to pass them which gave us a chance to escape. We somehow managed to run from there but just after few minutes they again tried to do the same (thing).”

Ms Joshi’s post also tagged Uttarakhand Police and ripped into them for failing to ensure the safety and security of women, even as the country is up in arms over the rape and murder of a doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital and claims of sexual assault in the Kerala film industry.

Is this how peace and security is being maintained in the city? Why is hooliganism increasing in the city @uttarakhandcops that you’ll take a strict action against this matter because somehow this is related to safety and security of the women residing in Haldwani

— Prachi Joshi (@amicus_curiae_) August 28, 2024

“Is this how peace and security is being maintained in the city? Why is hooliganism increasing in the city,” Ms Joshi asked, urging the police to take strict action against the men in the video.

“This is related to the safety and security of the women residing in Haldwani…”

The police have not yet responded, publicly, to Ms Joshi’s complaint.

The disturbing video was posted online hours before President Droupadi Murmu’s anguished appeal to the nation to ensure the safety and security of women.

She criticised the “obnoxious amnesia” that much of this country develops and which allows women to be harassed, assaulted, and brutalised on a daily basis, and called for introspection and change.
