I will wait for an official announcement from Disney or Marvel, even through the press.

In case whose role is cancelled or otherwise not taken up by other actors, it will be resolved with None.

Please feel free to add other possible answers.

I hope they won't decide to use multiple actors by using variants, in which case I wouldn't know how to resolve, I imagine a percentage for each right answer.

For what I imagined when I created the market, the answer would be None. But I didn't think about the possibility that I might play a small role in two years. If no one has any objections, I would resolve with None.

When does this resolve? Is it just for Avengers 5, or if they bring back Kang in like 2030 would this resolve to an actor?

Looks like they are abandoning the role entirely

Maybe they will announce something at Comicon or D23.

Emanuele boughtṀ4 YES

Marvel is also cleaning up the creative mess left in the wake of Jonathan Majors, the once-rising actor cast to play the lynchpin villain role in the next Avengers movies but who in December was found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment in a Manhattan court after a domestic incident with his ex-partner, a movement coach he met while working on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Marvel dropped Majors hours after the conviction and is rewriting those movies, which will now either minimize the character or excise him entirely. The first of the new Avengers movies, due out in 2026, was initially titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty but will be getting a new title to remove the character’s name, though sources say that even before Majors’ conviction, the studio was making moves to minimize the character after Quantumania underperformed, grossing $476 million.

I'm surprised more aren't saying None. I could totally see a major pivot away from Kang at this point.

@ChrisEdwards the movies/shows building up to Kang movie have fallen so flat (IMO). I think they likely would’ve tried to rework this movie prior to Majors’ firing

bought Ṁ50 NO

@ChrisEdwards Marvel created a lot of different plot threads involving Kang and have clearly set up for more multiverse arcs. To ditch that entirely would be taking the MCU in a very different direction.

Vindication

Well, I don't bet none down to zero for good reason lol

You set the resolution date to a month from now, is that how long you'll wait before resolving to "None"? That doesn't seem like very long.

@Joshua No, I simply put 30 days because I expect an announcement soon. There must still be an announcement for "None." If it doesn't happen I will simply postpone the resolution date. If you think it should increase already now tell me.

@Emanuele98 Ah okay that makes sense, waiting until they announce a recasting or announce they aren't recasting. Valid to just move the close date back if they don't announce. Good market idea!

@Emanuele98 will this resolve on feb 29th, or will it be pushed back?
