Marvel fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Kang the Conqueror as the next big bad in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). After his appearance in the second season of Loki, the villain’s influence has been felt in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, and he is set to play a significant role in the upcoming film Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Recently, fans have been speculating about a potential connection between Kang and Shang-Chi, the hero from the recently released movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Stephen Broussard, Marvel Studios’ VP of Production & Development, spoke on the D23 Inside Disney podcast about this rumor and teased how Kang connects to the Multiverse.
Some fans have drawn connections between the Ten Rings and Kamala Khan’s bangle from Ms. Marvel, which are believed to be pieces tying the MCU’s upcoming Kang-centric storyline together, the way that the Infinity Stones did in the Infinity Saga. The imagery utilized in Kang’s energy sphere in Ant-Man 3, which features writing similar to that on the Ten Rings, has further fueled speculation about a connection between Kang and Shang-Chi.
When asked about this potential connection, Broussard didn’t deny the possibility, but he was careful not to reveal too much. He explained that the focus was on making Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania a standalone movie and that any connections to other films down the road were still unclear.
While it’s still unclear if the Ten Rings will play a role in Kang’s evolution later in the Multiverse Saga, fans are excited to see how Kang’s presence throughout the Multiverse will expand to new heights. Shang-Chi is rumored to be one of the leading characters in Avengers 5, and the post-credits scene from his movie set up plenty of mystery surrounding the origins of the Ten Rings.
With Avengers: The Kang Dynasty set to debut in theaters on May 2, 2025, fans will have to wait a little longer to see how Kang’s story unfolds in the MCU. In the meantime, Marvel fans can continue to speculate about the potential connections between Kang and other heroes in the MCU, including Shang-Chi, Kamala Khan, and others.
