Avengers 5 writer, Jeff Loveness, has revealed that the X-Men have influenced his work in the upcoming movie, The Kang Dynasty. The writer has emphasized the theme of family, which he believes is a make-or-break element in a superhero movie. Loveness wants to explore the family ties that exist between the Avengers and their villains, even though they are supposed to be coworkers. He believes that this will make the upcoming movie, The Kang Dynasty, more engaging. Loveness plans to make Kang the Conqueror, the new villain in the movie, more vulnerable and human than Thanos, the villain from the Avengers: Endgame. He aims to create a revenge story and a self-discovery story around Kang.

X-Men’s Family Bond

Fox’s X-Men

The writer’s love for the X-Men comes from the fact that they are a family, unlike the Avengers who are coworkers. The X-Men’s family bond is a complex one, with Charles Xavier’s ties to his enemy, Magneto, being an excellent example of complicated family ties in X-Men comics. The love triangle between Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Wolverine is another example of the complexities that arise when a group of superheroes is living under one roof.

Loveness is excited about the launch of the X-Men in the MCU and hopes to explore their family bond further. He wants to make The Kang Dynasty a movie that delves deeper into the family ties that exist between superheroes and villains, making it more engaging and exciting for viewers. Loveness credits Magneto as his favorite villain in storytelling, and his inspiration has led him to make Kang a passionate, vulnerable villain on a crusade against himself, with the Avengers in the way. The writer also aims to make Kang more significant than any other villain in the MCU, representing a fun existential challenge to even the idea of superheroes.
