Now that Robert Downey Jr. ’s Doctor Doom is set to beAvengers : Doomsday ’s principal resister , Kang and the Council of Kangs ' beingness will believably be beckon away cursorily . Perhaps Doctor Strange and Clea stopped the Council of Kangs afterDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ' post - credits conniption , or perhaps the TVA intervene before them .

Marvel Studios can still enter Iron Lad despite Kang ’s absence seizure , either by establishing the young Nathaniel Richards as Kang ’s Earth-616 variant or by institute him over from a unlike timeline . Still , Iron Lad ’s chief goal has always been to keep Kang the Conqueror from mess up with time , which also ask an seek to stop himself from becoming Kang .
