With the second season of Loki fans of the franchise can begin to learn more about Kang and his variants without having to read the comics.
Who Are the Kang Variants That Might be on Loki Season 2?
Victor Timely is one of the more popular variants of Kang and in the post-credit scene of Antman and The Wasp: Quantumania he made an appearance. Timely is known for creating a town called Timely in Wisconsin. His has continued living in this town by pretending to be his son and grandson, basically continuing his reign.. Timely is the identity Kang took on. He went back to the past and started to create modern technology that will help in his conquering of the world as it inches forward to the future and aligns with his own timeline.

While The One Who Remains may be dead, he might make an appearance in this season, either as a flashback on the process of Loki’s time travelling to the past or present.
Is Jonathan Majors Still a Part of the MCU
Majors was getting primed to be the big villain for the present tone of the MCU, where the Multiverse is a big motif. He was set to be the best villain especially as he was playing a multiversal conqueror. However, with the charges levelled against him, it appears that the MCU will have to make changes to their plans for the actor. Prior to the charges, Majors was already in 2 MCU projects and was going to be in more in the coming future, but there have been reports that Marvel had made changes to their plans regarding him.
There is currently no announcement about the changes to the actor’s role in the franchise. It remains uncertain if Kang will be kicked out of the MCU or if his projected long future in the franchise will be cut short. In the meantime, the actor, who has pled not guilty to the charges, is still in court over the allegations.
