A fan has come up with a very simple and effective yet epic way to address the Kang the Conqueror issue in the MCU.
Marvel and Disney had big plans for phase five of the MCU following the events of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame which saw the fall of Thanos. In the Disney Plus series, Loki, we were introduced to the next big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kang the Conqueror played by Jonathan Majors.

However, following allegations and later a conviction, the folks at Marvel and Disney had to rewrite the script that would no longer feature Kang as the next big villain. It’s now insinuated that Robert Downey Jr’s. version of Doctor Doom will be the new villain but I can’t help but think that someone might be pulling his strings.

That being said, there will still be the proverbial elephant in the room. It would be odd if Kang were simply not mentioned in upcoming MCU movies but a fan on Reddit has the perfect answer to that solution.
“Fantastic Four: First Steps could be set in the same universe in which all the Kang variants chose for Planet Kang or whatever planet they gather on in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania,” mattforbes began to explain.
“Fantastic Four could begin with the same ending as Quantumania followed by a huge frame pull to space where we see Galactus eat the planet and kill all the Kangs. Boom. Galactus is established early as a major threat and no one needs to thread a Kang storyline.”
“That would be really badass,” replied KellerBurden22 with didntmakeausername adding “Yea, that's cool.” However, Redditor The Auditor made a very good point that could throw a spanner into the works of that theory, and that’s all the Kangs were in a multiverse outside of Quantumania.

We know that Galactus will feature in the MCU at some point and will be played by the man with a brilliant voice, Ralph Ineson. Personally, I cannot think of a better scenario than above, if the movie makers can make it work.
Fantastic Four: First Steps is currently set to be released in cinemas on 25 July 2025.
