How the Fantastic Four Connects to the MCU’s Kang
Although Kang the Conqueror is mostly known as an Avengers villain — and he’s getting an Avengers movie named after him (2025’s Avengers: The Kang Dynasty) — he actually has a very strong connection to the Fantastic Four. The character’s very first appearance actually came. in Fantastic Four #19 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, where the FF met “Rama-Tut,” who it was later revealed was a variant of the time-traveling mega-villain known as Kang.
In our latest Marvel video, we explore Kang’s history with the comic book Fantastic Four, and we offer a big theory about how the upcoming Fantastic Four movie will connect to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Kang. We break down Kang’s long and convoluted comic-book backstory, explain why the Fantastic Four are so important to his origin, reveal how this all connects to a recent Marvel Comics storyline called Secret Wars, and what John Krasinski’s appearance as a Reed Richards variant means for the Fantastic Four movie coming in a couple years. Watch the video below:
