So it’s possible Majors was invited to shoot a scene or two for Loki as Kang. Majors’ casting as Kang was reported in mid-September. Shooting for Loki took place throughout 2020, beginning in January and wrapping in December (with a significant break in between due to the Covid-19 pandemic). Not so Fast - While that could very well be Castle Limbo in Loki, it’s unknown whether Jonathan Majors will play Kang the Conqueror before his cinematic appearance in the third Ant-Man in 2023. Not for nothing: the narration text in one of Castle Limbo’s few comic appearances, in Thor #282, describes a parting of clouds and mist exactly as it does in Loki: “But finally, the mists part, and his immortal eyes widen in awe for the second time since he entered this enigmatic realm.”Ĭastle Limbo, in Thor #282. With Kang having a more solid foothold in the MCU than Doctor Doom (as of this moment, at least), not to mention the intriguing Easter egg of Yellowjacket’s helmet from Ant-Man being found rotting in the Void, all signs point to Castle Limbo being the structure that Loki and Sylvie find themselves approaching. Though said castle never had an official name in its very few comic book appearances, it has been called “Castle Limbo” due to its location in the otherworldly realm known as Limbo.Ĭrucially, Marvel’s Limbo is not the same concept as the limbo found in Catholicism, but rather its own magical dimension in the center of the Splinter Realms that connect to the Nexus of All Realities. One such name in the distant future is Immortus. This lengthy Inverse primer explains Kang’s whole deal, but the peanut-sized summary is that he’s a time traveler known by many names. Lovecraft Country star Jonathan Majors will play Kang, who may pose as significant a threat as Thanos did throughout the Infinity Saga. The Theory - Another not-so-secret game afoot in the MCU is the imminent arrival of Kang the Conquerer, a major Marvel villain expected to appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is set for release in February 2023. And the last thing you want to do is steal the spotlight away from a trickster sorcerer. But his arrival would distract from Loki. (Although “trolling” seems to be a good-enough reason for Marvel to undetake some narrative gambles, in the case of “Ralph Boehner.”) Even if it were for a fun Easter egg, it should also be said Marvel isn’t usually one to do cheap, meaningless cameos. Narratively, it would make little sense to include Doctor Doom in a story that has nothing to do with him. Why should Marvel start now, at the series’ denouement? No one has mentioned Doctor Doom in the same breath as Loki, at least in this continuity. The series has done a spectacular job focusing only on Loki. Nothing in Loki has set up Doctor Doom or the Fantastic Four as being particularly relevant to Loki’s story. Not so Fast - While it’s exciting to imagine a Fantastic Four teaser so soon, there’s good reason that won’t happen. For this reason, fans are going haywire over the idea that Loki is already teasing Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four, ahead of their inevitable arrival in the MCU.Ĭastle Doom, in New Avengers #7. The castle that Loki and Sylvie see in “Journey Into Mystery” has strikingly similar European architectural features. Like all vaguely eastern European castles, Castle Doom is large, imposing, and quite sinister as it stretches upward and appears to pierce the sky. Like the supervillain he is, Doom resides in Castle Doom, which lies on a mountain outside the Latverian capital city of Doomstadt. Any time after that is essentially open for the Fantastic Four’s theatrical return.)īut despite this far-off release date, is Marvel already planting the seeds for Marvel’s “First Family” to return? One of the most infamous castle owners in Marvel history is none other than Victor von Doom, aka Doctor Doom. (It is confirmed the movie will release after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Announced last December, the new film will be directed by Jon Watts with a potential release date in 2023. The Theory - It’s no secret that Marvel is working on a movie with the Fantastic Four. Whose castle is it? Disney Plus Theory 1: Castle Doom
