Kang’s Future MCU Villain Story Is Still Unknown
Majors Kang the Conquerer will be a titanically significant character in Phases 4-6 (now referred to as the Multiverse Saga) of the MCU, similar to what Josh Brolin’s Thanos was in Phases 1-3. (the Infinity Saga).
Kang will become a more evident threat as the universe’s subsequent films continue to reveal the heroes and teams that will comprise the MCU for the foreseeable future.

The Kang (or Kangs) who will fight the Avengers in 2025, on the other hand, may be substantially different from either of the two previously revealed, given that Kang and He Who Remains are completely distinct characters.
When The Kang Dynasty appears, it will be much easier to judge how serious a threat he poses to the Avengers.
