The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for keeping fans on their toes, thanks to projects hitting theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. The fandom is always looking forward to upcoming Marvel movies, especially crossover projects like The Avengers. Someone "leaked" a script claiming to be a drag of the scrapped movie The Kang Dynasty, and it's pretty bananas. Let's break it all down.
What we know about Avengers: Doomsday is limited, but that developing movie was created as The Kang Dynasty was dropped. This was unprecedented for fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order, and was presumably related to Jonathan Majors being fired from the role. If this script that made its way to reddit is legit, there were some big concepts at play before the blockbuster got dropped.
This possible draft for The Kang Dynasty is truly wild from the start. Directly following Ant-Man 3's ending, Jonathan Majors' characters is thrown through the multiverse. Eventually the colosseum of Kangs we saw perform a blood ritual involving Fox's cast of X-Men characters, and things only get crazier from there.
Disney+: from $9.99 a month w/ ad-supported planThe MCU's catalogue and original streaming content are available exclusively on Disney+. Plans start at $9.99 a month for its new ad-supported plan. Alternatively, fans can go ad-free and pay $15.99 a month or save 16% and pre-pay $159.99 for a year.View Deal
Some other highlights from this alleged "leak" include all three Spider-Men once again teaming up, following the wild success of No Way Home. We also get the long-awaited return of Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight, as well as another opportunity for Deadpool and Wolverine to team-up. Given just how much money Deadpool 3 made at the box office, the latter feels pretty much inevitable.
Of course, it's important to take this rumored script with a grain of salt. Marvel's security is notoriously tight, so an entire draft leaking would be a shock. It's also important to note that we're on the eve of April Fool's Day, in which plenty phony reports arrive online. But while anticipation is building for what's to come with Doomsday, there are countless questions about what The Kang Dynasty would have brought us.
When the Creed III actor was fired from the MCU, fans originally debated who could replace Majors as Kang. But instead it seems like the studio is pivoting away from that plot altogether, despite the character's status as the Big Bad being teased throughout Ant-Man 3 and two seasons of Loki.
This alleged leak comes shortly after Marvel announced the cast of Avengers: Doomsday during a long live stream. Fans are finally getting some idea about what might happen in the movie, although the question of what might have occurred in The Kang Dynasty is still in the air. So this possible draft will likely get a ton of eyes on it, especially considering the inclusion of Spider-Man and Deadpool.
Unfortunately, the next Avengers movie isn't on the 2025 movie release list, so we'll hav to wait before we get more answers. First up Thunderbolts* will hit theaters on May 2nd.

Mom hailed as a ‘pro' after hauling her kids, 8 and 10, around Disney World — in a stroller: ‘She gave no f–ks'
A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. How someone chooses to parent their children is a personal decision — but when you share on social media how you go about it, people are bound to share their ruthless opinions. That's what happened to a Massachusetts mom named Nicki Marie when she posted a TikTok video of herself pushing her two kids in a stroller while at Disney. No, these weren't toddlers getting wheeled around — they were grown kids — 8 and 10 years old, to be exact. 'When I got divorced, one of the first things I thought was, 'How will I do Disney with just me and two kids?'' Nicki Marie told in an interview. To find a solution to her problem, Nicki Marie brought her stroller — nicknamed 'Kim' into the mix. 'I'm trying to let down my guard so my kids see me having fun. I bring a stroller because I'm anticipating what could go wrong that day,' she said in the interview. Technically, no one has publicly shamed this mom's stroller using ways, so she's the one doing the teasing: 'I'm making fun of myself before you point it out to me,' the mom said. Despite poking fun at herself, she doesn't think too much about what other people think especially with her iconic voiceover choice in the video she shared, that said 'And she gave no f—s.' However, people online have mixed thoughts on this single mom's stroller-loving ways. Most were positive and in support of her smart tactic. 'We went to Disney for the first time in March. My boys are 8 & 9, kinda wish we would have done a stroller lol.' 'I fully support this. There is no way to make your kids walk these insane miles in the heat without taking a little water break in a shady stroller.' 'My husband and I are going next week, I'm just trying to figure out if I can have him push me in a stroller.' And of course, there were some haters — as expected. 'Absolutely not. My kids very rarely used a stroller and had no problem walking, including at Disney when they were 3. Hauling a stroller sucked.' 'None. Zero. After 30,000 steps and bell to bell, I'm not schlepping all the stuff and sleeping kids.'

The Making of ‘Out of My Mind': Inside the groundbreaking Disney+ film redefining disability representation on screen
The team behind the Disney+ film Out of My Mind — producer Peter Saraf, director Amber Sealey, writer Daniel Stiepleman, and star Phoebe-Rae Taylor — joined together for a special Gold Derby "Making Of" panel to share how they adapted Sharon Draper's beloved novel into a film that's both deeply personal while also delivering a powerful message about inclusion and identity. 'Watching the film and taking home the lessons in it will make the world a better place,' says Sealey. For Saraf, the project began at home. 'I read the book because my daughter told me to read it,' he shares. 'She read it as many students do in school.' It didn't take long for Saraf to recognize the novel's cinematic potential — not just because of Draper's powerful storytelling, but also because of her lived experience. 'Sharon Draper … was a teacher, a mom of a child with cerebral palsy, and she's a wonderful writer. So all of that combines to create this incredible story that we knew should be a great movie.' More from GoldDerby 'Wicked: For Good' trailer teases more monkeys, a wedding, and Dorothy Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood: The debunked 'White Lotus' feud explained Justine Lupe on the unexpected chemistries that power Netflix's 'Nobody Wants This' Recognizing its potential, Saraf brought the book to screenwriter Stiepleman. For him, it was a meaningful opportunity to revisit his own past. 'In my previous life, before I was a writer, I was a teacher,' Stiepleman explains. 'And so I have obviously never been Melody [the main character played by Taylor], but I had been Mr. Dimming. And sometimes I did that job well, and sometimes I didn't.' Seeing the story through Melody's eyes became a moment of reflection and empathy. 'I went back to Peter and said, 'You have to let me write this movie.'' A pivotal step in the adaptation process was casting Melody, a nonverbal girl with cerebral palsy. 'We knew that we had to find a girl that right age, a girl with CP and a girl who could act,' says Saraf. 'We did a search all over the world.' Among the many auditions, one stood out: Phoebe-Rae Taylor. 'Phoebe-Rae was just the absolute perfect person to play the part,' he said. Sealey wholeheartedly agreed. 'As soon as we found her, we were like, it's her. ... Even Sharon, the book's author, said, 'Cast that girl before she gets too old.'' Disney+ For Taylor, discovering the character of Melody as a child was a transformative experience. 'When I was about 7 or 8, I read the book in school and I loved it,' she recalls. 'I've never seen a character like me before. ... I remember I came home that day and I screamed to my parents, 'My God, guess what, I found a character like me.'' Years later, that early connection became a life-changing opportunity. 'Even now I have no words for it … this has been the most unreal three years of my life and the best three years of my life,' she shared. 'I've learnt so much ... and now I've got a confidence that I'm really grateful for.' One of the most unique creative challenges was translating Melody's inner monologue — so vital in the novel — into a cinematic language. 'What is the voice of a character who has never heard their own voice?' Saraf asks. The unexpected answer came from Phoebe herself: Jennifer Aniston. 'Jennifer Aniston has always been and always will be my favorite actor,' Phoebe says. 'To have her know I exist is enough, because I really am obsessed with her.' Aniston ultimately agreed to lend her voice to Melody's thoughts, adding a personal and emotional layer to the film. The film also stars Rosemarie DeWitt and Luke Kirby as Melody's parents and Judith Light as a family friend. According to Sealey, the production itself was a rare kind of collaborative harmony. 'This film has been the gift that keeps on giving,' she says. 'We all had the same mission ... wanting the set to be completely inclusive.' She also credits Taylor with setting the tone for that inclusive environment through her courage and performance. 'She just blew me away — how willing she was to really go there.' The film's heartfelt impact has been met with critical acclaim, garnering a Peabody Award, Critics Choice Awards nominations for Best Limited/Movie Actress for Taylor, and Best TV Movie, a Directors Guild Award win for Sealey, and a Writers Guild Award nomination for Stiepleman. But for Sealey, no recognition compares to the impact the film has had on its audience. 'Almost daily I get messages from kids on Instagram who have cerebral palsy or are disabled in a different way. They send a message saying, 'Thank you for making this movie. It touched me. That's me up there.'' This article and video are presented by Disney.
