The films of Marvel Studios influence the comics of The house of ideas.
It is not new to say that the comic world has given many contents to audiovisual products, whether they are cinematic or television, some with much more success than others. However, sometimes the opposite happens and it is precisely these projects that mark a trend that later reaches the world of the ninth art. In his time, we have already talked about comic characters whose origin was television. However, in this article, we will focus on how they influenced Marvel Studios In the topics of the comics of The house of ideasAs you can check if you continue to read until the end.
In 2021, Marvel Studios We were surprised by the first season of the series Lokiwhose last chapter, entitled All the time. Always He made us know the actor Jonathan Majors give life to KangAs we see in the lower image, a character whose story was developed during the second season of that series (which saw the light in 2023), in addition to the film Ant-Man and the Wasp: albemunmanía (released the same year), since the idea was to work as a substitute Thanks In the role of the new definitive villain of Marvel StudiosSomething for which the character has a lot of potential.
Taking advantage of the success provided by the first lot of episodes, between one season and another, The house of ideas He published the comic Timeless (2022), with the script of Jed Mackay and designed by Kev Walker, Greg Land y Mark Bagley. His discussion led to Kang at the forefront and then develop its full potential in another head.
Thus, last year, the time traveler made his appearance in the adventure Twilight Dreaming, third partPublished in The Avengers nº 9 (2024), also written by Jed MackayWho Francesco Mortarino accompanied in the graphic part, although the character had already been mentioned previously, whose plot was abruptly ended in the Next numberwithin the adventure Twilight Dreaming, fourth part (published the same year), with a screenplay by the same screenwriter and drawings of Carlos Villa.
The question that this situation could ask us is clear enough: why take the briga to dedicate a special comic on the return of the first line of a villain whose plot is resolved as soon as? So that no reader considers him a mockery just to get money, it must be clarified that the answer we have to look for it in the actor Jonathan Majorsthat we have already mentioned above, since the alleged accusations of mistreatment presented against him were the triggering factor Marvel Studios Consider changing your next bad ending by the Death Doctor.
Therefore, as any fan of the franchise should know, it is expected that next year it will be released Avengers: Doomsdaywith Robert Downney Jr. changing the role of hero for that of the villain giving life to Victor von Deathto replace the title Avengers: The Kang Dinastywhich was the initial plan of Marvel StudiosSo they are expected to have prepared a convincing reason, which adapts well to the plot of UCM, For this drastic change.
Of course, a Marvel Comics Was also interested in resorting Death Doctor as a substitute Kang. To do this, the miniseries was used Hunting (2024), in whom Last issueWritten again by Jed MackayWho Pepe Larraz Accompany the drawings, whose coverage is reproduced under this paragraph, the Strange doctor is deceived by the main enemy of The Four Fantastic to give him the title of Supreme sorcererWith the power that this entails, since this seems to be the only way out to defeat the vampire plague that is causing chaos due to the disappearance of sunlight.
It is evident that having Death Doctor Keeping the position of Supreme sorcerer It is a problem that will not only be addressed The Avengers y The Four Fantasticbut it will concern everyone Marvel UniverseSo this villain is ready to become the greatest threat both in the audiovisual world and in the comics, as they will notice in the adventures of both media that will come.
The fact that an actor’s legal situation was capable of a plumice of transforming the plans that both the study that the editorial were developing, especially if we take into account that this could have been resolved by replacing the replacement Jonathan Majors for another actor, a solution for which Marvel Studios He has already chosen on some occasions, but he has resisted to make it in others. It can only be foreseen that this change obviously does not affect the development of the saga.
