While the film may not have a director right now, Marvel has found someone to write the script for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Michael Waldron, who is already known for multiple Marvel projects, will pen the next Avengers film, according to Deadline.
- Michael Waldron is known for creating Marvel’s Loki series for Disney+ and for writing the script for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
- Now, he has been selected to write the script for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, the next big Marvel team-up movie, as well.
- The move makes a lot of sense as Waldron had already previously been selected to write Avengers: Secret Wars, which will follow The Kang Dynasty.
- Waldron recently signed a multi-year deal with Marvel/20th Television, though his production company Anomaly Pictures.

- A draft of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty has been written by Jeff Loveness, who also wrote Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
