they would rather kill him off screen then recast , guess they'll cancel some movies

He’s the main villain in the next phase. They’d have to rewrite everything.

Not that they’ve paid much attention to logical writing the past few years anyway. It’s all been focused on diversity over compelling storytelling.

No wonder Disney is two billion in the hole.

why would they kill-off the main villain in the next phase? that sounds like a stupid idea.

That’s an awful thing to say.

Hopefully, they're being ironic, and taking a potshot at Disney for making the decision we now all predict them to.

Yes, Disney are in a hole, but arguably it's of their own making. If they slowed down the pace of their CONTENT, and did sufficient background checks on their cast and crew, instead of prioritising GREED, they wouldn't be in this fix. Now, they're damned if they do recast (RACISM) and damned if they don't (MISOGYNY).

Couldn't they just recast him with another black guy?

He is boring villain. They could just ignore him like he never existed and tall other stories.

I hated him in Loki, he was so annoying. Another version of him in Ant Man was less annoying. But still. Whats the point to defeat one villain whole movie when there are 1000 of them and new one will pop up next time.

Recasting the main villain of the next phase might be a good idea or not. But if they do recast him the only explanation you need is “Nah, that was a variant.”

It would be very jarring.

Very what?
