With Jonathan Majors’ Kang out of the MCU’s scheme of things after his conviction last year, fans have been speculating who might be the perfect foe to replace the Conqueror in the multiversal saga. And while many have pointed to Doctor Doom as the perfect substitution following the scale of the upcomingAvengers, the MCU might already have the ideal solution to this situation.

Considering we are already halfway through the multiversal saga, setting up Doctor Doom in the limited time for the upcomingAvengersflicks isn’t going to be easy if the MCU goes that route. However, bringing back one Avengers foe from the past could work in the MCU’s favor, as he could effortlessly fill Kang’s shoes in the upcoming multiversal battle inAvengers5 or 6.
Fans Theorize on How Ultron Could Make His Way Back to the MCU
While Ultron is yet to make an appearance in live-action after being defeated inAvengers: Age of Ultron, for years fans have been speculating that the entity is still alive in theMCU. And considering Ultron is an AI construct, if Marvel writers do decide to board this train, bringing him won’t be a hard task, and fans have theorized several ways about how Ultron could still be alive in the MCU. Taking toReddit, one user explained that Ultron might’ve been successful in transferring a copy of himself in the Quinjet, thus allowing him to live in a dormant state all these years.

Another user pointed out that he could be hiding in Shuri’s AI in Wakanda after she downloaded Vision inAvengers: Infinity War. There are plenty of ways to incorporate Ultron into the multiversal war as he could make the perfect successor to Kang, and as shown inWhat If…?, dominating the multiverse isn’t out of the ordinary for him.
