Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness has been put in charge of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty's script.
According to Deadline, Loveness (also boasting Rick and Morty on his CV) was recently hired to write the movie for director Destin Daniel Cretton, who himself has history in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after directing last year's Shang-Chi.
Given the writer's familiarity with Kang the Conqueror – first played by Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains in Loki – it's a logical move.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige recently explained why Phase 4 of the MCU didn't include an Avengers movie.
"The truth is, when we were doing Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3, there were less projects over more years. They were smaller projects and individual character stories, and it felt appropriate at that point, that after every two or three years that it took for a phase, we would do an Avengers film," he said.
"As [Phase] 4, 5, and 6 were coming together, there are more projects in less years – because of all the amazing stuff we're now allowed to do on Disney+, and getting characters from Fox, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool — that it felt like, certainly after Infinity War and Endgame, that we thought Avengers movies aren't cappers."

He continued: "So many of our movies now – Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, what you're about to see in Quantumania, all our big team-up films introducing big parts of the mythology — and that Avengers films really should be the capper to a saga, which is what really all we wanted to lay the groundwork for today is say, 'We are currently in the midst of the Multiverse Saga, which will culminate in two Avengers films.'"
Avengers: The Kang Dynasty reaches cinemas on May 2, 2025. Avengers: Endgame is out now on DVD, Blu-ray, 3D, 4K and digital download, and is available on Disney+.
