“Uh, the inspirations for Kang? He’s a conqueror,” Majors mentioned. “You should look at Alexander the Great. Look at Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar starts there.”
Majors added: “He’s a part of an already established universe. Those are inspirations and then counterpoints, which is also important in creating a character is to figure out how they counter people. ‘You’re smart, but watch how smart I am’. So you can look at Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and say okay, if that’s the superhero of superhero, etcetera, and I’m to be the supervillain of supervillains. How do I counteract that in the zeitgeist. I can write a book about it at this point, but I’ll close there.”
“He is the obvious choice as you’re dealing with the Multiverse,” Marvel Studios Chief Kevin Feige beforehand mentioned. “Kang allowed us to do a new kind of Big Bad. He’s a different type of villain, warring amongst themselves as much as he’s warring with our heroes.”
Feige added: “Kang’s a very powerful person, but when we meet him he’s in a position where he needs to get that power back. He has a ship and a device that would allow him to go anywhere, and anywhen he wants if he can get it online. If only he had access to genius scientists with Pym particles.”

However, given Scott Lang’s integral function in Endgame, he has since turn into a significant a part of the Avengers, and his contributions involving science due to his collaboration with Hope Van Dyne and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) have actually been integral. Now that Kang the Conqueror is concerned, it’s protected to say that this can be Lang’s greatest risk but.
