Did Loki drop some big hints about Marvel villain Kang the Conqueror coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Fans certainly seem to think so. On the eve of Loki episode 4’s release, social media is lighting up with renewed buzz about the Marvel fan theory that Kang’s introduction is unfolding in Loki, right in front of our very eyes. It’s a theory we’ve broken down extensively, discussing why Kang appearing in or influencing Loki actually makes a whole lot of sense. Right now Marvel fans are putting together all the clues and breadcrumbs that they think point to Kang’s presence in Loki – take a look at those, below.

With Tom Hiddleston promising that Loki Episode 4 will really shake things up, Marvel fans should be ready for anything to happen – including getting a visit from Kang!
Who Are The Time-Keepers?
okay so whereโs AST (the female TK) in this poster? Cuz the one in the center looks nothing like ASTโฆ. It resembles Kang. maybe he replaced AST in the show?

One of the most popular Marvel fan theories out there is that Kang has killed and/or replaced the Time-Keepers that run the Time Variance Authority. One of the biggest hints about that may be the closer looks at the Time-Keepers statues in the TVA; a few of the designs are a little too Kang-like, no?ย

Looks Like Kang

Take a look at this newย Lokiย Time-Keepers poster – do you see a Kang resemblance?ย
Looks Like Majors
Me too. Plus theyโre essentially describing Kang when they discuss the time keepers, itโs him.

It’s not just that the Time-Keepers totems around the TVA look like Kang – some of them actually look likeย Lovecraft Country starย Jonathan Majors, who has already been cast asย Kang, for the upcoming movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Hard coincidence to ignore.ย

Es casi seguro que uno de los Guardianes del Tiempo sea el villano Kang pic.twitter.com/UvvwhmFzHu
Another popular Marvel fan theory is that the MCU version of Kang will be a Time-Keeper who went rogue or had one of his variants go rogue and become a multiverse-conquering despot, named Kang. Loosely translated, the fan above concludes that ”ย It is almost certain that one of the Guardians of Time is the villain Kang”. We may soon find out!ย
Waiting For The Time-Keepers

Ironic isn’t it? The masters of time are keeping us all waiting! And when they do show up…ย
Don’t Fail, Loki
If they’re introducing Kang into the MCU and don’t have at least an easter egg or some other reference in a show all about time keepers and time variants and sacred timelines and whatnot, that’d be a huge fail. https://t.co/ea7igMd3Hl

At this point, ifย Lokiย isn’t somehow tied to Kang the Conqueror or one of his variants (Immortus), a lot of Marvel fans are going to be disappointed.ย
Can’t Change My Mind
Kang the Conquerer has to be in on the Timekeepers. Canโt change my mind. pic.twitter.com/9Xe3cVwQtG

This idea of Kang being connected toย Loki‘s Time-Keepers is really beginning to set in. We’ve personally written too manyย Lokiย Kang theories to turn back – how about you?ย
How We Gonna React?

If the Kang reveal happens inย Lokiย Episode 4 (or 5, or 6…) how areย youย going to react?ย
