4. Rama-Tut

Though we have also seen a glimpse of him during the same mid-credit scene from Quantumania, Rama-Tut’s introduction into the MCU could open up a lot of storytelling opportunities exploring human nature, power, and the consequences of time travel.

This variant of Kang is a pharaoh who rules ancient Egypt with an iron fist – which is a unique historical context that has not been fully explored in the MCU. His reign, his interactions with the ancient Egyptians, and his ridiculously advanced technology would provide the perfect stage for intense drama, action, and historical exploration of science and how it evolves in the MCU.

It would also give us a bunch of Stargate vibes with the combination of ancient Egyptian aesthetics with futuristic technology, and it would help bridge the gap between the past and the future, offering fresh plot points and even different types of storytelling that MCU fans have yet to experience.

Rama-Tut’s character development is another compelling reason to include him in the MCU. His internal conflict, the transformation from a tyrant to a person seeking redemption, and his eventual journey to become the time-traveling Kang the Conqueror would add flavor and challenges to the stories within the MCU and the parts he plays in them. This would also be an excellent opportunity to include the Fantastic Four in the same movie, as he is one of the enemies they encounter in the comic books.
