Jeff Loveness, the writer for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty spoke to the Phase Zero podcast. He said that he was excited to write for the characters in the upcoming film.

The Kang Dynasty has a lot of anticipation from fans as it will be the first film to see an Avengers team-up effort since Avengers: Endgame.

Loveness then indirectly teased Florence Pugh's appearance in the film alongside the likes of Jonathan Majors and Letitia Wright. While he called them a great bunch of actors, he refused to be specific about it, and claimed he would get into trouble.

He said that they have a "deep bench of really good actors," and noted that everyone will have a chance to shine. However, he added that he can't say who will shine and when they will shine but mentioned that it was fun to finally put everyone in the game.

Florence Pugh's rumored inclusion comes right after a rumor in December 2022 by the YouTuber Heavy Spoilers channel. The YouTuber had suggested that Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson, Shang-Chi, and Shuri's Black Panther would play central roles in the story.

Aside from Pugh, there are other rumored inclusions in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. They include Tenoch Huerta's Namor, who was teased by Jeff Loveness himself, and Tom Holland's Spider-Man. The latter was reported to be the lead character of The Kang Dynasty by reputable industry insider MyTimeToShineHello.

The Hollywood Reporter had said that Pugh would have two more MCU appearances lined up following her appearances in Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Thunderbolts. The two appearances could highly likely be Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, seeing as how both films will feature multiple MCU heroes.

It remains to be seen how Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova will be utilized in the film as she is a much more grounded character compared to Jonathan Majors' Kang, an intergalactic and interdimensional threat.

However, Pugh has forged or will forge connections to Avengers or Avenger-adjacent heroes like Clint Barton, Kate Bishop's Hawkeye, and Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes.

For her upcoming non-MCU film appearances, fans of Florence Pugh can catch her in a few films. They include Zach Braff's comedy-drama A Good Person, Christopher Nolan's ensemble biopic Oppenheimer and Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two.
