He continued his rise to fame after further appearances in films like Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods and the 2021 Western action film The Harder They Fall, both of which debuted on Netflix and received critical acclaim.

Those theories came to fruition at SDCC 2022 with Marvel Studios' announcement of the Multiverse Saga confirming Kang as the primary antagonist of Phase 5 and Phase 6.
