They are especially upset at the fact the Avengers have begun to seriously meddle in the multiverse \u2013 and believe that if this is allowed to continue they will \u201ckill everything we\u2019ve built\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>And so Immortus explains that they need to stop wasting time and put an end to the Avengers\u2019 plans by any means necessary. He has therefore called a huge meeting and when asked how many variants he has called, his response is simple: \u201cAll of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We then cut to a huge Colosseum which is packed to the rafters with thousands of Kang variants \u2013 each of whom now appears united in stopping the Avengers. It\u2019s safe to say that the exiled Kang the Conqueror we met in this film was just the start, and his death has mobilised an entire army of Kangs who will now be doing battle with our heroes in the future\u2026<\/p>\n<p>As an aside, one of the variants appears to be a Skrull, so don\u2019t be too surprised if he shows up in the upcoming Disney Plus series <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/secret-invasion-marvel-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;
