Jeff Loveness praises Avengers: The Kang Dynasty director Destin Daniel Cretton

• Jeff Loveness will be writing the Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
• The author cites Cretton’s prior work as examples of the intimacy he is able to portray through directing.
• Working together can help create a stronger bond among the world’s mightiest heroes.

The newly published Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which started Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was written by Jeff Loveness. He will also be penning the upcoming Avengers movie, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, so he will continue to play a significant role in the series. Especially when it comes to Kang the Conqueror, the new bad guy.

Loveness, in an interview, talked about all things Ant-Man and his upcoming role as the writer for the following Avengers movie. One of the subjects discussed was the director of the 2025 movie, Destin Daniel Cretton, who according to Loveness will give the Avengers team a fresh perspective.

Loveness was asked about his enthusiasm for working with Cretton. The author cited Cretton’s prior work as examples of the intimacy he is able to portray through directing: “I went to see Short Term 12 by myself in the Laemmle theater over on Sunset … I think the theater name changed, but I remember I saw that and was barely in the theater, you know, a little indie movie. But man, there is that scene in Short Term 12 where LaKeith Stanfield finally opens up to Brie Larson. It’s just incredible acting. And I remember thinking, this is obviously phenomenal writing and acting, but the directing is so intimate. Couple that with Jonathan Majors’ performance in The Last Black Man in San Francisco where he’s so tender and so quiet and so deliberate.”

According to Loveness, Majors and Cretton can create a magnificent villain by working together in the following manner: “Take me out of the equation, you know? [Laughs] Throw me out the window! Maybe the internet would love that, I don’t know. [Laughs] But I think those two guys together are gonna make a villain for the ages, and I just want to serve them up the best meal that I can. But I think Destin has such a good control over character and quiet, and moments of human empathy and connection between each other.”

He also makes the point that while the Avengers in earlier movies have worked together, with Cretton, they could be able to forge a greater family bond among the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

“In a superhero movie, that’s make or break. The reason I love the X-Men are because they are a family. The Avengers are coworkers. The X-Men are a family. Or like the Fantastic Four, obviously, are a family. And so, I think to write an Avengers movie that has a bit more of a tender family kind of personal connection, even between their villains, I think will be really exciting to see. So I think Destin’s the right guy for the job.”
