Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is reportedly being referred to by a different name internally at Marvel Studios, but the implications remain unclear.

Summary

The upcoming Avengers film is now being referred to as Avengers 5, potentially indicating a change in the role of Kang as a villain.
The title change is currently internal and wasn't intended to be made public, so it's uncertain what it means for the movie's plot.
It may be easier for Marvel Studios to recast Kang rather than introduce a new villain, as other projects in Phase 5 and 6 may have already been written with Kang's storyline in mind.
