    The problem is that Quantumania post-credits. >!It’s a lot harder to explain a recasting as multiverse shenanigans when they showed so many copies of him that all looked the same.!<

      I mean, Bruce Banner isn’t Edward Norton anymore, and Rhodey isn’t Terrance Howard anymore. Those didnt even need multiversal hand waving to explain away. People just accepted it.

        I was about to post this. You don’t need some huge, complex reason to change actors. It’s already been done and no one batted an eye.

          I mean, if you ask me Don Cheadle has never brought the same magnetic energy that Terrance Howard did but oh well.

      Yeah, but still. If there are variants where he’s different colors there are variants where he’s physically different in other ways too, kinda like Loki and Sylvie. Also, if I remember correctly there was a variant in that scene who looked like an alien or something.

      Not really. You’ve got all the hand wavey things you can do with multiverse stuff, plus Loki at the helm can literally make anything specific happen. Even to suppression of all but specific variants. Renslayer or John Boyega, etc
