He stated in an interview that, "you almost need to broaden him out a little bit too, maybe broaden out into the multiverse a little more, the dimensionality of the character, the limitless freedom he has while also being completely uprooted from his time and himself." Loveness also expressed his desire to extrapolate as much from the pre-established material in the comic books, but exclaimed that the intent was to put a "completely new spin" on the story, stressing that "If you just do a 100% comic book adaptation people know all the tricks and what to expect. You have to use that as a foundation and then throw a curveball".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Clark |first=Campbell |date=2023-01-27 |title=Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Writer Teases More Kang Variants To Come |url=https://lrmonline.com/news/avengers-the-kang-dynasty-writer-teases-more-kang-variants-to-come/ |access-date=2023-01-28 |website=LRM |language=en-US}}</ref> Loveness also teased the possibility of further variants of Kang appearing in ''The Kang Dynasty'', specifically denoting his own research into characters such as [[Rama-Tut]] and [[Scarlet Centurion]].
