[edit]Ajak
[edit]Ajak(portrayed bySalma Hayek) is the wise and spiritual leader of theEternals,who possesses healing abilities and functions as the "bridge" between the Eternals and theCelestialArishem.Based on this dynamic, Ajak is aware that the Emergence will occur, and she decides to try to stop it in the present day based on her growing love for humanity. However, fellow Eternal Ikaris sees this as betrayal and leads her to be killed by the Deviants, withSersibecoming the new bridge to Arishem.
Hayek was originally hesitant when she was offered the role, assuming she would only have a role as a supporting character of "grandmother."[1]Ajak's comic-book counterpart is male, and Hayek stated that making the change to female allowed her to lean into the character's femininity as a "mother figure" to the rest of the Eternals.[2]

In the comics, the character is aTibetanman, while the film version is an androgynousCeltic.[4]Swinton's casting was widely criticized aswhitewashing.[5]DirectorScott Derricksonand co-writerC. Robert Cargillwanted to avoid adapting the character as portrayed in the comics, as they felt it was perpetuating AsianFu Manchustereotypes from the time period, while also aggravating theTibetan sovereignty debate.Derrickson initially wanted to change the character to an Asian woman, but he felt that this would either invoke theDragon Ladystereotype orAsian fetishism,depending on the age of the actress. He also wanted to avoid the stereotype of a "Western character coming to Asia to learn about being Asian," so he ultimately decided to cast a non-Asian actor in the role.[6]Swinton was cast because Derrickson felt that she could play the "domineering, secretive, ethereal, enigmatic, [and] mystical" side of the character.[7]Swinton also chose to portray the character as androgynous, though using female pronouns. Derrickson said he was pleased with the diversity of the film's cast, in terms of both gender and ethnicity, but acknowledged that "Asians have been whitewashed and stereotyped in American cinema for over a century and people should be mad or nothing will change. What I did was the lesser of two evils, but it is still an evil."[6]Looking back at the casting in May 2021, Feige said the studio thought they were being "so smart and so cutting-edge" when they avoided the wise old Asian man stereotype, but the criticism of the casting was a wake-up call that made them realize they could have cast an Asian actor in the role without falling into stereotypes.[8]

Kang the Conqueror
[edit]Kang the Conqueror(portrayed byJonathan Majors) is a powerful time-traveling being who exists in many forms, or "variants", across themultiverse.His most notable variants include theTime Variance Authority(TVA) creatorHe Who Remains,the 19th-century industrialistVictor Timely,andImmortus,the leader of theCouncil of Kangs.
Kang the Conqueror debuted inAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.A multiversal traveler in the newly created multiverse who believed that the multiverse was dying due to his variants, he attempted to instigate a war to stop them, only to be captured by the Council of Kangs and exiled to the Quantum Realm. There, he met Janet van Dyne and worked with her to fix his ship's energy core and take them both home. After years of failed attempts, they successfully re-powered it, but she learned of his true nature and used her Pym Particles to prevent him from accessing the core before she eventually escaped the Quantum Realm. Despite this, Kang conquered it, built a new empire, swayed Janet's old Quantum Realm friend Lord Krylar to his side, and recruited Darren Cross into his ranks. In 2026, Janet, Hank Pym, their daughter Hope van Dyne, Scott Lang, and his daughter Cassie are transported to the Quantum Realm, getting separated in the process. Kang captures the Langs and manipulates Scott into retrieving the core; Scott was successful, but Kang obtains the core and betrays Scott. After Cassie instigates a rebellion against him, Kang engages Scott in battle until Hope helps him knock Kang into the core. In the mid-credits scene of Quantumania, the Council of Kangs, led byImmortus,Rama-Tut,andCenturion,discuss the fate of "The Exiled One".
Since 2021, Majors also played alternate versions of the character in theLokiseries. The first-season finale sees the debut ofHe Who Remains,the founder of the TVA. He Who Remains reveals toLokiandSylviethat he destroyed the original multiverse and created the TVA to control the flow of the "Sacred Timeline" and prevent a new multiverse from forming due to the vast Multiversal War that had broken out in the previous one; after overlooking the timeline for eons, He Who Remains claims that he seeks to retire, restoring free will to allow Loki and Sylvie to decide whether to take his place and lead the TVA, or kill him, create a new multiverse and allow a new Multiversal War to begin. Sylvie chooses to kill He Who Remains, sending Loki back to the TVA.[107]It is later revealed that He Who Remains previously openly ruled the TVA and had a romance withRavonna Renslayerbefore wiping their memories of his existence. Loki later travels back in time to before He Who Remains' death and learns that He Who Remains had actually orchestrated everything that had occurred after his death, including Loki's time slipping. He Who Remains insists that the only option is to kill Sylvie and prevent his death to keep the timeline from branching so as to keep his variants away. While Loki nearly gives in and saves He Who Remains, he instead finds another solution by weaving together the timeline branches intoYggdrasilwith Loki at the heart of it maintaining them.
TheLokisecond-seasonepisode "1893"seesMiss Minutesand Ravonna Renslayer follow a roadmap left by He Who Remains before his death to create a new version of him in the new Multiverse; on finding a youngVictor Timelyas a child in the 19th Century, they leave him withOuroboros's TVA handbook, before proceeding to later on in his life in 1893, when as an adult, he now is an eager scientist seeking to build a time loom based on his reading of the handbook. After Loki andMobius M. Mobiusfind Victor at one of his shows, they attempt to bring him back to the TVA to help fix a problem with their Time loom (locked to He Who Remains' temporal aura), only to be interrupted by Miss Minutes, Renslayer, and Sylvie, the latter two attempting to kill Victor before changing their minds, and the former attempting to seduce him. After Victor and Sylvie send Miss Minutes and Renslayer back to theCitadel at the End of Time,where He Who Remains' corpse is now rotting, Miss Minutes decides to tell Renslayer about her history, while Loki and Mobius bring Victor to the TVA. When Timely arrives at the TVA, he meets B-15, Casey, and O.B. When they prepare the device to fix the loom, he is kidnapped by Renslayer, Miss Minutes, and X-5, and while they interrogate him, Sylvie, with her charm, causes X-5 to prune Renslayer and Miss Minutes is deactivated. When Timely tries to fix the loom, he is killed. After Loki travels by controlling the time he spends by focusing on one person, Timely survives and manages to fix the loom, but the infinite number of branches make it mathematically impossible. Subsequently, Loki manages to weave the branches into Yggdrasil, allowing the Multiverse to survive. Afterwards, in 1868, a young Victor variant does not receive the TVA handbook, sending him on a different path.
