According to Variety, the new series The Pitt will premiere on TNT with three episodes each week, starting December 1, 2025, and continuing through December 29, 2025. TNT will air the episodes without any edits, despite their TV-MA rating for strong medical content.

Before the planned release of The Kang Dynasty, audiences were introduced to Jonathan Majors’ character and his different versions in Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. However, with Doomsday just over a year away and filming completed, very little is known about the MCU’s Doctor Doom—including whether the character has even truly been introduced yet—or how much of the original plan for Kang remains in the current script.
