Actor Jonathan Majors, who already played and was supposed to play the villain Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) – he made his debut in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumnaia” – was found guilty of assault and harassment after trial relating to the incident with his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari.
This represents a surprising blow to Majors’ growing career in Hollywood. Before his arrest in March, Majors was considered a key figure in the new phase of the Marvel franchise, with the studio building the current story around his character. However, with the majors dealing with legal issues, Marvel must decide how to move forward.
Second The Hollywood journalist, one option for Marvel is to cast a new actor in the role, but it’s unclear how many actors would be willing to take on a role that has already been “tarnished” by a public firing. The other option is to revamp your plans and focus on a new villain.
Marvel sources suggest the studio is already exploring this alternative, with Loki creator Michael Waldron working on a new script for what was previously known as “Kang Dynasty” but is now called “Avengers 5.”
Marvel has had months to prepare for this situation, and it’s possible that Waldron’s involvement was part of the course correction. In the past, the studio has merged roles due to creative and financial disputes, but never due to legal issues.
For example: Terrence Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle in the “Iron Man” sequel, while Edward Norton was replaced by Mark Ruffalo in “The Incredible Hulk.”
