A few hours ago Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment charges made against him, and the first important updates on steps taken by Marvel Studios against the actor.
As reported by DeadlineKevin Feige and the rest of the top level of Marvel Studios decided to continue to cast the actor who, we remember, was supposed to be the main villain of the Multiverse Saga in the role of the scary. You are the Conqueror.
The 34-year-old actor debuted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the first season of Loki. Here he played He Who Remains, the very first variant of the character that fans were introduced to. Kang’s official debut on the big screen takes place in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniawhile including the second season of Loki we see him again as the scientist Victor Timely.
In the original plans of Kevin Feige and colleagues, Kang was supposed to represent the great threat of post-Thanos era expanding the danger throughout the Multiverse thanks to its countless variants, all of which must have the face of the Majors.
Kang’s story should therefore have found its peak in the two films that had to close the narrative arc of the Multiverse Saga, that is Avengers: The Kang Dynasty And Avengers: Secret Wars. However, this possibility is no longer out of the question heavily debated.
Leaving a figure like Jonathan Majors, around whom the entire macrolot of Phases 5 and 6 of the MCU is built, is indeed risky. destroy the project as originally conceived by Marvel Studios.
Ironically, the recent postponements of Marvel movies caused by the screenwriters’ and actors’ strikes that returned weeks ago, may have offered the studio an opportunity to take it easy and await the evolution of the plaintiff’s legal situation, with the final decision expected on February 6, 2024.
Marvel Studios certainly won’t sit back, and it will be interesting to understand in the coming months if they choose simple actor recast or if they decide to intervene in history by diminishing the role of Kang the Conqueror and suggest a new threat on the horizon.
