Los Angeles, CA – Following his conviction for assault and harassment of ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, Jonathan Majors has been fired from his role as Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, rumors suggest that the character will make a return to the screen.
Reports have been conflicting regarding Marvel’s plans for the character, but there is now speculation that the studio intends to recast The Conqueror. Colman Domingo has been mentioned as a possible replacement.
According to a post by Justin Kroll, it appears likely that another actor will eventually step into the Kang role. Kroll cautions fans not to expect any casting news in the near future. He adds that while he doesn’t have information regarding the validity of recent rumors, he bets on other Marvel announcements being made before any news about Kang.
In addition, Jeff Sneider comments that the priority for Marvel at the moment does not seem to be casting Kang. He lists other projects, including getting directors for the next Avengers and Spider-Man films and fixing Captain America, as higher priorities.
It seems that Marvel will provide updates on various other MCU projects and their Phase 5 and 6 plans before making any Kang-related announcements. However, it is understood that Kevin Feige is considering potential replacements for the character.
Regarding the next Avengers movie, it is rumored that the previously planned subtitle, “The Kang Dynasty,” has been dropped. Internally, the project is now referred to as “Avengers 5.” There is speculation that the current storyline may be revamped as “Secret Wars Part 1,” with reports suggesting that the events of Loki season 2 will inform the main plotline, ensuring Kang’s continued involvement as a central character.
Jonathan Majors will be sitting down for his first on-screen interview since his conviction this Monday, providing insight into his experiences. This interview could shed light on his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
