The Best Way For Marvel To Handle Kang If Jonathan Majors Is Out Of The Franchise
Should Marvel really recast Majors or is there another way? Fans got some ideas.
Jonathan Majors has already been introduced to the MCU and played the variants of the current saga's biggest threat — Kang The Conqueror.
He first appeared in Loki season 2 as He Who Remains, and will appear in season 2 as another Kang's variant — Victor Timely. And of course, we've seen Kang and his multiple variants in Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania.
It is yet unclear how the situation revolving around Jonathan Majors will resolve as the next court hearing for his case is scheduled for June 13.
However, MCU fans are already speculating on how Marvel should handle the situation, if Majors is found guilty. We are going to explore the best theories that fans shared on Reddit.
One potential solution suggests that they should recast the villain every time he appears in the future projects of the MCU. So basically every new variant will be portrayed by a new actor.
Marvel might even introduce seemingly harmless and friendly characters, later revealed to be variants of Kang. The possibilities are endless.
It was already established in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Loki that the variants of the same character from different universes may have different appearances and even genders.
Strangely enough, we've seen only variants of Doctor Strange who all looked the same.
Anyway, many people consider one-actor recast to be the best option, as it does not require an explanation within the universe.
The same way they did recast with Rhodey, Bruce Banner and General Ross (in the upcoming Captain America 4).
Another interesting theory is that Marvel may later reveal that the antagonist of the latest Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 — High Evolutionary — might also be Kang's variant.
Those who've watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, think it is possible that High Evolutionary can be Kang's variant as they share some similarities. Moreover, fans point out that Chukwudi Iwuji was just amazing in this role.
Fans suggested some great options, but let's not forget that Majors wasn't sentenced yet, and it's a bit early to push the panic button.
Let's hope Majors will not be found guilty, if he really isn't, and we will see him in the MCU again.
