Tranquility is conspicuous by its absence at the Disney offices. It is well known that the entertainment giant always flees from conflicts that could stain her name and right now one of the fat ones is planning on her: it turns out that Jonathan Majors He is involved in serious problems with his ex-partner and his role as the villain Kang the Conqueror could even be jeopardized within MCU. Just in case this happens, we have already set to work to propose to Marvel Studios some ideas for substitutes. Let’s see what you think.
What happened to Jonathan Majors?
Everything was going smoothly with what could be said to be the man of the UCM fashion. We had already seen it in the series Loki, But his stellar performance and his reaffirmation as the new great villain of the Marvel movies was in Quantumania. And it is that although the Ant-Man and the Wasp tape has had very different reviews, they have all agreed on the same thing: the character of Kang the Conqueror suits Jonathan Majors like a glove, thus having a promising future within the franchise.
Well that’s if your personal problems don’t prevent it. It turns out that the actor was arrested several weeks ago on charges of assaulting his wife. It is true that he has denied what happened at all times and her now ex-partner even dropped the charges, but many believe that this movement could be due to the tireless pressure she has received to retract it. In the midst of everything is hubbub, there have been not a few professionals in the sector who have dared to speak, feeding the bad image of the artist by commenting that he is a difficult, abusive and somewhat violent person on set, which has not not helped Majors’ image at all. Some have come to brand him as a sociopath.
Putting things like this, the rumors about his possible replacement in the UCM are getting stronger. disney doesn’t want trouble and when he comes across issues of this type related to his actors, he usually cuts his losses, so as not to tarnish his immaculate reputation. Some experts indicate that as much as the company would like to, Majors’ current agreement prevents it from firing him for this reason, but things are so messed up at the moment that we would not be surprised if the firm ends up finding the necessary legal loophole to do without this actor. , which has already dropped several projects after the news of his arrest.
Alternatives to Majors as Kang
The dead to the hole and the living to the bun, as the saying would say. Putting things like this, there is no time to lose and we do not doubt that Disney and Marvel Studios are already preparing alternatives in case they finally break their relationship with the actor. These are the three actors who could replace him:
damson idris
This British actor is currently working on the police drama snowfall and we have seen it appear in series like Black Mirror. He does not have a very long career (he is 31 years old), which could benefit him as someone relatively unknown to the general public and with whom to start from 0 to give life to the great villain of Phase 5. If we put him first on the list it is because he is the first in the pools. Take note.
john david washington
Denzel Washington’s son hasn’t stopped lately and we’ve seen him in big productions like Amsterdam, Tent or Malcolm & Marie. Many accuse him of not being a particularly expressive actor, so he could be a handicap considering the very human character that Majors has managed to print on Kang.
john boyega
It has been said that Boyega could also join the UCM taking over from Jonathan, the problem is that it is inevitable to see him and not remember Star Wars, which would undoubtedly work against him. There is a greater impediment also involved: at the time, the actor complained about the treatment racist that Disney gave to his role, leaving him as second best. It will be difficult to leave such statements in oblivion…
Tell us, which actor do you like the most out of these three? do you have any other proposal?
