If you're one to believe rumors then actor Colman Domingo is stated to be one of several actors that Marvel Studios is eyeing to replace Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror.
Majors was fired by Marvel Studios on December 18, 2023, after being found guilty of guilty of reckless assault and harassment in his high-profile domestic violence trial. Majors had previously played Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantomania and in Loki season 1 and 2.
As of this date, (though Majors will not be portraying him) it's thought that Kang the Conqueror is still a prominent component of Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars, which will close out the MCU's Multiversal Saga.
Domingo's name surfaced as a potential replacement for Majors right as the actor started his promotional tour for The Color Purple, which has allowed the If Beale Street Could Talk and Rustin actor to weigh in on the rumors.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Domingo had this to share about the current talks surrounding Kang and Marvel.
"I don't know, I'm always looking at what I have to do right now... I know there's talk and conversations around, and I don't know how much is true. I don't even get that from my team, I can't tell if it's true or not."
"The fans are passionate. Somehow my name is out there in the world [and] I like the idea of just having your name called and someone speaking lovingly and kindly about something is a beautiful thing."
That's not a particularly informative answer by any stretch of the imagination but it certainly isn't a no. That might even be considered a win for Marvel as it seems lately, more and more A-list actors are emphatically stating that the MCU and superhero movies, in general, are not something they're looking to explore.
Case in point, when Majors was first fired, fans on social media immediately pointed to John Boyega as a potential replacement but it promptly let it be known that he had no interest.
Additionally, Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton abdicated directorial duties on Avengers 5 and it was revealed that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness scribe Michael Waldron had been hired to rewrite the screenplay for Avengers 5, which had previously been penned by Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania’s Jeff Loveness.
It's clear that Avengers 5 is currently being reworked and it's even thought that it might no longer be titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
While we await confirmation on whether that's the case, let us know if you're in favor of Domingo replacing Majors or if you think there's a better candidate.
