LOKI Star Jonathan Majors "Cannot Say Anything" About Kang's Future Amid Rumors He'll Make MCU Return

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors has once again been asked about possibly returning to the MCU as the villainous Kang the Conqueror, and plays surprisingly coy about what's next...

In December 2023, Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors was found guilty of one count of reckless assault in the third degree and a charge of harassment as a violation, prompting Marvel Studios to immediately sever ties with him.

That came after an altercation with his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, though Majors has long maintained his innocence. He's since completed a 52-week domestic violence intervention program and, following the low-key release of Magazine Dreams (which once looked like it might land him an Oscar), the actor hopes to mount a comeback. 

Could Marvel Studios give him a second chance in the MCU as Kang? His take on the time-travelling villain was well-received by fans and critics, and we're still waiting for an explanation when it comes to the pivot from Kang to Doctor Doom as the Multiverse Saga's big bad.

At the very least, the hope is that we'll discover how Doom dealt with Kang, especially as Loki and the Ant-Man threequel established him as a threat to the Multiverse ahead of what sounded like another Multiversal War. 

The U.S. Sun spoke with Majors, and he supposedly "grinned ear-to-ear" upon being asked about rumours he'll make an MCU return. "I cannot say anything about that," he started, "trying to play coy but unable to hide his smile," according to the outlet.

Pushed on whether there's anything in the works, Majors responded, "Well, it's a Multiverse, so there's always that. Always a lot of opportunity for that," he noted, adding that he was "very glad" to hear that many fans want him back. 

Earlier this year, the He Who Remains actor reflected on a member of his legal team breaking the news to him that his time in the MCU had ended...moments after he walked out of the criminal courthouse in lower Manhattan. 

"He goes, 'I’m just gonna tell you now,'" Majors recalled. "'That way you’re not surprised, and you can start processing it. They fired you. Marvel fired you.'"

"There were days when it was like, 'Is this real?'" he said of the weeks that followed. "It’s a heartbreak like I’ve never experienced and it just compounded and compounded."

"No relation to the big guys, DC or Marvel, but a pretty wicked story," Majors said of another superhero project he's now circling. "I’m glad to be reading." Talking about the resumption of his career, Majors added, "Sometimes it feels like it’s not going to happen. And sometimes it feels like we start next week."

Original plans called for the next Avengers movie to be titled The Kang Dynasty. It's since been renamed as Doomsday, though the Multiverse Saga is still set to conclude with Avengers: Secret Wars. A cameo from Majors, while highly unlikely, is still possible.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released on December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027.

@mountainman - Why? He's far less of a disaster than RDJ's Doom who will come from nowhere with zero buildup
mountainman
mountainman - 10/8/2025, 11:29 AM
@WalletsClosed - Kang has zero buildup either other than losing easily every time we’ve seen him, even to ants. One of the worst MCU villains we’ve seen yet.
WalletsClosed
WalletsClosed - 10/8/2025, 11:38 AM
@mountainman - We've seen Kang on screen and involved in actual story. Now it was awful, but at least it's... there. With RDJ, We got a horrible 2 second post credit scene of Doom and nothing else. As a result and by default, Doomsday will be a disaster and infinitely worse than whatever the hell Kang Dynasty was going to be.

@mountainman - The character isn’t the problem, it was the execution of the character. They should have avoided the multiversal aspect of the character and just made him a dude from the future with advanced technology just like in his first appearances in EMH.

I am not opposed to him coming back in fact it could add some good story plot points given the multiverse nature of the films BUT he was not very menacing so I could only see him serving as a jobber for Doom.
JackDeth
JackDeth - 10/8/2025, 10:52 AM
That will never happen. His career is over, unless he pulls a Chris Brown and does indy stuff for a smaller audience.

TheVisionary25 - 10/8/2025, 10:55 AM
@JackDeth - idk

I feel if he dies the work and shows that he’s overcome his issues then I could see him slowly coming back but we’ll see.

cubrn - 10/8/2025, 11:28 AM
@TheVisionary25 - the article states that he completed a 52 week domestic violence course and he’s been in a serious relationship for three years without any further domestic violence issues so I’d say he’s taken steps to overcome the situation.
RolandD
RolandD - 10/8/2025, 11:34 AM
@cubrn - It’s possible although domestic violence is seriously under reported.

A really good actor and his portrayal in Loki was an excellent balance of indifference and menace. I have no issue with the actor returning, despite the hue & cry but it would require a serious rewrite. Kang was a total blouse in Quantumania.
cubrn
cubrn - 10/8/2025, 11:31 AM
@FallenThomas - I liked him in Quantumania. He was depoweref during that movie and was not operating at full capacity. I think the point of his full arc was going to be him returning at maximum power with variants popping up in between.
LenSpiderman
LenSpiderman - 10/8/2025, 11:58 AM
@cubrn - yeah I think impatient viewers were this Kang’s biggest problem. I kind of thought the whole point of him was establishing him over the entire saga. He wasn’t weak in Loki, he was exhausted, he was calculating, and he was baiting them. He was essentially in prison in ant man (which is way better than people give it credit for) so obviously it wasn’t going to be easy for him to win or show off his full strength. The council of Kang’s wouldn’t banish him somewhere he could be fully powered and escape easily. I also don’t assume he died in that movie but escaped or, like in Loki, planned for that outcome as part of the bigger picture. No, the council of Kang’s did look ridiculous on screen (but it was comic accurate), and Marvel missed plenty of opportunities to work him in to other projects, but that doesn’t warrant a death penalty for the character, particularly in the multiverse where recasting would have been so easy, and require no explanation.

@LenSpiderman - It's rare to see an intelligent take on here, thanks man. you are on point with everything you said. This site has become a negativity circle jerk over the past year (makes me wonder why most of the people come to this site as they hate EVERYTHING comic book related that comes out...I swear they just love to complain). It would be dope if Kang came back, to at least finish his arc. Doom should have been saved for the next saga, so we could have felt his presence through-out the whole saga. Dr. Doom had no presence in in the first 2 phases of this saga, so it's kinda lame for him to be the big bad guy. There is no build up, and they are making no attempt to build up the character.
Again, your take is very good and it's nice to know that there are people on this site aside from whiny man babies.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/8/2025, 10:54 AM
Interesting…

His response makes me think he may back which is interesting and also kinda unfortunate since I would rather they then have stuck with Kang and his variants as the Big Bads for the Avengers films but oh well , it is what it is now.

At this point , I can see him being an ally to Doom or likely that character wiping out the Kang Council to not only stop their threat in universe but also establish him as a threat to the heroes & the audience.

Anyway , it’s unfortunate how things played out since it seemed like Majors was in a toxic relationship but hopefully he’s worked on himself now to overcome his issues…

I rather enjoyed his portrayal of the various “Kang’s” so I would be down to see him again!!.

"he noted, adding that he was "very glad" to hear that many fans want him back."

No one wants him back. Every version of his Kang was abysmal. Loki S2 was probably the best version because they told him to tone it down. His conquerer version was neither scary, intimidating, cunning or intelligent. The script didn't help him. The second they made him a multiverse traveler instead of a time traveler, it was curtains. They kept using the word time but even in Loki S1, the variants didnt travel through time together, they traveled universes. In Antman, Janet sees him destroying entire universes.

Only the MCU could screw up such an iconic villain. Even with that, his performance was terrible.

mountainman - 10/8/2025, 11:19 AM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - Victor Timely in Loki S2 might have been the worst version of Kang. Overacted and annoying in every scene he was in. Despite how lame him being defeated by Ants was, Quantumania was the best version of Kang we got, and he was still a sub par villain.

@CreateNowSlpL8r - The worst version of Kang will be better than RDJ's Doom. Me and everyone who's rational would rather have him back than this doomsday garbage
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 10/8/2025, 11:50 AM
@mountainman - Terrible performance all the way around. I low key think Marvel wanted him out anyway once they knew they screwed it up.

WalletsClosed - You won't get an argument from me. I dont care what they do, RDJ cannot be doom in the MCU. Add to that, all the overage X-men, the C level Avengers, and whatever version of the FF that is supposed to be and I don't see the draw for this movie at all.

Its like a What If! movie. Somewhere along the way, Feige forgot that what made the MCU was being comic accurate and brilliant casting. The guy fell in love with the reflection in the mirror when in reality, it was better talent that built the MCU and people like Ike Perlmutter that kept Feige from his worst tendencies by treating the MCU as a business, not an activism platform.

People will argue with me and somehow dismiss 3 financial disappointments THIS year.

@CreateNowSlpL8r - speak for yourself and don't be an idiot thinking that just because you liked him that nobody liked him. aside from this circle jerk of negativity website, I see EVERYWHERE else wanting him back as Kang. it was literally all over Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and on other comic book websites.
His performance was the only good thing about every Marvel movie he appeared in.

Bring him BACK. The underutilized beginning could create room for an excellent segway.

Allow Kang to lose. A lot. On purpose. The entirety of his defeat is only for informative purposes, that will lead to increased difficulty in future battles.

They COULD make this work... but knowing Disney, they'd likely recast him with KeKe Palmer and have her and Scarlet Witch talk it out... 🙄 😒
