If a new rumour is to be believed, Marvel Studios is making plans to address its Kang the Conqueror problem, with Loki season 2 reportedly set to explain Jonathan Majors' future as the iconic villain.

Marvel Studios has a Kang the Conqueror problem. 

Jonathan Majors first played the villain in Loki, only to portray literally countless Variants of the villain in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Not long after that movie was released, the actor found himself in the midst of an alleged case of domestic abuse that will see him up in court sometime this summer. 

Things aren't looking good for Majors, especially after texts meant to prove his innocence instead led to online accusations of emotional abuse as well. 

As a result, there's pressure on Marvel Studios to recast Kang, though it looks like they're waiting to see how things go for Majors in court first. It's not a good look, but it appears a decision may have finally been made. And things will become clear once Loki season 2 wraps up on Disney+ later this year. 

According to scooper @AlexFromCC, there are no plans to ditch the ongoing Multiverse storyline that's set to culminate with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. However, Majors' MCU future will reportedly become clear by the time Loki ends. 

With the series pushed back to October 6, that leaves enough time for reshoots which can clear up the actor's future, or lack thereof, as Kang. Perhaps something will happen which results in the villain's appearance being changed? A simple recast would be easier, but Marvel Studios rarely heads down that route. 

Hopefully, we'll have more details to share with you soon.

"things will get clearer with Loki 2."

I wouldn't be too sure, it was written and filmed before all this mess and long ago Kevin Feige said the Disney+ shows were effectively irrelevant and wouldn't be needed to understand the over-arcing story-line.

Warner Bros doesn't produce Loki.

They do produce and promote another project starring someone with even worse behaviour, though. Let's not pretend not to see his point.

@DrReedRichards

I know his point - just think it’s funny that people on the internet expect them to reshoot the entire movie.

If Jonathan Majors is cut and recast from Season 2 then you guys can get up and tell us how much better Marvel Studios is than everyone else. But they’re not going to do that.

Marvel and DC are going to release these projects and recast both roles. Ezra isn’t even promoting his movie 😂 the dude is done.

@regularmovieguy - Jokes aside, they had over 3 years to replace him, which is easily done with CGi, and considering 90% of this movie is greenscreen...

@TheHumanSpider2

Did you watch Army of the Dead? All of Tig Notaro's scenes were awkwardly shot and she was never actually on camera with any of the other characters.

Pretty cool that they able to remove Chris D'Elia but that would be much harder to do on an already 200 mil + production where Ezra is essentially playing two characters and is in 95% of the movie.
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 5/18/2023, 11:50 AM
@regularmovieguy - I didnt noticed it until I read she was a replacement.

If Zack Snyder can make this in a matter of weeks with a Netflix budget, Warner certaintly can do the same in a matter of years with a $300M budget.

The reason why Ezra wasnt replaced is OBVIOUS, and it has become ridiculous seeing his fellow white male pedos in Hollywood trying to come up with excuses.

Have I or have I not made it clear that I have my gripes with the MCU, despite still treating it as the most successful franchise of all time (which it objectively is)?

In all seriousness though, there's literally no scenario where Marvel can come out looking good. No matter their course of action, recasting instantly or later down the line, there'll be whining from either side.

But the fact remains that WB could have and should have acted a lot sooner and a lot more drastically regarding Ezra. We've known about that moron's behaviour for how long now? Now, comparre that to how long we've known about Majors' and how quickly action seems to be taken.

In that regard, then yes; Marvel very much is better than Warner in resolving these issues.

Lol, Marvel hasn't said a word. They still have Loki S2 coming out in November and will probably avoid the conversation entirely until then. Pretty reasonable to think that both studios are recasting behind the scenes. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. I said the same thing when this shit was going in 2020. The studio will be quiet until the movie comes out, Ezra won't promote Flash, and they will recast. It became even clearer when Gunn said he's making a new DCU.

Marvel does not need to say anything. Marvel did, or rather Marvel seems to have done, and that's all that matters. They met with an error in their judgement, and they se to have acted accordingly.

More importantly, though, you're either genuinely missing my point, or you're deliberately avoiding it. How long have WB known about Ezra's shenanigans? 'Cause, and please correct me if I'm wrong on this one, this erratic pattern started long before their production was well into the point of no return.

And you know this how? Why do they not have to say anything but WB does? He's being accused of assaulting another Marvel employee, haha. Look I have no interest in continuing which studio handled the conversation around an abuser better. That's a clown conversation, especially when each of them is doing exactly what you'd think they'd do.

What is the point btw maybe I am missing it.
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 5/18/2023, 12:52 PM
@regularmovieguy -

Majors' behaviour was outed as that of an abuser, and Marvel is reportedly taking steps to recast him ASAP. Maybe not officially with a statement from the studio themselves, but the projects he's already shot seems to be his last.

Ezra, on the other hand, has been repeatedly reported being a public menace for years now, before shooting was well underway on The Flash, but all is well in the land of WB. Leslie Nielsen "nothing to see here" gif.

Do you really not see the difference here, my friend?

“ Ezra, on the other hand, has been repeatedly reported being a public menace for years now, before shooting was well underway on The Flash, but all is well in the land of WB”

I am unaware of Ezra’s struggles outside of what happened from 2020 to now. Again, I really don’t care to argue about which studio handles what better. Marvel included Bill Murray in Quantumania after he shut down an entire production also under Disney and they just released a trailer with Ms. Marvel’s dad who was accused of grooming and asking for sexually explicit images of a minor.

Both studios just want to protect their bottom line. That’s all I’m saying. Neither one is more righteous than the other.
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 5/18/2023, 1:10 PM
@regularmovieguy -

Woah, I never said anything about "more righteous"! All I said and insist on is that Marvel are better (= faster and more efficient) in resolving these issues. Again, just look at the chronology of each studio dealing with their respective actors and their reported problematic behaviour.

@DrReedRichards - Aaaaand…..your point STILL has not been answered

Just more non-sequiters and attempts to duck on the nihilist high road

Ezra was/IS a repeat offender, with a buffet spread of cancelable (as disgusting as that pejorative is) offenses, whose ‘foibles’ were well within public purview for YEARS prior to cameras rolling. Majors isn’t even 8 weeks into non-disclosed, non-substantiated allegations and is already being bandied as a certifiable ‘abuser’ and has been afforded exactly zero due process beyond a four week court continuence 🤔

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused by your wording here. Are you agreeing with me that Ezra should have been dealt with sooner, or are you disagreeing in dealing with Majors so soon?
SauronthePower
SauronthePower - 5/20/2023, 11:29 AM
@DrReedRichards - agreeing completely with you on Ezra and reinforcing the irony (this is not against you) of Majors effectively getting ‘cancelled’ Day 2 into his own situation. This response wasn’t directed at you but was tagged in relation to the question you posited, multiple times, that went unanswered, multiple times

Who needs a recast when they can just kill him off screen then have his sister be the new conqueror ?

Honestly, just bring back High Evolutionary from GotG3, he's not a complex character but at least the audience like him and will be aware who he is.

Scrap this stupid Kang plotline that nobody is invested in.

Yeah…I think recast is the best option, unless they are bold enough to introduce Doom and have him be the big bad. Honestly with how poor the multiverse saga has been going, that might be the better option. Of course, the rewrites would be tremendous, but on the positive side it’s not like many of these phase 4-5 projects have connected that much with each other. I mean, other than Loki and Antman 3 Kang has been null and void. Whereas marvel can keep the Fontaine/ Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers story progressing.
