Hell No Longer Play KANG in the MCU
WEB: The Forthcoming Avengers Film Will Have Its Title Changed After Lead Star Jonathan Majors Was Found.
WEB: Jonathan Majors Dropped By Marvel After Conviction.
Marvel Studios has announced that Jonathan Majors will no longer play Kang the Conqueror in the upcoming Avengers film. The news comes after Majors was found guilty of assault. A statement from Marvel Studios said, "We have decided to recast the role of Kang in the Avengers film. We thank Jonathan Majors for his work on the project and wish him all the best in the future."
Majors was convicted of felony assault in October 2022. He was sentenced to six months in jail and five years of probation. The charges stemmed from an incident in which Majors allegedly punched a man in the face.
The recasting of Kang is a major setback for Marvel Studios. Majors was a key part of the marketing campaign for the Avengers film, and his departure is sure to disappoint fans. It is unclear who will replace Majors in the role of Kang.
The Avengers film is scheduled to be released in May 2023. It is the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Four. The film is expected to feature a star-studded cast, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Mark Ruffalo.
The casting change is a reminder that even the biggest Hollywood stars are not immune to the consequences of their actions. Majors' conviction is a serious matter, and it is understandable that Marvel Studios would want to distance themselves from him. It remains to be seen how the recasting of Kang will affect the Avengers film, but it is sure to be a major talking point among fans.
