Following Jonathan Majors‘ arrest on March 25 for the alleged strangulation, assault, and harassment of his girlfriend, Marvel Studios is reportedly considering its options for the actor who plays Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Impact On Majors’ Career

Majors’ legal team has claimed that he is “provably the victim” and that there is evidence to support this. Nonetheless, the charges have already impacted Majors’ acting career, with the US Army pulling an ad campaign featuring him.

Marvel’s Silence And Discussions With Majors’ Agent

Despite various developments following Majors’ arrest, including the prompt pulling of the ad campaign, Marvel Studios has remained silent. According to Jeff Sneider, an insider who spoke on The Hot Mic podcast, Marvel has not made any decisions about Majors’ future in the franchise. However, the studio has been in contact with Majors’ agent to discuss potential options going forward.

Majors’ Next MCU Appearance

Majors has already filmed his next MCU appearance as Kang Variant Victor Timely in Loki Season 2. However, rumors suggest that the Disney+ series will feature more Kangs.

Marvel Studios faces a challenging situation as it has built a significant part of the next three years of storytelling around Majors’ Kang. Moreover, Majors’ acting received almost all the limited praise for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.

Marvel Studios will likely want to avoid taking any rash or impulsive action and allow more time to pass before making any decisions. The studio may consider various options, including continuing forward with the actor, dialing back Kang’s role, or recasting the Multiversal villain with another star.
