A recent report has indicated that Marvel Studios has not internally discussed recasting Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror for the upcoming Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, despite the actor’s recent arrest for alleged assault in New York City. However, rumors have suggested that discussions have been had, and Marvel might be considering a recast with an actor like Damson Idris.

Talent Management And PR Drops

Entertainment 360, the talent management company representing Majors, has reportedly dropped the actor after his arrest. Additionally, The Lede Company PR firm, which was handling Majors’ public relations, has also dropped him. These drops seem to be in response to the arrest and charges, which occurred at a time when Majors was seeing great success in the industry with upcoming projects like Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Creed III.

Silence From Marvel And Disney

Marvel and Disney have remained completely silent about the alleged assault and the arrest, leading fans to wonder what the future holds for the actor in the MCU. It’s worth noting that given the backlash Majors faced following his arrest, a recast for Kang’s character in the upcoming Avengers film wouldn’t come as a surprise to many fans.

Closed-Door Discussions

While the recent report suggests that Marvel has not discussed a recast for Majors, it’s possible that closed-door discussions have taken place. With Majors’ talent manager and PR firm dropping him and the upcoming Avengers film set to feature Kang in a major role, it seems likely that discussions about the actor’s future in the MCU will become inevitable. If these discussions have not already started quietly, they could begin soon.
