Jonathan Majors Fired By Disney, Kang Arc In MCU Altered

Actor Jonathan Majors appears in court in New York

Following his domestic violence conviction, Jonathan Majors has been swiftly terminated by Disney, leading to a significant shift in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) storyline. The anticipated Kang-based arc has been derailed, with plans now revealing that Doctor Doom, portrayed by former Tony Stark actor Robert Downey Jr., will take center stage.

Majors recently spoke out for the first time about the situation when approached by TMZ. Drawing a comparison to Downey Jr.'s past legal issues, Majors acknowledged the differences in their circumstances. Despite avoiding jail time and being sentenced to a domestic violence intervention program, the likelihood of Disney rehiring Majors remains slim, especially with the Kang arc being scrapped.

Rumors suggest that the Kang storyline may find resolution in the upcoming 'Doomsday' project, potentially leading to a recasting of the character. The comparison between Majors and Downey Jr. has been met with skepticism, given the nature of their convictions.

Marvel could potentially conclude the Kang arc in the second season of 'Loki,' where the character seemingly overcomes Kang's destructive prophecy. The post-credits scene in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,' featuring the demise of the Conqueror variant of Kang, may also play a role in wrapping up the storyline.

It is evident that Majors' time in the MCU has come to an end, and any future appearances of Kang will likely involve a different actor. The community guidelines emphasize the importance of respectful and civil discourse, encouraging open and thoughtful conversations among members.
