Marvel Considers Recasting Jonathan Majors


Back in March actor Jonathan Majors was arrested on domestic violence charges in New York [click here if you missed that]. 

Now facing up to a year in prison, Marvel is considering recasting Majors or cutting his roles altogether...

From People
Marvel execs may recast embattled star Jonathan Majors in upcoming projects or pivot away from featuring his character altogether, according to a new report in Variety.
Majors, who played Kang the Conqueror in 2023’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and is featured in the current season of the Disney+ series Loki, was set to be featured in various other upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe titles, including a fifth Avengers movie.
But the studio has grown increasingly nervous as the actor, 34, who was arrested in March on misdemeanor domestic violence charges, heads to trial this month, the outlet quotes sources as saying.
Majors could be sentenced up to a year in jail if he’s found guilty at a criminal trial.
According to Variety, Marvel execs, including studio chief Kevin Feige, recently gathered in Palm Springs for an annual retreat where “the most pressing issue” was what to do about Majors.
Per the outlet, one plan floated would have the MCU pivot to focusing on a different antagonist such as Dr. Doom. Recasting Majors altogether is also an option, Variety claimed.

Ok not condoning but Ezra Miller could go ahead and assault multiply women, break into homes and threaten folks. Groom and take out of the country minors and get his movie released but this Ninja here fought with his chick and gets the whole shebang! Carry on then

Before the yt girl thing he was let go by his agent because of the “brutal treatment” of subordinates. Bruh seems to have an attitude problem.
