Jonathan Majors Calls Out on Kang the Conqueror Replacement
Renowned for his performance of Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jonathan Majors has openly responded to the recent news that Robert Downey Jr. will be playing Doctor Doom, so essentially replacing Kang in the MCU.
Major expresses disappointment.
Majors expressed his opinions on the shift in a TMZ interview. He acknowledged feeling "heartbroken" about Doctor Doom replacing Kang. Majors expressed disappointment at not getting the same degree of understanding and patience that Robert Downey Jr. has been given in assuming the Doctor Doom role, and he revealed his sincere love for the character.
Managing Majors and Downey Jr.
Majors underlined the differences in public and Marvel Studios treatment of him and Robert Downey Jr. Downey Jr. has been welcomed, he said, with "patience, curiosity, and love" and let to be creative with the part. By contrast, Majors feels he didn't get the same degree of encouragement.
Kang's Potential Return
Majors still dreams of maybe returning as Kang the Conqueror in the future, despite the present circumstances. He declared his constant love for the character and made it abundantly evident that he would be willing to reprising the part should Marvel Studios and the fans so want it.
Consequences of the Revolution
The choice to substitute Doctor Doom for Kang has generated discussion among supporters and detractors. While some see the necessity of continuing with a fresh villain, others are let down that Kang's story arc might be cut off suddenly. The change might also point to a change in Marvel Studios' general MCU future direction of focus.
Looking ahead.
It is yet unknown where Kang the Conqueror and Doctor Doom would fit in the MCU. It is yet unknown how this shift will affect the general story or fan reaction. Though Majors' openness to returning points to a readiness to carry on Kang's story, if the chance arises, it remains a question whether Majors would be able to reinterpret the part.
