In a surprising twist, Marvel Studios is reportedly reconsidering bringing Jonathan Majors back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite highly publicized legal troubles.
Full story below…
According to a report from Screen Geek, the star could be making a comeback.
Majors, who played Kang the Conqueror, was initially positioned as the next big villain in the MCU before being dropped after his December 2023 assault conviction.
The actor was found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment; both of which stem from an incident with ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in March 2023.
However, with recent industry shifts, there are claims that the studio head Kevin Feige wants Majors back.
Citing sources close to developments, the report shared:
“The idea is for Majors to appear in a future Marvel project to wrap up some loose ends with Kang and close the character’s story.”
2025 may be a resurgence year for the actor as he will be appearing in the new film ‘Magazine Dreams’ which was initially set to be released in 2023 but experienced a distribution shift amidst Majors’ legal situation.
Now fans will have to wait in anticipation to see if the movie star will also get to fulfill the role of Kang the Conqueror.
They shouldn’t have ever fired him.
And they should, He is a good actor, and he gets the job done. He is not the only person that is involved with a foolish partner..Give that man his money
I mean Robert Downey jr at the time of making the first Iron Man, he was not in a place where he is right now. So yeah, bring him back to at least end his storyline.
