Good thing marvel has already established that variants can look different. Let’s wait and see, but I think he may be done. Too bad, I enjoyed his screen presence.

I will wait for further details before jumping the gun on any recast news. However, one thing I did wonder as I watched Quantumania (before all this occurred) was if Marvel was going to have Majors play every Kang variant. Of course, I liked his performance as Kang but…

The Magazine Dreams actor was involved in a heated dispute with a 30-year-old woman, who is his alleged girlfriend. The spokesperson for the police told the media about the incident,
“The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident. The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition.”
According to Deadline, Majors’ attorney also released a series of text messages to defend the actor. The woman who accused the actor in March took all the blame for the fight between them on herself. She wrote in the now-released messages,
“Please let me know you’re okay when you get this. They assured me that you won’t be charged. They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight. I’m so angry that they did. And I’m sorry you’re in this position. Will make sure nothing happens about this. I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone. I only just got out of the hospital. Just call me when you’re out. I love you.”
Jonathan Majors’ attorneys also released a statement stating,
“Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows, we are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.”
The film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania starring Jonathan Majors, Paul Rudd, Kathryn Newton, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Bill Murray, and Katy M. O’Brian will be released on Disney+Hotstar on April 18, 2023.
