Phase 5 of the MCU is really not under a good star. First, the film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania caused a new negative record, a little later one of the most important actors for the new phase of the Marvel film hit the headlines. Jonathan Majorswho embodies the new villain Kang, was arrested last month and faces serious allegations. That could be very soon serious consequences have – both personal and for the MCU as a whole.
Is Majors flying out of the MCU?
Recently got in touch insider Jeff Sneider in the latest edition of the podcast “The Hot Mic” to speak up to report on some of the hottest topics in Hollywood. It also came the current controversy surrounding Jonathan Majors to the language for which it may be no longer a future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe could give. At least that’s what the insider’s statements suggest.
“I’ve heard that Marvel hasn’t made a decision on Jonathan Majors yet. However, they have already met with his agent to discuss potential options on how to proceed.”
At first glance, that sounds right neutral and harmless. However, it can be read between the lines that those responsible at Marvel are quite concerned with the idea of whether and how it is could go on without Jonathan Majors in the MCU.
After all, he should be built up as the new villain Kang and used in several films of the next MCU phases. One of them is even called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Therefore, Marvel should make this decision anything but easy meet.
No mercy for missteps
On the other hand, Disney and Marvel can’t afford to put one actor in the spotlightr is in the headlines due to violent crime.
So far, an indictment is pending, but Jonathan Majors reputation is definitely damaged. In addition, Disney has already proven that it is not exactly squeamish about actors when it comes to gross misconduct. Among other things, Gina Carano had to take her hat off due to controversial statements. She appeared as Cara Dune in the Star Wars: The Mandalorian series.
