Jonathan Majors is open to returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his stint as Kang the Conqueror.
He most recently played the role of Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) and was reportedly set to reprise the character in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, a concept which was scrapped.
Majors was dropped from the project after he was convicted of two misdemeanour counts of reckless assault and harassment.
Following the conviction, Marvel reevaluated its direction and decided to focus the following films on Doctor Doom, who will be portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. Avengers: The Kang Dynasty was renamed to Avengers: Doomsday, and is set to be released in 2026.
The actor told USA Today: “Yeah, of course I say yes. Disney, Marvel Studios, I love them.
“Tom Hiddleston, loved working with that guy. Loved working with Paul Rudd. Loved working with Gugu Mbatha-Raw. I love the industry so much, and now I’m in the place where I can feel the love from them and actually express my love for them.”
Majors is promoting his new film Magazine Dreams, in which he stars as an amateur bodybuilder struggling to find human connection in an exploration of celebrity and violence.
