It's a rumor that's sending shockwaves through the Marvel fandom: Marvel Studios might be considering bringing Jonathan Majors back to wrap up Kang the Conqueror's story arc. Majors, whose portrayal of the MCU's villainous multiverse mastermind was cut short amid legal controversies, may make a return to finish what he started. This news has fans buzzing, but is it just speculation, or could Marvel actually be making moves to bring him back? Let's dive into the details.

According to a recent report from Screen Geek, Marvel Studios is actively considering reintroducing Jonathan Majors into the MCU to conclude Kang's storyline. Sources suggest that the plan could be to feature Majors in an upcoming project to address the unresolved aspects of Kang's arc and potentially close out his character's storyline. This follows the dramatic events of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, where Majors' portrayal of the villainous Kang was central, but the film's conclusion left many questions unanswered. Despite the controversies surrounding Majors, Marvel seems to be exploring options for his return, possibly to resolve some lingering narrative threads.

Jonathan Majors' portrayal of Kang, which first appeared as "He Who Remains" in Loki (Season 1), was one of the most anticipated elements of Marvel's Phase 5, setting up the Multiverse Saga. However, after the backlash surrounding Majors' personal life, Marvel's decision to put a pause on his character's development left fans questioning what's next for the MCU's overarching multiverse plot.

This new rumor comes as a surprise, considering the public controversies, but it speaks to Marvel's larger challenge of handling a major storyline without its central figure. With Loki Season 2 and the future Avengers films already hinting at the significance of Kang, Marvel may need to decide whether to recast or work with Majors to ensure the storyline isn't left incomplete.

I'm conflicted on this.  ;D  On one hand, Majors' performance as Kang was incredible, and the multiverse storyline needs closure. But with all the legal issues surrounding him, I'm not sure Marvel should risk it. The last thing they need is more bad press.

I think Marvel should just recast him. The Kang character is too important to leave unresolved. If they're serious about Kang being a major villain for Phase 6, they can't afford to let this hold things up.  8)

Honestly, I'm all for Majors coming back if they can work out the drama behind the scenes. His portrayal was top-notch, and the multiverse saga needs a powerful ending. They just need to make sure the timing and PR are right.  ;D
