A new insider report reveals the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s intention to keep Kang the Conqueror amid replacement talks, though MCU fans shouldn’t expect news about who will succeed Jonathan Majors as the supervillain anytime soon.Per Deadline’s Justin Kroll (via X), Marvel Studios will not drop the Kang character from the MCU despite speculation the cinematic universe has been considering a new big bad to replace him. However, Kroll insisted Marvel will take their time with decision-making regarding the Kang recasting as they decide on serious contenders to replace Majors, who starred as the character and his variants in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki. “See a lot ‘who will play Kang next’ and ‘here is a top contender for Kang’ comments this week, and all I’ll say is this, don’t expect that news anytime soon. There will be plenty of Marvel breaks in coming weeks on various fronts but don’t hold your breath on that one,” Kroll said.After Majors was axed from Marvel following his conviction on assault and harassment charges regarding a domestic incident last March, several names were tapped to play Kang, should Marvel opt to retain the live-action version of the comic book character. Stars such as John Boyega and John David Washington have been mentioned, though the former ruled out any possibility of replacing Majors. Domingo was the latest name attached to the Kang recasting search, with some backing him as the best potential candidate, including She-Hulk: Attorney at Law star Ginger Gonzaga. Domingo has since responded to the speculation, saying he’s heard talk about him being named a potential replacement, though he hasn’t been contacted about the opportunity.
