The fate of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been called into question, following the conviction of Jonathan Majors<\/strong><\/a> on two counts of domestic assault and harassment. In the wake of the verdict, which stemmed from an incident in March involving Majors and his-then girlfriend \u200b\u200bGrace Jabbari, Marvel Studios has confirmed that they will not proceed with any future film or television projects involving the actor. <\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Marvel has not yet issued a formal statement regarding Majors\u2019 guilty verdict or its role in his future at the studio. In any case, the company\u2019s confirmation of his firing puts a halt in plans for one of Marvel\u2019s key villains, with Majors\u2019 portrayal of Kang the Conqueror being properly introduced in 2023\u2019s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

Amid news of Majors\u2019 arrest and trial, Marvel remained largely silent as to Majors\u2019 upcoming roles in the MCU, though he was slated to appear as Kang in 2025\u2019s Avengers: The Kang Dynasty<\/a>, <\/em>as well as in the television series Loki.<\/em> It was reported in November that Marvel had begun plans<\/a> to recast Majors, reshoot scenes, and tinker with the overall timeline of the MCU, especially given Kang\u2019s key role as the central villain superseding Thanos. <\/p>\n

Naturally, given their ardent passion, speculation has long run rampant among MCU fans as to who should replace Majors if the role of Kang was to be recast. In between mentions of Denzel Washington and John Boyega, the buzziest pick for Majors\u2019 potential replacement is Will Smith, who some have suggested could take on the character following Majors\u2019 exit. <\/p>\n
