Jonathan Majors' Fate: Marvel Drops Actor After Assault Verdict
Marvel has dropped actor Jonathan Majors from their upcoming projects, including the film previously titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, following his guilty verdict for assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend. The project is now referred to as Avengers 5, indicating that Marvel is scrapping the character of Kang entirely. This decision may impact the course of Phase 5 and Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The studio has previously recast characters, but it seems they are not considering a recasting for Kang. Loki creator Michael Waldron has been brought on to rewrite the script, and the filming and release dates for Avengers 5 are likely to be affected.
