An unexpected choice to replace Kang as the MCU’s big bad makes complete canonical sense

As Jonathan Majors relationship with Marvel hangs in the balance, MCU fans discover an oddly sensible choice for Kang The Conqueror.

As more people come forward with abuse allegations against Jonathan Majors, some MCU fans have stumbled on a surprisingly suitable alternative.

As the parting of Majors and Marvel Studios becomes increasingly inevitable, onlookers took to the r/MarvelStudios subreddit to suggest possible replacements for the actor. The task is not for the faint of heart as Majors plays Kang The Conqueror, on whose shoulders Phase 5 rests. However, one fan presented a sensible choice.

OP is referring to none other than Sylvie Laufeydottir (Sophia Di Martino), an Asgardian Princess and Loki variant. Initially, the proposal encountered mild opposition.

Another Redditor expounded on why they thought this was an ill-advised choice and proposed that it made more sense for Marvel to replace Kang with Doctor Doom.

Yet another fan thought it was a long shot but a great idea for another series.

In another fan’s view, the most logical replacement for Kang is a variant of himself. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem, as Majors plays all Kang variants.

However, OP’s idea resonated deeply with other Redditors.

Another faction of Marvel fans nominated an acting legend to replace Majors should Marvel cut ties with him.

Majors received a left-handed compliment for his acting talent.

Marvel Studios remains tightlipped about the future of its relationship with the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star. Indeed, the star enjoys the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. However, with his history of self-disclosed acting out and family violence combined with the ever-growing claims of intimate partner violence coming to light, a problematic pattern of behavior is emerging. In the meantime, his career in mainstream cinema continues to hang precariously in the balance.
