Keep dreaming, Jonathan.
I generally like Marvel film and TV content, but would prefer to have the studio pause for a while.
Not because of this Jonathan Majors thing, but because I still like Marvel, but have no interest in any of its new content.
I’d rather have nothing and build up a desire for it, than be flooded with content and have no interest.
I need there to be literally nothing new produced that has superheroes in it for, let’s say, about 35 years. And let’s toss the entire horror genre in there too. We need a cleansing moratorium on the two biggest forms of direct-to-dumpster entertainment.
You’ve been missing out then, horror movies have been having a renaissance in the last couple years with new directors, actors and plenty of new well done stories coming out. Even great low budget and some with high studio budgets
Aww yes, the “I saw a bad horror movie so it’s all bad and needs to go away” schtick. Horror as a genre tends to have a larger number of bad movies in it because they are notoriously cheap to produce. But being cheap is part of the reason the genre has so much charm amongst its fans, and also how it sometimes attracts genuine talent.
Horror makes up 90% of the movies I watch. If people can’t find good horror, that’s on them.
Majors is a phenomenal actor, but it’s still too soon and he hasn’t done the work to redeem himself in the public’s eye yet
Aptly put. He was amazing in Loki, but it would be better to keep the character and just give the role to someone else.
Has Idris Elba done anything in the MCU yet?
OOTL, what did he do?
He was abusive to woman. It’s what ended his career. He was sentenced to some anger management thing for a year. Just recently someone leaked him confessing he did abuse the person.
Domestic violence…I read Wikipedia
Defended himself from an abuser

Recasting sounds fine.

Would’ve been the easiest recast to do, since they’ve already established multiversial counterparts don’t always look the same.

Ms Kang would be kind of epic. Like Hela on steroids.

I’m hoping we get an Iron Lad variant for Armor Wars. It would be a neat twist if you had a Kang variant wearing futuristic Stark armor facing off against a Stark variant that became Doom. They’re obviously building towards a Young Avengers movie, anyway.

My pipe dream hope is a recast with John Boyega. He doesn’t look jarringly different from Majors and he’s got the acting chops for the range of personalities that Kang has shown so far. Incidentally, it also would make him and his Star Wars costar Oscar Isaac Marvel multiverse buddies. The main problem would be if he has a chip on his shoulder with Disney for how his role was treated in Star Wars. It would be a waste to drop the character and all of the setup and have it affect the flow and potential of the film series.

Yeah, I think Marvel went into panic mode and tried to save face as much as they could. But, if you ask me, obliterating a multiversal threat that easily was so stupid. I mean, recasting sounds so much more natural than bringing your 60 yrs old Phase 1 icon back like a Tony Stark variant - or something like that.
Just think about it. The Kang army, all of his knowledge and powers, his connection with Reed Richards. So much potential wasted.
And yeah, Boyega would have been great as Kang.
