Jonathan Majors’ Trial Adds To Marvel Woes
Jonathan Majors was the only bright spark in Marvel’sAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniawhich received a lukewarm response at the box office. Majors’ chilling performance as the supervillain Kang ensured that the franchise and the film could save face amidst harsh criticisms. In addition, his character arc was touted to be the integral link to future MCU projects including being the titular star of a fifthAvengersfilm in 2026.
The unexpected arrest of theCreed 3star though, has now thrown a spanner into the works for Marvel. Facing serious charges of assault and violence, Majors is now in the midst of a trial that has put his career in the franchise in jeopardy. WhileKevin Feigeand Marvel have not officially commented on the future of the actor in the MCU, an inside source toldVariety Magazinethat the franchise was facing a dilemma regarding the actor.
“Marvel is truly f****d with the whole Kang angle. And they haven’t had an opportunity to rewrite until very recently [because of the WGA strike]. But I don’t see a path to how they move forward with him.”
With recent films likeThe Marvelshaving the worst opening by any Marvel film at the box office, Kevin Feige and the team have a long and challenging road ahead in their effort to resurrect the franchise, especially after the Jonathan Majors fiasco.
