Jonathan Majors Hints at MCU Possibility as Kang Talk Resurges, but Marvel’s Villain Plan Remains Doom-Focused

Marvel has issued no reinstatement, leaving Kang’s on-screen fate unresolved despite a pivot to Doctor Doom.

Overview

  • In new comments reported by The U.S. Sun, Jonathan Majors said he “cannot say anything” about returning and noted “it’s a Multiverse,” a coy answer that renewed fan speculation.
  • Marvel Studios cut ties with Majors after his December 2023 misdemeanor assault and harassment conviction, and he has since completed a 52-week domestic-violence intervention program.
  • The studio formally shifted its Avengers arc to Doctor Doom, retitling The Kang Dynasty to Avengers: Doomsday and positioning Doom as the central threat.
  • Kevin Feige has said discussions to move from Kang to Doom began before Majors’ legal issues, framing Doom as the more saga-defining antagonist.
  • No actor has been announced for any Kang appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars set for December 17, 2027.
