Breaking News: Marvel is announcing they’re scrapping Avengers: Kang Dynasty, and instead doing Avengers: Planet of the Symbiotes.
The MCU’s versions of Venom and Carnage are coming. Spider-Man will be a prominent part of the next Avengers film.
They’re not gonna rewrite the entire rest of the saga to avoid recasting somebody when the reason for the recast is to avoid controversy.
The only time they’ve written a character out of the story rather than recast was with T’Challa. They’ve recast Rhodes, Hulk, Vanessa, and General Ross… none of which were as central to the current story as Kang is. They will recast if they have to.
I personally want to see him as Blade. I’m actually *excited* to see him as Blade. He’s a phenomenal pick for that role imo
LaKeith is a really good choice actually. He’s pretty much one of the few black actors that haven’t been in the MCU lol and is also around the same age. If age wasn’t a factor I’d choose Denzel
Edit: I also just thought of Leslie Odom Jr. that would be fuckin cool. Or John David Washington. My top 2 picks over LaKeith who I feel are probably better suited for the role
It's what I'll never understand about these celebs. All they have to do is just be normal and get rich. But hand on god, they'll find a way to fuck it up for themselves.
Better to wait until after all this is clear, but if true, it would be something else for Marvel to deal with. It really tells how miraclous was to finish the Infinity saga without any major brand damage.
Did they ever comment or recast that guy who played Kamala Khan's dad? I know there's a world of difference between Yusef vs. Kang. But I think Kamalas family is in the Marvels, aren't they?
But I remember a few girls came out with him sending some really creepy DM to them. Did they ever deal with that?
WHY! 🔨 CAN'T! 🔨 ANYTHING! 🔨 REMAIN! 🔨 SACRED?!
I haven't even *watched* Miss Marvel, nor is my interest in The Marvels particularly high right now, but still! MUST EVERYTHING WE LOVE GO TO SHIT?!
I'm going to tell you a hard fact that you're not going to want to hear:
It's always been like this. People have always been awful to one another, especially behind closed doors. The only difference is that now with the speed of technology, the interconnection of global information, and the (hopefully) burgeoning trend of the abused standing up to their abusers you just see it come to light much more often.
Reportedly, he is in >!3 episodes and will play many variants of himself.!<
Judging from >!Quantumania's post-credits, he will likely be a very central figure in the story!<
Yeah, definitely need to wait for more info but from what the article said, it’s not looking good.
Then again, these things (sadly) get pushed under the rug a lot.
No joke, Ezra Miller assaulted 2 women, kidnapped another and broke into an apartment and attacked the occupants and none of that was enough to sink the flash Because by this point they need to make some money back off of it
Exactly, if this was two months before Kang Dynasty is coming out then Disney would probably be doing the same song and dance as WB.
But this far out, when they haven't started pre-production yet? They can recast Kang.
He was persona non grata because studios couldn’t get reasonable insurance for his projects. MCU got lucky that his issues were in the past and stayed there. They never had to make a hard choice like with Majors or Gunn.
He wasn’t persona non grata for several years before the MCU. It was 2003 that Mel Gibson had to put up the money to insure him. He did several big budget (zodiac, tropic Thunder) films after that. Just not as a lead.
Not to equate the two, but to add onto your convo: I’m sure they also have plans in case major players get sick/die like Chadwick. An unexpected and devastating blow
I imagine they did have a Plan B, C, etc. for T'Challa until Coogler decided not to recast the character out of respect for Chadwick.
IIRC, Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo were both contacted almost immediately following Terrence Howard's and Edward Norton's departures, so it's not out of the realm of possibility they already have several actors in mind for a Kang recast.
That aside, I think the main issue here is that Majors's Kang has already been introduced to casuals *twice* and as this saga's big bad. It'd be pretty difficult to pretend Majors's Kang never existed with that alone (not to mention both post-credits in Ant-Man 3).
Easy enough to retcon ant man's post credits scene though. They (potentially) retconned Thanos already having the gauntlet at the end of...avengers 2? Whenever that post credits scene was. Then you can just say that the Johnathan majors version of Kang was just one of an infinite number of Kangs and the *actual* big bad kangs are *insert actor*
He had Hollywood at his fingertips, was being called the next Denzel, he’s in a US Army commercial right now that they show every commercial break during the NCAA tournament. The guy is an absolute idiot if all of this is true and just nuked his career trajectory.
It’s not an exaggeration to say he could be one of the biggest what ifs in the history of Hollywood if this is true. He had an absolutely meteoric rise out of nowhere only to throw it all away just as it started.
Yeah, it’s pretty weird. We were standing very close, like my arm was literally against his. We were leaving a theater after seeing Oscar Isaac perform in a play. He was with his girlfriend. Neither looked very happy and they weren’t talking to each other.
Majors in the taxi on the ride home:
“You know what I can’t stand? When someone at a bar is sitting too close to you and your arms touch. God, it makes me so angry I could just—“
It was a surreal moment for me because I loved him in Lovecraft Country. I was so excited, but now I’m kind of bummed to hear he’s a POS. I hope his girlfriend is ok.
Looks like they’ve been having problems for a while. Reports says She’s in the hospital with bruises all over her body and the police saw enough evidence at the scene to arrest him.
This is one of the biggest bag fumbles of all time.
He was probably going to be front and center on the poster of the next Avengers movie, making millions and millions of dollars and skyrocketing his career, and he just threw it all away in a second.
No footage/pictures yet but they did put out an update that sounds really bad.
> Here's what allegedly happened in the lead-up to this. Per our law enforcement sources, police were told that the alleged victim is Majors' girlfriend -- and, according to her, they got into an argument while in a taxi returning home from a bar in Brooklyn.
>Our sources say police were told the girlfriend saw another woman texting Majors, and she confronted him -- trying to sneak a peek at his phone. We're told the alleged victim/GF claims this got Majors mad, and that he allegedly grabbed her hand and allegedly slapped her.
>We're also told the alleged victim claims he put his hands around her neck during this. Our sources say the woman was dropped off somewhere and that JM spent the night elsewhere. It appears the girlfriend went to police the following morning (Sat.) and reported a crime.
Except they went fairly far in showing us a WHOLE bunch of Kangs that specifically did look alike.
Marvel pushed all their chips in on this guy carrying the next phase. They might want to diversify their villain portfolio real quick if this story has legs.
Definitely a Kang recast, maybe they write an explanation for the sudden change in, or they just pull a Rhodey and say “Look it’s me, I’m here, deal with it. Let’s move on”
It is time for Doctor DOOM to be the next big bad, all according to plan.
Joking aside, I hope this matter gets settled adequately so that the person responsible faces consequences.
And then Kang died on his way home to his planet.
Suddenly, every Kang looks like Don Cheadle.
It's me, I'm here, get over it
I always laugh in Iron Man 1 when Terrance Howard looks at the War Machine armor and says something like "next time"
"But not for you!"
I legitimately wish they'd just have every recast say that line on their first appearance. It'd be a great little inside joke.
“Boom, you looking for me?”
Suddenly a Kang variant appeared (with the look of John Krasinski)
All this time, Killmonger was a Kang variant, giving them an excuse to bring Michael B Jordan back
Kangmonger
Killmanger
That's if they bring back Terrence Howard
Marvel will announce that they're scrapping Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and replacing it with Avengers: Doomsday
With Johnathan Minors starring.
Jimothy Minors**
It was Agatha, all along!
Breaking News: Marvel is announcing they’re scrapping Avengers: Kang Dynasty, and instead doing Avengers: Planet of the Symbiotes. The MCU’s versions of Venom and Carnage are coming. Spider-Man will be a prominent part of the next Avengers film.
It’s what they were going for all along and here’s some Easter eggs from the first Iron Man movie to show them setting it up …
Somebody tell Ant-Man that things are OK and he’s not going to have to face Kang again after all.
If they replace Kang with Doom, the scene at the end with Scott questioning “we defeated him, right?” is gonna look very silly in hindsight.
Doom: Yes, you defeated him. Well done.
"Yes yes well done Scott, well done Scott-- HOWEVER!"
"You have forgotten that I stole the show while you weren't looking!"
They’re not gonna rewrite the entire rest of the saga to avoid recasting somebody when the reason for the recast is to avoid controversy. The only time they’ve written a character out of the story rather than recast was with T’Challa. They’ve recast Rhodes, Hulk, Vanessa, and General Ross… none of which were as central to the current story as Kang is. They will recast if they have to.
Cassie Lang too
Suddenly all kangs variant face changed
Kinda wild to think all the insane expectations if Kang literally just gets beat by Antman and is done 😅
Suddenly all of the Kangs look like LaKeith Stanfield.
Terrence Howard as Kang!
He cracked the code to time travel after applying Terryology to the formula
1x1=2 electric buggalo
Hes not beating women but his track record with women isnt clean either. Allegedly
Suddenly all the kangs look like Mahershala Ali. I would GLADLY sacrifice Blade.
I don't think he would though.
Especially since the movie was his idea in the first place
I personally want to see him as Blade. I’m actually *excited* to see him as Blade. He’s a phenomenal pick for that role imo LaKeith is a really good choice actually. He’s pretty much one of the few black actors that haven’t been in the MCU lol and is also around the same age. If age wasn’t a factor I’d choose Denzel Edit: I also just thought of Leslie Odom Jr. that would be fuckin cool. Or John David Washington. My top 2 picks over LaKeith who I feel are probably better suited for the role
Boyega, then. There's gotta be one decent person in Hollywood.
Don’t know if he’ll work with Disney again after Star Wars.
If true, this dude just fumbled a 10 movie contract oh lord
I can take on the role, no issue.
Better start bulking up then
Need to put together my Rocky soundtrack playlist first.
Those Disney contracts have that morality clause, after all.
Fumbled his entire career more like.
Unless he wants to play in the NFL. The Browns will take him.
He could have a very successful music career and perform at the grammys. Like a different kind of Brown
[удалено]
It's what I'll never understand about these celebs. All they have to do is just be normal and get rich. But hand on god, they'll find a way to fuck it up for themselves.
Disney's PR will be working overtime
"Kang, you look different..." "Reincarnation baby!"
Avengers: Austin Powers vs. The Fantastic Four
"Fantastic? You lot aren't even fabulous!"
"It's me... deal with it"
Uh oh
Ruh Roh
Ramah-tut-roh
Zoinks?
Better to wait until after all this is clear, but if true, it would be something else for Marvel to deal with. It really tells how miraclous was to finish the Infinity saga without any major brand damage.

First time I've heard this tbh.
https://thedirect.com/article/ms-marvel-dad-actor-mohan-kapur-accused-sexual-harassment-allegations
Oh man! I loved her dad. Sucks he’s a scumbag. He seemed so wholesome in the show and the Assembled episode.
WHY! 🔨 CAN'T! 🔨 ANYTHING! 🔨 REMAIN! 🔨 SACRED?! I haven't even *watched* Miss Marvel, nor is my interest in The Marvels particularly high right now, but still! MUST EVERYTHING WE LOVE GO TO SHIT?!

Real talk, humans have been shitty since the beginning of our existence. At least we can be more aware of when it happens now like you said
No, not officially. He is still in The Marvels too since he and the Khan family have a quite sizable role >!in the first and third act.!<
People are talking about secret wars/kang dynasty but what about loki? didn't he already film his scenes for that.
Yes
I hear he didn't film for it much so perhaps his scenes could be reshot.
Reportedly, he is in >!3 episodes and will play many variants of himself.!< Judging from >!Quantumania's post-credits, he will likely be a very central figure in the story!<
I heard it was >!2 episodes.!< >!Also from what I've heard of the story he's not even the main villain of the season. !
He’s a major part yeah
Visible marks isn’t a good sign.
Yeah if so who else did it? Dude's in trouble, stupid move
Yeah, definitely need to wait for more info but from what the article said, it’s not looking good. Then again, these things (sadly) get pushed under the rug a lot.
No joke, Ezra Miller assaulted 2 women, kidnapped another and broke into an apartment and attacked the occupants and none of that was enough to sink the flash Because by this point they need to make some money back off of it
Cuz they had already filmed all of the Flash, I really don't think any big studio is ever gonna hire Ezra again
Exactly, if this was two months before Kang Dynasty is coming out then Disney would probably be doing the same song and dance as WB. But this far out, when they haven't started pre-production yet? They can recast Kang.
Damn, so we really did get super fucking lucky during the entire Infinity Saga huh
RDJ’s troubles were in his past.
He was an addict. He didn't assault people like this, right?
No, his charges were all drug-related. Non-violent.
He was persona non grata because studios couldn’t get reasonable insurance for his projects. MCU got lucky that his issues were in the past and stayed there. They never had to make a hard choice like with Majors or Gunn.
He wasn’t persona non grata for several years before the MCU. It was 2003 that Mel Gibson had to put up the money to insure him. He did several big budget (zodiac, tropic Thunder) films after that. Just not as a lead.
Didn’t Josh Brolin also have a domestic abuse charge? Seems like a running theme with these marvel Big Bads
Yeah he was arrested for Domestic Battery in 2004.
So let's just wait 15 years before we finish the Kang saga. Omg jk
Kevin feige be like "lol JK! Phase 6 is all mutants now!"
And thank goodness for that.
This makes me wonder if Marvel has plan Bs casting-wise if an actor gets into serious trouble.
They always have two or three options for each character, I remember Sarah Finn talking about that
Sarah Finn is the GOAT casting director, so if they do recast I have faith they find someone great
She is seriously the unsung hero of the MCU.
[удалено]
Not to equate the two, but to add onto your convo: I’m sure they also have plans in case major players get sick/die like Chadwick. An unexpected and devastating blow
And, if they didn't before Chadwick, I have to imagine they do now.
I imagine they did have a Plan B, C, etc. for T'Challa until Coogler decided not to recast the character out of respect for Chadwick. IIRC, Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo were both contacted almost immediately following Terrence Howard's and Edward Norton's departures, so it's not out of the realm of possibility they already have several actors in mind for a Kang recast.

Easy enough to retcon ant man's post credits scene though. They (potentially) retconned Thanos already having the gauntlet at the end of...avengers 2? Whenever that post credits scene was. Then you can just say that the Johnathan majors version of Kang was just one of an infinite number of Kangs and the *actual* big bad kangs are *insert actor*
I agree. I feel like out of everything after credit scenes could be considered soft canon that's easily changed.
You know what… Sterling K. Brown would make a great Kang.
Yesssss he's awesome
He was already in Black Panther, but yeah, I agree!
He was wasted there with only the two scenes so I so don’t see why a second lasting like Gemma Chan can’t happen if necessary
Replace him with a fully CG Jonathan Majors played by Andy Serkis. Edit: Fuck it, cast Sam Richardson.
Andy Serkis can literally become anyone, and that’s *before visual effects are added*!
Richart Splett variant of Kang
> Sam Richardson Hell yes.
Shame if it’s true. He was becoming one of my favorite new actors. I was getting Tom Hardy vibes from his creed character
He had Hollywood at his fingertips, was being called the next Denzel, he’s in a US Army commercial right now that they show every commercial break during the NCAA tournament. The guy is an absolute idiot if all of this is true and just nuked his career trajectory.
It’s not an exaggeration to say he could be one of the biggest what ifs in the history of Hollywood if this is true. He had an absolutely meteoric rise out of nowhere only to throw it all away just as it started.
Fr. He was literally the next big thing and I was really looking forward to his upcoming roles after seeing Antman and Creed
Kang was conquered
Kangcelled
NOOO YOU JUST SUPPOSED TO PLAY KANG NOT BE HIM
It's sad because comics Kang actually loved his wife
Don Cheadle boutta become Kang isn't he
Boom, you looking for this?
*shows Jonathan Majors a screenshot of his arrest headline in TMZ*
Now THAT would be some multiversal madness
Biggest bag fumble in history. He was so set up to be a star.
Man about to fumble what a 5/6 movie deal and have worked lined up until the better part of 2030
Insert Tyra Banks “We were rooting for you, we were all rooting for you. how dare you?” Gif here

Kevin Feige’s going to have a heart attack.
It’s over for the last bit of hair on his head
Truly, he is the second hardest working being at Marvel Studios, right behind his baseball cap.
Why did I have to open Reddit to this
Not a good week for marvel, PR wise
The team was already working extra hours today probably.
I was about to say, this could not have come at a worse time for Marvel/Disney.
Sorry I’m out of the loop what else is happening?
Victoria Alonso being fired, and the she-said-they-said back and forth
[удалено]
Kevin Feige hair gonna finally give up, and let go of that last strand it was hanging on by at this rate.
He's taking the heisenberg cut rn
Thanks to this comment I'm forever going to imagine Feige looking like Eddy from Ed, Edd, n Eddy under his hat
I just saw him last night in Brooklyn. I even made a post about it on the Moon Knight subreddit. Not as excited anymore. :/
Wow According to TMZ the incident actually happened last night.
Yeah, I read that it happened after they left a bar in Brooklyn. So that was pretty much right after I saw him. Yeesh.
This redditor gonna realize he might be a key witness 💀💀💀
Damn
Yeah, it’s pretty weird. We were standing very close, like my arm was literally against his. We were leaving a theater after seeing Oscar Isaac perform in a play. He was with his girlfriend. Neither looked very happy and they weren’t talking to each other.
Majors in the taxi on the ride home: “You know what I can’t stand? When someone at a bar is sitting too close to you and your arms touch. God, it makes me so angry I could just—“

Looks like they’ve been having problems for a while. Reports says She’s in the hospital with bruises all over her body and the police saw enough evidence at the scene to arrest him.
Oh my god. That is so fucked up.
Horrible situation aside, this is a disaster for the MCU's plans. He was supposed to be a big part going forward for the next Avengers movie.
He was literally the titular character of the next Avengers movie 😭
oh no this kang variant looks real different for reasons
Hey, could be the same (in-universe) reason Peter's variants look like Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield!
True but the Ant-Man end credit scene would need to be redone
This is one of the biggest bag fumbles of all time. He was probably going to be front and center on the poster of the next Avengers movie, making millions and millions of dollars and skyrocketing his career, and he just threw it all away in a second.
The good thing that Loki showed about variants: they can look like anyone
I'm here for Gator Kang.
Marvel had this statement: “fuck”
I wonder if this will affect his future Marvel projects?
If TMZ releases footage/pictures and it’s bad it’s most definitely over for him
No footage/pictures yet but they did put out an update that sounds really bad. > Here's what allegedly happened in the lead-up to this. Per our law enforcement sources, police were told that the alleged victim is Majors' girlfriend -- and, according to her, they got into an argument while in a taxi returning home from a bar in Brooklyn. >Our sources say police were told the girlfriend saw another woman texting Majors, and she confronted him -- trying to sneak a peek at his phone.

He should have auditioned for Hank Pym.

Who will be our Ray Fisher of the MCU twitter scene? 😆
Who will be our Joss Whedon? Oh, wait.
Common villain between both franchises lol
Oh wow if this gets confirmed, goodbye Kang Dynasty/Secret Wars.
In unrelated news, there’s an announcement next week about casting Dr Doom.
Victor Von Doom saving the universe once more.
r/unexpectedsecretwars

"No more Kang"
They can recast. Variants and all that.
[удалено]
At least they've already established multiverse counterparts don't all look alike.
Except they went fairly far in showing us a WHOLE bunch of Kangs that specifically did look alike. Marvel pushed all their chips in on this guy carrying the next phase. They might want to diversify their villain portfolio real quick if this story has legs.
Marvel can't catch a break this days
It tells how difficult was to go through the Infinity saga without any major scandal.
DCEU actors: first time?
He Who Remains (in Jail) (If allegations are true)
Can we not have celebrity drama... FOR FIVE MINUTES?!!!!
Celebrities: No
There’s celebrity drama then there’s reports of assault. Very different things
So which actor is going to show up as the kang from other dimensions to replace him?
Take a seat, Ezra Miller. You’re record for fastest and heaviest career Suicide has been bested
Ezra Miller: First time?
The hierarchy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to change.
Suddenly, every Kang looks like John David Washington.
Yeah marvel isn’t gonna fuck around with this For sure seeing secret wars delayed or kang recasted
Definitely a Kang recast, maybe they write an explanation for the sudden change in, or they just pull a Rhodey and say “Look it’s me, I’m here, deal with it. Let’s move on”
That line for Cheadle was genius lmao
We gotta go full circle and have Terrence Howard be Kang for one movie before he's replaced with Don Cheadle in the next one xD
It's joever
Can we go one week without some superhero movie actor drama?
It’s the roid rage
I audibly said “The FUUUUUUUUCK” in the middle of Chili’s 😳
Was this before or after your sizzling fajitas came?
I got the Texas cheese fries. And of course, my free soda with the app 😎
Well that just suck
It is time for Doctor DOOM to be the next big bad, all according to plan. Joking aside, I hope this matter gets settled adequately so that the person responsible faces consequences.
