Colman Domingo is known for his performances in Fear of the Walking Dead, Zola, and Euphoria. The actor’s name has been coming up to replace Jonathan Majors’s MCU character, Kang the Conqueror. There has been no official announcement from the studio’s side, but the actor has shared his elaborate take on the speculations. Scroll below to know.
Majors debuted his MCU feature as the time-traveling villain in last year’s Ant-Man 3. The film was released in February, and in March, he was arrested for assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend. He was found guilty during the trial and was immediately dropped by Disney from the part. Soon, fans started namedropping who they thought would be suitable for the role. For example, the fans suggested John David Washington and Will Smith‘s names, and industry scoopers claimed that Colman was being eyed by Marvel to replace Majors.
Colman Domingo recently sat for an interview with Vanity Fair, where he spoke about the Kang rumors, which spread like wildfire. He revealed that he was literally on his couch when these rumors started happening. He said, “You know, listen. My team has had conversations with Marvel about some aspect of the MCU for years. Do I know this to be true or not? I actually don’t know.”
The Euphoria star added, “I feel like my team doesn’t bring me something unless it’s real. So I don’t know. I could be in conversation, but I’m not sure. I would welcome a conversation around it.” Colman Domingo wants to respect Jonathan Majors’ legacy as Kang the Conqueror in the MCU as he explained, “I feel like I just have to be in my own lane, whatever that is. There’s hearsay, there’s conversations, but I’m not even sure because I feel like nothing comes to me until something’s real. But I’d be down with it.”
Netizens feel, Domingo has the potential to be a good Kang as one person wrote on X, “Great actor with range to play multiple characters hope marvel doesn’t throw away Kang after setting him up.”
One wrote, “Yes please! A great choice! Please do not abandon this storyline!”
A user explained, “I’m really surprised he wasn’t the first one cast as Kang like he has the range to do it like he might even have more of an acting range then Majors does.”
Another exclaimed, “Perfect casting.”
“Dude could definitely give it a unique take and feel,” said another.
Followed by one saying, “He would be magnificent as Kang.”
One Jonathan Majors fan wrote, “They already have a kang though.”
Marvel is reportedly addressing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty as Avengers 5 now. Do you think Colman Domingo is the best choice to replace Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror?
