In a recent development within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Jonathan Majors, known for playing the villain Kang, has been severed from Marvel projects following a guilty verdict on charges of assault and harassment. The actor faced legal issues stemming from an incident on March 25, where he was arrested and subsequently found guilty on one count of assault and one count of harassment. Marvel's decision, while not unexpected, throws future plans into question, especially regarding the slated "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty" where Majors was to play a pivotal role. It's uncertain whether the character will be recast or if Marvel will shift focus to another villain such as Doctor Doom. The only MCU film scheduled for release in the near future is "Deadpool 3" with "Captain America: Brave New World" lined up for 2025, giving Marvel some time to reevaluate casting and storyline adjustments.

How will Marvel address the character of Kang following Jonathan Majors' departure?

Marvel has not yet announced whether Kang will be recast or if the character will be written out of future MCU storylines. As the studio reassesses its plans, a pivot to another villain like Doctor Doom has been suggested by various reports, but no official replacement or narrative shift has been confirmed at this time.
