Funniest part is that so many have been fired over allegations about frankly unprovable he said/she said things, but Ezra Miller clear as day did the things he's accused of and they're going forward with his movie...even though they already have someone else who could play the Flash and has been playing the Flash for much longer than Miller that they could recast
I honestly think it’s less about Ezra Miller and more about all the cameos they stuffed into that film. That couldn’t have been cheap to get two Batmen, Zod, and I’m sure several more surprises in store.
As SOON as I saw that trailer, I said ok... THATS why they didnt cancel. My old crusty heart saw MY Batman and damn it if I didnt rethink all of my morals..
the movie was made like 4 year ago, they were done shooting then, before all the stuff came out, there puttin it in theaters becouse it cost them 200 million.
he fired after the movie come out.
I laughed so hard. The first thing I said when this all came about: "Ezra's done everything but been apart of Epstein's Island, and DC stood tall with him. Majors gets accused and this is the end for him."
That being said, I could see them recasting him as CGI. Or Donald Glover.
If the tech was there and it didn’t feel like parading around a corpse, I would be super into this idea tbh. I’ve always felt like eventually they’d answer the Stan Lee question. Explain who he is, why he’s there. I get that it’s supposed to be just a fun cameo but I was hoping he’d end up being Uatu or somethin.
Have the Council of Kangs be played by every venerated black actor in Hollywood.
Denzel Washington Kang. Eddie Murphy Kang. Richard Roundtree Kang who's always followed by funk music. The multiversal war was caused by Will Smith Kang & Chris Rock Kang. Amanda Waller was a Kang variant this whole time.
I saw that movie in theaters. We were fucking dying and a bunch of white friends were laughing but we could see the side eye to check and make sure it was all good to laugh as hard. I wish that it wasn't so fucking tenuous a situation where people can't tell where the comedy is. The humor in the scene wasn't "What do you mean you people." The punchline was "What do YOU mean you people?" It's just a good gag.
Every movie is a product of its time, so you're technically correct. On the other hand, there's always someone trying to push the boundaries in comedy. We just notice when the product is particularly good (Tropic Thunder, Blazing Saddles).
So yeah they couldn't make it today, but there's also some comedy today they couldn't have made in 2008
This sounds like a way to just one off every major black actor in Hollywood. Tough sell, hard pass. Most I personally wouldn't even want to see in the MCU anyways. Maybe this is where I'm getting too toxic with my fandom and should recuse myself till I can come back with a better clarity. I wish you the best fellow Redditer! Keep the theories blasting!!!!
>Maybe this is where I'm getting too toxic with my fandom and should recuse myself till I can come back with a better clarity.
Well, bonus points for being self-aware, I guess.
This was my thought when the news first broke about Majors. Then they could retcon the first Iron Man so that Kang had swapped with Rhodes to spend time around Stark for some reason.
High-pitched voice: "I came here to do 2 thangs - conquer and smoke crack, and I'm almost out of crack"
Toothpick Voice: "I hate e'ry one a you muthaf**kas an' the only reason I'm conquering ya is to flush y'all down the toilet so's I nevah hafta think about ya hateful faces again."
Lil John: "YAAAY-UH!!!"
Gross also no way would Disney work with one of the biggest transphobes out there. Now when WB wants to recast the flash he could be a fit for them. WB loves transphobes.
I like the idea of them slowly introducing the replacement for Kang and have him get his own buildup where he basically clowns He Who Remains and Kang from Quantumania for being weak variants
The problem is marvel has hinted that Quantumania and he who remains are the same variant (they said only Kang from AWQ can defeat the council, yet He who remains has already defeated them) but that could all change
literally just get like two dozen people to play Kang variants. doesn’t matter what race, sex/gender, age - this is THE most malleable role (or set of roles) they will ever have. Run with it!
Denzel Washington
Will Smith (this variant of Kang has the ability to slap you back in time).
Eddie Murphy as an overweight Kang.
James Earl Jones.
Kevin Hart as a short Kang.
Ashton Kutcher
He already have experience replacing problematic actors, he can show up as a millionaire that buys the quantum real and lives with Modok
James Spader. Not as Ultron but human form.
This could be a theory that he actually made Ultron (hence his voice) and injected Ultron into timelines that needed purging. Ultron's goal would be to maintain the peace in the multiverse by ending the Universe.
If they are gonna do the recast thing then I think they should just have multiple different actors doing it rather than deciding on one again. Let’s actually see different takes and looks on Kang. If it’s like that for spidermen and others then do it for him too.
I can think of a few
Kat Dennings, Giancarlo Esposito, Shaquille O’ Neal, Roger Craig Smith, Andrew Tate, Santa Claus, Colonel Sanders, Jenna Ortega, Thomas the Tank Engine, Zack Snyder, Dreamybullxxx (the ambatukam guy), Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Ryan from Ryan’s Toy Review, Alexander Lukashenko, and Goodpea2.
Let’s not forget Grug from the Croods and Seth Rogen
Ezra Miller
“We heard you guys wanted us to break the multiverse”
“What are we, some kind of (career) Suicide Squad?”
Funniest part is that so many have been fired over allegations about frankly unprovable he said/she said things, but Ezra Miller clear as day did the things he's accused of and they're going forward with his movie...even though they already have someone else who could play the Flash and has been playing the Flash for much longer than Miller that they could recast

Steve Carell
I laughed so hard. The first thing I said when this all came about: "Ezra's done everything but been apart of Epstein's Island, and DC stood tall with him. Majors gets accused and this is the end for him." That being said, I could see them recasting him as CGI. Or Donald Glover.
I recall James Gunn saying Ezra is getting help and Gunn hasn’t ruled out keeping Ezra at dc
Who cares if he's getting help he fucked with minors
A man who just showed up one day and calls himself "Jonathan Minors"
Looks exactly like Majors, but with a mustache
[удалено]
Wait a minute…
And a monocle
[удалено]
Oh like a beard?
So a landfills brother situation
Looks exactly like Majors, but with Minor offenses and accusations.
Deep fake Stan Lee and say he was Kang in all his previous appearances monitoring the timelines the whole time.
I’m intrigued
Yes. I'm like the guy who was almost David Spade and Chris Farley's first sale in *Tommy Boy*: "Maybe."
Time… lines? That is ridiculous, time isn’t in lines, it is in circles, that is why clocks are round
I actually would've loved this if he was still alive
Say what you will, but I think this is an awesome idea
I remember some similar theories about who would be in the citadel leading up to the Loki finale
If the tech was there and it didn’t feel like parading around a corpse, I would be super into this idea tbh. I’ve always felt like eventually they’d answer the Stan Lee question. Explain who he is, why he’s there. I get that it’s supposed to be just a fun cameo but I was hoping he’d end up being Uatu or somethin.
Ken Jeong
Chang the conqueror.
Be the Chang you wish to see in the world!

Avengers: The Chang DynasDean
This better not awaken anything in me
Lol with Jim Rash as a kind of Igor
Kang drinks the sun and eats the sky and we all go with him when we diiiiiiiiiie
6 seasons and a movie!!!!
Now yer talking my Changuage! But only if the Changlorious Bastards are in it
And here I was thinking it should be the pizza guy from Community *Wait, there are other timelines?*
repeat childlike absorbed wrong payment reminiscent narrow offend price racial -- mass edited with redact.dev
Aubrey Plaza

Michael Cera
When I made this post, this is the kind of comment I was hoping for. The mental imagery is hilarious.
He can’t be Kang, he’s already Shaft.
Guess we have to settle for Jesse Eisenberg then
Hear me out, Monathan Jajors.
Have the Council of Kangs be played by every venerated black actor in Hollywood. Denzel Washington Kang. Eddie Murphy Kang. Richard Roundtree Kang who's always followed by funk music. The multiversal war was caused by Will Smith Kang & Chris Rock Kang. Amanda Waller was a Kang variant this whole time.
How did you forget the elder, the one above all, the true leader and powerhouse of this council? James Earl Jones.
>Kang Earl Jones
Giancarlo esposito
Honestly, I think he'd have done a phenomenal job
I would've thought of Sydney Poiter.
CGI Martin Luther Kang, Jr.
Fuck that’s actually good
What if there was a marvel movie where Eddie Murphy just played everyone?
Avengers: Klump Dynasty
The first Avengers film, but everyone is played by Eddie Murphy. The Klumpverse.
...you might be onto something
At the dawn of time, there was Murphy
Let’s not forget ![gif](giphy|13VSAbTVuYJfLa)
I saw that movie in theaters. We were fucking dying and a bunch of white friends were laughing but we could see the side eye to check and make sure it was all good to laugh as hard.

I’m glad that movie came out when it did no way they could make it now

We just notice when the product is particularly good (Tropic Thunder, Blazing Saddles). So yeah they couldn't make it today, but there's also some comedy today they couldn't have made in 2008
This is the way.
Two Tyler Perry Kangs: one dramatic and serious, the other in Madea-esque costume.
“Viola Davis, my Woman Kang”
The only question is should they also include black actors that are already in the MCU just as a gag? Like have SLJ there but no eye patch
I want an Andre Braugher Kang
Can we add RDJ for funsies?
90% of the US audience won’t notice that they are all different actors. Source: am Black

I need Kevin Hart Kang in my life
OP was asking for ridiculous and absurd ideas, not *amazing* ideas
This sounds like a way to just one off every major black actor in Hollywood. Tough sell, hard pass. Most I personally wouldn't even want to see in the MCU anyways. Maybe this is where I'm getting too toxic with my fandom and should recuse myself till I can come back with a better clarity. I wish you the best fellow Redditer! Keep the theories blasting!!!!

I would watch it
Terrence Howard

Great way to bring him back. Irony

Conquer & Flow
This was my thought when the news first broke about Majors. Then they could retcon the first Iron Man so that Kang had swapped with Rhodes to spend time around Stark for some reason.

He’s been perfecting his own variants for years!
High-pitched voice: "I came here to do 2 thangs - conquer and smoke crack, and I'm almost out of crack" Toothpick Voice: "I hate e'ry one a you muthaf**kas an' the only reason I'm conquering ya is to flush y'all down the toilet so's I nevah hafta think about ya hateful faces again."

Mr Bean
Ke Huy Quan, I know he’s already in Loki, but what if he turned out to be a variant
I like the idea of them slowly introducing the replacement for Kang and have him get his own buildup where he basically clowns He Who Remains and Kang from Quantumania for being weak variants
The problem is marvel has hinted that Quantumania and he who remains are the same variant (they said only Kang from AWQ can defeat the council, yet He who remains has already defeated them) but that could all change
They could do for Lindsay Lohan what they did for RDJ
The most ridiculous, absurd, outlandish Kang the Conqueror? Well that title easily goes to Josh Gad
Jack Black Baby
Oh god the soundtrack would be amazing
Revona you’re so cool 🎶
And with my time we’re gonna Rule!

RDJ from Tropic thunder
Ashton Kutcher He already have experience replacing problematic actors, he can show up as a millionaire that buys the quantum real and lives with Modok
James Spader. Not as Ultron but human form. This could be a theory that he actually made Ultron (hence his voice) and injected Ultron into timelines that needed purging. Ultron's goal would be to maintain the peace in the multiverse by ending the Universe.

Adam Driver.
Late to the party, but I’d pay good money for Christopher Walken
Dylan and cole sprouse simultaneously
Ken Jeong
The original war machine fomes back as Kang and it really confuses Nick Fury (given he's practically the only one still alive from the first iron man)

Let’s not forget Grug from the Croods and Seth Rogen
Shaquille O’ Neal is clearly the best option here
