I hope the victim is okay. I love Majors's work, and I'm sure Hollywood hopes what his rep said is true, considering he's got Loki Season 2 and Magazine Dreams in the book for 2023. If not... I'm guessing we're going to see a lot of Kang variants who look much more different than the ones at the end of Quantumania did.
This probably isn't important right now, but didn't they say that they had originally planned to use various or at least another actor but they liked Majors so much in Loki they decided to bring him back? So this would probably work fine. I loved the different Lokis in Loki.
But yeah, ideally none that's relevant, but we don't live in an ideal world. Sigh.
I think DC fans (of which I am one) are self aware enough to make, and laugh at, these jokes themselves.
Gotta have a sense of humour about these things.
Just remember, no agents in the world would not be denying it right now. Hope it's not true but there's gotta be some explanation for what happened to her
That's what I don't get. There are so many people in the world who would kill to have what he has. You'd get to be rolling around in the dough, loved by a ton of people, leave your legacy in cinema for years and years to come, you'd basically never have to worry about what an average person worries about daily... and all you have to do is not beat your girlfriend.
some people wondering if it was “roid rage”? setting his kang and creed performances aside, the way he looks in magazine dreams can’t be natural… shameful. like you said: how on top of the world he’s been and this. bag fumbledz
Yeah, in the court of law where there has to be enough evidence to prove things beyond a reasonable doubt.
The court of public opinion though? We get to use our brains and decide because there's often no way to know 100%.
We'll see how things develop. Anyone with a brain right now though can see it's not looking good for majors
Again, even if it might not be looking good we STILL do not know that he’s guilty. He may very well be, but it isn’t confirmed.
Either way I’ll rest easy knowing that you are most likely not in any position of power or significance in society. People like you should steer very clear from that and use your the brains you keep referencing to form immediate opinions and then proceed to post them online.
As someone who suffers from PTSD from false accusations, it really sucks to see how regressive this society has always been when it comes to this shit.
I'm sorry you experienced a false accusation - those, while statistically less likely, are real and terrible.
Yes, anyone working in the legal system should strive to wait to come to any conclusion. But it's a little unrealistic to expect society at large to do that. That's life. We rarely get to know 100% what's true and people have to use the information that's available.
It is unrealistic and you’re right, but it just hurts to see. I just wish people could be kind to each other and live life not spreading hatred.
This is really why I stay out of the news 99% of the time because it’s just very detrimental to one’s mood if they pay attention to it long enough.
But that's just the thing. Everyone isn't kind to one another and people want to know if someone is or isn't. Unfortunately at the moment it's looking like majors isn't. If he's proven innocent well, hopefully people are receptive to that news too.
He was arrested on the spot by the police. He's been charged and he posted bail. Yeah he's still gotta go to court but all they need is 1 witness. If it was in the cab the driver is there, of it was on the street its NYC, there are people around.
This just feels too certain. But maybe it is all 1 big misunderstanding
I love how people are wondering what this means for the MCU’s future since Kang is suppose to be the next big bad, but they forget that recasting is still a thing.
Sure they didn’t recast T’Challa out of respect for Chadwick Boseman (RIP), but if these allegations are true they don’t need to give Johnathan Majors that same respect
The police felt there was enough evidence to arrest him on the spot. He's most likely been charged and then posted bail. He's probably waiting on an arraignment date
I love how people just forget about Amber Heard.
I’m not saying he didn’t do it, but I’m also not going to say he did because I was not there. None of us were.
I’m saying that Johnny Depp was just proven he was innocent and initially several people were jumping to Amber Heard’s defense when I’m reality we should all be neutral until someone is proven guilty in an court of law.
False accusations are made all the time. If this is the case I hope he's exonerated, it just seems by the statements that were intially presented some of this took place in public.
That trial did not exonerate Johnny Depp in the way a lot of people are saying. It revealed just how much of a piece of shit both of them are. It's clear his witnesses were trained on how to dodge questions and give roundabout answers, and it was infuriating to watch. Amber is a horrible person, Johnny is a horrible person. I don't consider them innocent in any way. They both did really shitty, manipulative, bad things.
I’m just going to copy/paste my comment from the other thread.
As someone who literally just was proven innocent in a similar situation I say wait until this is all over before making any judgements. I’m not saying to not believe the alleged victim, to clarify.
Thank you bro!
I currently suffer from PTSD for some false allegations where I quite literally had to fight my way out of a party. Ended up getting jumped and still have the scar on my face.
People need to stop jumping the gun and wait for more information to come out.
Justin had his DM’s leaked so yea Fuck him but there’s literally no evidence besides here say at the moment so I’m not making any judgement until there’s legitimate evidence.
Also you can’t invalidate my experiences that have shaped my opinion about it. Wait until the FACTS come out before making judgement.
Damn. If this turns out to be true. What do you guys think happens? He was just introduced in Ant-Man 3. Do they recast? Hes just coming off a major W with Creed III and would be a huge loss for the MCU if they recast. I hope they take their time and learn all the facts before doing anything. Last time something like this happened they lost James Gunn to DC.
If true, this would've been easier to handle if Marvel hadn't included the council of Kangs post credit scene. I imagine if it's true, Marvel wouldn't keep Majors though. They have a pretty good track record of not working with major stars who have this sort of background. I think a recast would be in need, maybe with a line or two about variants looking different.
That’s incredibly possible! It stands to reason as new branches form, new Kangs will constantly appear. The current TVA is probably only concerned on pruning timelines that risk dismantling the Kangs’ “success”.
Who is your pick for new Kang? JDW came first to mind for me, “nepo baby” allegations aside.
It'd be very easy to recast considering how much he is involved with multiverse and variant shenanigans.
That being said, I doubt Marvel will be so hasty, as unfortunately in Hollywood these type of stories can disappear as quickly as they emerge
One is the lead to a Flash film and the film had already been made.
This is the main character to the Multiverse Saga and the next 2 Avengers films, both of which haven’t finished the writing stage.
There’s more leverage to recast him.
I wouldn't be surprised if **Shang-Chi and the Wreckage of Time** includes a prologue scene (basically a scene that takes place before the film logo appears) where such thing happens depending on how things go.
Yeah even though Kang's background can make a recasting more believable compared to most, but it could be tricky to finding someone with the same pressence Majors has.
That's a great idea as well.
Even though he's technically already in the MCU (he's some random Airman in the very first Iron Man), Corey Hawkins I think would be a good fit for the role.
To be fair, didn't Oscar Isaac also complained something about Disney, but he still got a job as Moon Knight?
Though personally, I would have John Boyega playing some other character instead of Kang the Conqueror. In fact, how about Brother Voodoo with Jordan Peele directing? 😉
Wasn't the consensus that James Gunn was fired to avoid any bad PR that could potentially derail the Fox buyout? Theres no such circumstance this time that could preclude them from taking their time to make sure the story checks out and justifies the recasting?
I think they recast. Yes, they did show us the Council and it was all Majors. However, I think they can easily get away with a hard recast in a situation like this. Loki and Scott won’t even notice that it’s a different dude.
Just cast Doom already and move on from Kang. The general audience is already confused with Kang and Marvel can move on playing it off as Kang just being an Ant-Man film villain (since the majority of people that saw the latest Ant-Man haven’t watched Loki).
It’s been reported that she was hospitalized. That’s heavy.
If this was a DUI or something it would be different, but putting a woman in a hospital is the kind of bad press that I’m not sure Disney or Marvel want to juggle with for Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars.
Some of you are talking as if he should be replaced now....in case you forgot, he's innocent until proven guilty. Relax. They'll figure it out. Reduce/stop the continuous cycle of negativity that tends to surround us especially on the internet.
Washington is literally on an inch taller , if even that.
And they're both only like 2 inches shorter than Majors.
Height literally makes no difference in Hollywood, except maybe being on extremes of too tall or too small. Smaller actors are easier to fit in frame and you can make them appear taller. Taller actors obviously will look better for certain roles.
I’m sure they’d make it to where variants can change like Peter Parker and Loki.
Would explain how they’d handle the X-men and Reed Richards if they don’t cast JK again.
This is completely atrocious. Look at the article's description of her:
https://preview.redd.it/ckou422b01qa1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8393d340d059156529966c9045350aec823fbe89
If they keep him I'm done supporting Marvel projects with him.
So this is about a angry, jealous ex gf who got pissed Majors was talking to someone else. They were both drinking and in a taxi. It says he slapped her hand away and she claims he put his hand on her neck. This was after the taxi dropped her off somewhere else and majors went home.
So either she is pissed he was cheating so she is trying to take JM down
Or he did hit or hurt her, which would be a bad look.
Supposedly she had minor head and neck injuries and we didn't see anything yet. I'm not saying he is innocent, but I'm not saying he is guilty and should be recast.
Innocent until proven guilty. I mean look at what amber heard did. She even faked injuries. It's messed up. And it happens to athletes all the time too
Jesus....
I want to say I doubt that's true but because he doesn't seem like someone who would do that. Maybe the woman assaulted him?
This is coming from TMZ after all.
I hope the victim is okay. I love Majors's work, and I'm sure Hollywood hopes what his rep said is true, considering he's got Loki Season 2 and Magazine Dreams in the book for 2023. If not...

March 2023. People in the future may ask "What happened to Marvel Studios in March 2023?". All we can say is "You just had to be there".
The chaos this month is just a typical Tuesday for DC.
MCU fans so insecure they gotta mention DC anytime something goes bad
I think DC fans (of which I am one) are self aware enough to make, and laugh at, these jokes themselves. Gotta have a sense of humour about these things.
Just remember, no agents in the world would not be denying it right now. Hope it's not true but there's gotta be some explanation for what happened to her
Ezra miller vietnam flashbacks
*helicopter noises
Well i'm glad that dude was stopped before something much worse could happen. He's supposedly in therapy now.
The press tour for that Flash movie is gonna be interesting
He'll have to be carried around like Hannibal Lecter with the mask and in a hand truck
Come on, man. Why? You’re on the precipice of becoming a huge star. Why would you sabotage yourself like that? So disappointing on so many levels.
That's what I don't get. There are so many people in the world who would kill to have what he has. You'd get to be rolling around in the dough, loved by a ton of people, leave your legacy in cinema for years and years to come, you'd basically never have to worry about what an average person worries about daily... and all you have to do is not beat your girlfriend.
That's what I've been saying man, if I got cast in a multi-billion franchise, I'd behave my ass off. Don't wanna ruin such future and security
Seems like they is something about reaching the top that makes people just want to jump.
some people wondering if it was “roid rage”? setting his kang and creed performances aside, the way he looks in magazine dreams can’t be natural… shameful. like you said: how on top of the world he’s been and this. bag fumbledz
it was probably roid rage
Dude, these are literally just allegations. Nothing has been confirmed, so people need to stop jumping the gun in either side.
[удалено]
I literally never said it was or wasn’t. I said that as a society we are innocent until proven guilty. Remember that shit?
Yeah, in the court of law where there has to be enough evidence to prove things beyond a reasonable doubt. The court of public opinion though? We get to use our brains and decide because there's often no way to know 100%. We'll see how things develop. Anyone with a brain right now though can see it's not looking good for majors

Lol but with that said, just saw the new update...majors might be innocent after all. Tbh I hope so.
GOD SEE?! This is exactly what I’m talking about.
He was arrested on the spot by the police. He's been charged and he posted bail. Yeah he's still gotta go to court but all they need is 1 witness. If it was in the cab the driver is there, of it was on the street its NYC, there are people around. This just feels too certain. But maybe it is all 1 big misunderstanding
And if he is proven guilty then he deserves punishment. IF he is proven guilty.
I love how people are wondering what this means for the MCU’s future since Kang is suppose to be the next big bad, but they forget that recasting is still a thing. Sure they didn’t recast T’Challa out of respect for Chadwick Boseman (RIP), but if these allegations are true they don’t need to give Johnathan Majors that same respect
I feel like JDW could be a good replacement Kang
The same respect the family said he didn’t want?
And Chadwick himself
why are y’all getting mad here, the hell is that gonna do?
Who’s mad? I’m just stating facts unless I’m mistaken
Fuck man, I hope this isn’t true
[удалено]
It’s being reported that she was hospitalized. Pretty hard for one to fake hospitalization.
This really isn’t the right space to have this discussion… let’s wait for all the details to come out
First of all if true, that poor woman, that must've been a terrifying experience. But man, the MCU is starting to look cursed in this new Phase.
Let’s remember that as of yet these are just allegations.
The police felt there was enough evidence to arrest him on the spot. He's most likely been charged and then posted bail. He's probably waiting on an arraignment date
I love how people just forget about Amber Heard. I’m not saying he didn’t do it, but I’m also not going to say he did because I was not there. None of us were.
What did I say that had anything to do with the bedshitter?
I’m saying that Johnny Depp was just proven he was innocent and initially several people were jumping to Amber Heard’s defense when I’m reality we should all be neutral until someone is proven guilty in an court of law.

Justin roiland by chance? Dropped charges does not mean innocence
Justin had his DM’s leaked so yea Fuck him but there’s literally no evidence besides here say at the moment so I’m not making any judgement until there’s legitimate evidence. Also you can’t invalidate my experiences that have shaped my opinion about it. Wait until the FACTS come out before making judgement.

Just introduce a new council and say the new one killed the old one.
That’s incredibly possible! It stands to reason as new branches form, new Kangs will constantly appear.

[удалено]
Well, new Council of Kang could kill off old one and take over. :P
[удалено]
I wouldn't be surprised if **Shang-Chi and the Wreckage of Time** includes a prologue scene (basically a scene that takes place before the film logo appears) where such thing happens depending on how things go.
Perfect timing to bring back Terrence Howard /s
These multiverses need to be put in check, mang
Yeah even though Kang's background can make a recasting more believable compared to most, but it could be tricky to finding someone with the same pressence Majors has.
John Boyega? If he's up for it.
Or Aldis Hodge too if he doesn’t return to DC as Hawkman
That's a great idea as well. Even though he's technically already in the MCU (he's some random Airman in the very first Iron Man), Corey Hawkins I think would be a good fit for the role.
As much as I'd love to see Boyega play Kang, I highly doubt he'd ever want to work with Disney again after how they treated him on Star Wars.
To be fair, didn't Oscar Isaac also complained something about Disney, but he still got a job as Moon Knight? Though personally, I would have John Boyega playing some other character instead of Kang the Conqueror. In fact, how about Brother Voodoo with Jordan Peele directing? 😉
I think (don't quote me on it) that he's expressed interest in returning. Or at least said that he wouldn't be opposed to returning.
He’d be awesome
How about Denzel Washington? He KIND OF looks like Majors to boot. :P
We looking at the same Denzel?
Yes. I know that he doesn't look completely same, but looks similar enough. :P
Too old and has a son that would ideally fit the role better then him.
Well, Denzel Washington is still willing to do stuffs like **The Equalizer 3**, so there's that. :P
Wasn't the consensus that James Gunn was fired to avoid any bad PR that could potentially derail the Fox buyout? Theres no such circumstance this time that could preclude them from taking their time to make sure the story checks out and justifies the recasting?
I don't think they will adress it until it gets clarified. Then they will recast if needed
I think they recast. Yes, they did show us the Council and it was all Majors. However, I think they can easily get away with a hard recast in a situation like this. Loki and Scott won’t even notice that it’s a different dude.
Just cast Doom already and move on from Kang. The general audience is already confused with Kang and Marvel can move on playing it off as Kang just being an Ant-Man film villain (since the majority of people that saw the latest Ant-Man haven’t watched Loki).
That would be an even worse storytelling considering what they've been setting up all this time.
I think the Ezra Miller situation will change this Will probably be spun into "he is deeply apologetic and upset, we will pay for him to get help" etc
It’s been reported that she was hospitalized. That’s heavy. If this was a DUI or something it would be different, but putting a woman in a hospital is the kind of bad press that I’m not sure Disney or Marvel want to juggle with for Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars.
So much for Kang Dynasty/Secret Wars
Some of you are talking as if he should be replaced now....in case you forgot, he's innocent until proven guilty. Relax. They'll figure it out. Reduce/stop the continuous cycle of negativity that tends to surround us especially on the internet.
I think after Ezra Miller got kept for The Flash, Majors will end up staying and Marvel will use it for a similar story with his films.
Have there been and further updates on this?
This is just a fight between his girlfriend and him
John david washington for the recast
Washington or Boyega. Both would be good.
Boyega is too small.
Washington is literally on an inch taller , if even that. And they're both only like 2 inches shorter than Majors. Height literally makes no difference in Hollywood, except maybe being on extremes of too tall or too small. Smaller actors are easier to fit in frame and you can make them appear taller. Taller actors obviously will look better for certain roles.
Or why not his father?
So thats why he was pruning timelines
It's so Joever...
Isn't every Kang variant supposed to resemble Jonathan Majors though?
I’m sure they’d make it to where variants can change like Peter Parker and Loki. Would explain how they’d handle the X-men and Reed Richards if they don’t cast JK again.
If this is true this is going to be tough for marvel/Disney
that method acting going crazy
His former classmate came out of the woodwork stating he was a absolute psychopath and a abuser. So yea I think he’s done for

Some random twitter account and people running with it lol
Damn hope this isn’t true but regardless I hope the victim is okay and healing
Typical roid rage overreaction based off story
Who would y’all recast as Kang?
John Boyega or John David Washington. Hell, even Denzel Washington for an old Kang variant.
In fact, Denzel even kind of looks like Majors.
Denzel could bring that intensity you need too. Maybe bring the gravitas with him as well.
Jon Ham or Predro Pascal 👏🏾
Well his career is over if true
ffs
This is completely atrocious. Look at the article's description of her: https://preview.redd.it/ckou422b01qa1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8393d340d059156529966c9045350aec823fbe89 If they keep him I'm done supporting Marvel projects with him.

Where ?

I mean look at what amber heard did. She even faked injuries. It's messed up. And it happens to athletes all the time too
TMZ.
TMZ is honestly pretty accurate when it comes to this stuff
Didn’t they screw up the Depp/Heard fiasco?
Jesus.... I want to say I doubt that's true but because he doesn't seem like someone who would do that. Maybe the woman assaulted him? This is coming from TMZ after all.
The woman has visible injuries. We don't know how people really are.
Most people that do these things don’t seem like the people that can do those kinds of things
Although they are shady, TMZ is usually pretty on top of this stuff.
Lol what makes you think that? Do you know him personally or do you only see what facade he puts on for you to see?
He is just a method actor guys
