NEW YORK (AP) — Marvel had more riding on Jonathan Majors than perhaps any other actor. Now it's parting ways with him, and throwing years of plans for its cinematic universe in disarray.
Marvel has dropped actor Jonathan Majors after the actor was found guilty of assault and harassment on Monday following the conclusion of his high-profile trial in New York. The studio didn't share additional details. Majors was acquitted of a separate assault charge and of aggravated harassment.
Jonathan Majors' conviction for assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, prompted Marvel Studios to drop him from his role as the supervillain Kang, in its upcoming superhero films.
Though the 39-year-old actor refrained from definitively stating his departure from the role of Thor, he also did not confirm his return, leaving it as a potential possibility. This ambiguity raises questions about when or if he will reprise the 'Strongest Avenger'.
In his last opportunity to escape, he had a brutal duel against Ant-Man, which resulted in Kang being shrunken and decimated by his own Engine Core, though his death inadvertently alerted the Council of Kangs about people interacting with the Multiverse, prompting them to take their own measures.
Following his guilty verdict in his assault and harassment trial by ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, Marvel fired Majors, though is reportedly still moving ahead with the next Avengers movies as planned.
Marvel may recast Kang amid doubts about his viability as a villain, and Galactus would be a formidable alternative for MCU Phase 6. Galactus is a massive and well-known Marvel villain, with potential to be a recurring threat unlike Kang, ensuring a greater impact.
According to the Hollywood Reporter the studio's next Avengers movie, once titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, will now be completely retooled after Majors' conviction on two misdemeanour charges of assault and harassment against a former girlfriend in December, which were followed by accusations of physical and ...

Summary. Disney is still referring to the upcoming Avengers movie as "The Kang Dynasty," indicating that they are sticking with Kang as the main villain despite reports of recasting or dropping the character.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is setting up a new villain to take Thanos' place, and it is surprisingly not Kang. Kingpin might seem like just a crime lord from New York City, but he actually draws plenty of similarities to the Mad Titan.
If Marvel wants to raise the stakes after Thanos and Kang, there is no better way to bring Annihilus. Like Thanos, Annihilus is a cosmic threat who is more than willing to destroy the universe in his quest for control.
Mjølnir: Thor was wielding the magical Uru hammer, which he had lost when he was banished from Asgard. However, before Thor could retrieve the Mjølnir from S.H.I.E.L.D., he was killed by Hawkeye.
Kang isn't physically stronger than Thanos, and if the two were to square up in a one-vs-one fight then the Titan would arguably win. However, Kang's knowledge of the multiverse means that would quite literally be several steps ahead of Thanos at all times. As a result, Kang wins this battle.
Even though the 616-universe's variant of Thor might harbor enough power to take on Kang the Conqueror by himself, Hemsworth's comments about potentially retiring the role suggest that Kang would, in fact, overpower the Asgardian.

Robert Downey Jr. is not closing the door on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which he kicked off in 2008 with “Iron Man” and headlined for 11 years through 2019's “Avengers: Endgame.” Iron Man met his demise in that tentpole, but that has never stopped rumors from circulating that Marvel is trying to bring Downey back ...
