After it was revealed that Marvel fired Jonathan Majors for assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, rumors began about who the new Kang would be. Several names were mentioned, but the most acclaimed was that of John Boyega, who already gave his opinion on playing this character. A user on X wrote to the actor telling him to contact the person in charge of “recasting Kang” and he would be the one to take his place.
To the surprise of many, John Boyega responded with a GIF of Shrek’s Donkey shaking his head to mean “no.” This makes us completely rule out that the famous person has not the slightest intention of playing this character that would be easy to replace since he was created under the concept of variants. So the Majors recast would be practically perfect.
Why Did Marvel Fire Jonathan Majors?
Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, resulting in his dismissal from Marvel, which had him lined up for two more films in the saga. The actor faces a sentence of up to one year in prison; However, the sentence will be announced on February 6.
“The evidence presented throughout this trial showed a pattern of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
It all started in March when police announced that they had received an emergency call in Manhattan about an alleged domestic dispute between Majors and Jabbari when they were still a couple. According to the statements, the celebrity received a text message and Jabbari wanted to take her phone away, believing that he was cheating on her.
“Jonathan Majors was found guilty by a Manhattan Criminal Court jury of assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree,” the Prosecutor’s Office detailed in a statement.
