Rumors continue to swirl that Johnathan Majors--and Kang the Conqueror--are out. The latest rumor is that Majors had a clause in his contract that stipulated he could not be recast. So, pending the results of his trial, it looks like we may have seen the last of Kang. This would also explain why the Loki finale was partially rewritten--to make Kang a footnote in a TVA file.
So who can replace him as the big bad of the multiverse saga? In this video, we speak with a couple of experts on who could be the new big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It’s very possible that unless you’re from ScreenCrush, you won’t read this…and even if you are, it’s still probably TLDR, but I’m still gonna say what I have to say.
When exactly was the second time the Avengers beat Thanos? Unless you’re counting the retired Thanos at the beginning of Endgame…which I’d argue, they didn’t beat, just because they decapitated him, doesn’t mean they won.
Thanos retired, he accomplished his goal and left it all behind to live in solitude, he destroyed his greatest weapon, and was just waiting for old age and Death to take him. They didn’t beat Thanos when he was trying to accomplish something, you could even say that Thanos gave up on living. The man was crippled by achieving his goal, didn’t try to defend himself (if he was trying to defend himself, he would’ve taken some kind of security measures, or put up some kind of fight), he even told the Avengers that he was done, that his mission was accomplished and he no longer had a purpose (…”the work is done, it always will be”). If Thanos had ANY kind of motivation to keep going, or a new goal, or hell, if he just wanted to live forever, he never would’ve destroyed the gauntlet, or at least put himself in a position to defend himself. The guy had ALL the technology in the universe at his fingertips, even before gaining the gauntlet, had he wanted to go on, he would’ve left himself some sort of defense at “the garden”. The Avengers didn’t beat IW Thanos, they killed an old man with no purpose of real will to live.
Kang wasn't killed by ants but a stampede of dog sized ants destroyed his technology by trampling him and then the Wasp killed him, Antman didn't do anything besides set off that device and he barely survived that fight with Kang.
Owen Reese a reason to introduce "DOOM"
I feel like anytime a black man is trying to succeed there’s always someone out here trying to take him down instead of uplifting him and hoping for the best. Stop trying to push this narrative that they’re getting rid of him and fight for the culture.
Don’t believe people. People feed on a story and say oh that he’s abusive and there is video evidence that his ex girlfriend Grace Jabari was at a party after the incident in the cab.
I'm tired of hearing Kang is gone. What happened to being innocent until proven guilty? Majors isn't guilty of anything yet so why not wait and see before throwing him under the bus?
Screencrush has a big bias on this, it's very clear. They say a "I'm not a lawyer" disclaimer to avoid defamation claim but then they just spout off a bunch of opinions about what is and isn't an appropriate contract for an actor signing on to a franchise like Marvel. He starts these videos saying that they will withhold judgement on the case but then immediately pass judgements and claim toxic behavior from something his agent and lawyer likely negotiated on his behalf, and surmise that he "likely" will be soon replaced ... Like idk if it's Ryan or Colton or whoever writing these bts news updates videos on Majors, but their bias is so obvious that it sort of sours me on their content in general. Just wish they would pick a lane and stay in it on this one...
@@mon_nobiThat’s like how he said “like only a toxic actor would do” when JM added into his contract that he could be the only one to play Kang… That’s just being smart about his contract. If I was an actor I would want the same clause in my contract.
Welp he is now
@@hanch3664 I don't really consider what he did "guilty" of anything...but marvel didn't waste any time dumping his ass did they? It's sad you can lose a court case, lose your job and possibly a career just for defending yourself from being assaulted.
It’s a hard no from me regarding bringing back Thanos.
forreal. this idea is stupid
Bringing back Thanos would be such a betrayal of everything we went through during the peak of the MCU, Infinity War and Endgame; Iron Man and Black Widow. I even hated his return in What If, I thought that was the stupidest thing so far. (I could go on about why I hated that part of What if... but perhaps another day).
@@testfire3000you sound like you’re just a hoot at parties 🙄 the WHOLE point of What If is to explore possibilities, so of course they can and should have brought back alternate imaginings of established characters.
Haha. Ya know he makes fun of “somehow Palpitine has returned” all the time (which is hilarious), so I find it funny he wants to bring Thanos back.
@@pablojams5152 No I get what you are saying. Sorry my comment was so brief. What If was a cool series and I remember the comics as well. I guess I should have explained why I didn't like that episode.
What If S1 E2 was, to me, kind of stupid. The idea that switching one eight year old boy from another would suddenly re-write the universe is kind of absurd. T'Challa would have been the one raised by Yondu and the Ravagers instead of Quill, so he still would have most of the same background. How do we expect that he had such deep wisdom as an 8 yr old kid to convince the Mad Titan of the error of his ways when no one else in the galaxy could? It was weak, that's all I was trying to say.
“Only I can play Kang” sounds like something Kang would say! Are we sure Jonathan Majors isn’t a Kang variant?
I was thinking they could do something like that with the movie lol
There's nothing wrong with that. That's like getting mad at Scarlett Johansson for requesting to be compensated for Black Widow's losses given that it was pushed to Disney+ despite her being told it would get a theatrical release. Idc if you like the actor or not, but a contract is a contract, and there's nothing toxic about that...
Imagine being called toxic for trying to write job security into your contract 💀 that’s a wild take Screen Crush
Factsss 😂 if RDJ did it they would say it’s a clever business move and how they love iron man
@@twilltvfacts
@@twilltv truly this take of theirs is way out of line, and clearly biased despite their "I'm not a lawyer" lip service
It’s so smart. Kang has variants. It’s easily conceivable they could get different (maybe cheaper) actors to play them as we’ve already seen in Dr. Strange.
He got himself certain work. It’s smart and anyone would do it.
I love this channel, but it seems like you’re really committed to push this narrative about JM without any actual knowledge of the situation. Let’s just wait until the court case is resolved before we label the guy a toxic abuser.
I 💯 agree
Thank you! Thought I was the only person that thought this.
Even if he's " Toxic" thats not a crime, if it was most of hollyweird would be locked up. Might want to wait till the outcome of this sham of a trial
Yes. But to be fair. This is how they pay the bills
It’s “innocent until proven guilty”
How would that be toxic? Sounds like an extremely smart business decision.
Right?! And what tells us it was his decision and not actually marvel’s ?
It's toxic because cancel culture said so..
That’s what I said!
Am I the only one who doesn’t think it’s weird to request you’re the only one who can play Kang? To me it sounds like a safe business move knowing how often Marvel changes things around and can essentially leave you powerless to their constantly changing storylines. Just seemed like job security to me
Screen Crush guy is cringe in is wokeness
He doesn't think before writting is script
It is 100% legit to request you're the only one
Yeah for really tho, that is a great deal to make
JM did a great job negotiating that, his petition seems reasonable to me, that marvel obliged to it, it's maybe because it's the MCU where stories are shorter and with less time/room for lateral expansion (very little Kang variants, compare that to across the spider verse), so it was a "safeish" concession.
No you're not. Ryan's being weird AF
It isn't. This channel would be on board if Robert Downey Jr. requested to play the Iron Man in his contract. Seems like they want 20 actors to play Kang.
Just a quick recap of the trial though 2 days: The judge is not allowing the accuser to be referred to as victim, her arrest can be referenced during cross examination and the sealed documents remained sealed despite the hit piece article written by vanity fair. The defense is asking to cross examine these exes. It's easy to pile on when things look bad so I'm reserving judgement on them. The Jury has been selected, proceedings begin in earnest on Monday. Combined with the video evidence that has been released to the public, Majors will most likely prevail unless new evidence comes into play. If Disney were to pivot it would be the opportune time. Just one thing though. Disney torched the Pirates franchise rushing to condemn Johnny Depp, and that was under Bob Iger. I don't think they are looking for a repeat of that scenario hence them being quiet on the subject so far. Lets all try and remember it's innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. And believe the facts, Don't automatically accept an allegation as truth due to gender(Believe all women or men). They should bring back Ultron anyway, regardless of Kang or Doom imo
Bingo. The only reason Marvel has not pivoted based on the 'disappointing numbers' of AM3 along with the negative publicity from Majors' current legal situation is because they were absolutely burned by the Depp/Pirates situation. I can respect (as much or little as possible) them actually taking a breath to allow for the legal proceedings to become more public and to try and see where the wind is shifting on this, despite the fact that I personally can't stand Majors' acting "style". Looks like Disney might be learning a few lessons from the last few years.
I don't like any of their takes on Majors they're acting like the roll out for Thanos was perfectly executed when it dragged on what felt like forever only for him to be showcased in Infinity War and killed as soon as he appeared in Endgame. Kang was sucked into his engine core and HWR specifically said did you think I was just going to let her kill me and that be it nada Rip HWR meaning that scenario had already been calculated and set in motion for Loki to master time slipping to be transformed by his journey because he was always one to take the monicer. The Loki finale left it open ended in case they can move forward with the Kang story or if they have to audible but he got what he wanted and was in total control of what happened I didn't see Loki outwit him I saw HWR step aside to let Loki prove that his way of not pruning & dismantling the loom will somehow prevent the war to end all worlds will work all he wanted from Loki was to keep his system in place because his intentions were to protect what could be HWR is Immortus.
@@JustJessee It's the most prudent and fiscally responsible approach. The asking number for Depp to return to pirates is so large that it's forced a reboot or it will remain defunct. Marvel has enough bad press now. The Barbarians aren't quite at the gate yet, but I know their optimal outcome, is that he beats this case and resumes as Kang. What if and Deadpool 3(mostly Deadpool 3) are poised to shut the naysayers and detractors respective pieholes. MCU's first R rated movie could really turn the tide. Here's holding out hope the Echo series TV-MA vibe lives up to the trailer as well. My prediction is that they get their best outcome....if they can leave the South Park Panderverse and focus on storytelling as the caveat.
@@Unknown_-bt8uv I like your take. I agree to an extent, it's just that the movies rarely let the show's set them up properly. An argument can be made for Loki season 1 setting up the events of spiderman NWH and Dr. Strange MOM even though the TVA and Loki were never referenced or even slightly nodded to. I like the perfect place to pivot bookmark the finale left things in, even though I am inclined to believe Majors will prevail. As far as kang goes, I think the comics are showing us why he stepped aside for Loki. Fiege is overseeing it all, and he's made Loki Avenger prime. In that sense, from a tactical strategy standpoint, the best move is to remove avenger prime from the board pre-emptively. It ensures the avengers can't stop the Dynasty. That's my Sylvie style stab at a take lol.
That was well stated, and well written. I shared the exact sentiments as you.
Majors trial is actually about to start soon. Not sure when this episode was filmed. So hopefully we will have some clarity soon
Started already
From what we as fans knew a majors had a witness that he never raised a hand nor voice. B video evidence shows her chasing him as he runs from her. C video evidence shows after majors left the Uber she goes to a club and is being swung by the hand she claims majors broke a finger on. Her story never added up from jum yet this clown keeps pushing that replace him narrative. Hence the unsubscribe a lot of us ex SC fans are doing
Marvel confirmed Kang is still in the MCU, no changes.
Out goes “Innocent until proven guilty”. The YT community has been dragging Majors since the alleged incident. Let the man have his day in court sheesh
Kinda wild you put this out. I remember Johnny Depp being labeled super toxic and getting dumped by Disney, then the court case happened……
he doesn’t believe in innocent until proven guilty.
Was this episode recorded before the announcement of Michael Waldron writing Kang Dynasty?
Didnt a few days ago he won majorly in the start of his case? All older incidents cant be used against him and it was allowed to let the jury know that the ex gf was charged with physical assault
This channel *clearly* films a lot of stuff well in advance of editing into a video for CZcams. I've watched *VERY* recent videos that imply we don't know Cassy Lang has an ant-man suit!
okay but let's not act like they haven't put him in a dark light ever since this stuff has come to light. Like saying I don't know if hes innocent or guilty and then posting 27 videos about replacing him..... HUH. i wonder how they REALLY feel. @@OG_Agrivar
@@121Greenthumbyea this Ryan guy is a hater . N one weird dude always crying about something
@@121Greenthumb yeah they are making it hard to watch their videos on the topic with all the subtle jabs and not so subtle number of replacement videos. I think the host is too much of a nice guy and is the believe all women type. The facts are all that should be believed regardless of gender
@@Dre-Eye There’s most DEFINITELY an agenda coming from SC-Ryan. It reminds me of how they so HARD on not Recasting T’Challa. Yet, when all these wh!t3 actors started dying, from The Thunderbolts & Ahsoka; NOW they’re pushing this “Recast” agenda. smh Not to mention, the fact that Marvel’s holding judgment on J. Majors & these videos aren’t based on actual released facts or Court Data.
Just keep Majors, get better writers and make a Kang movie havhim kick the crap out of the Avengers and at the last second one of his variant betray the others and save the day and then move on to Dr Doom.
I thought Kang was good I think Jonathan did a good job
The more I learn about Majors' case, the less I think he will be getting replaced.
All new information has been put out by majors pr team, including charging his gf, that he's exonerated etc. I wouldn't count on him getting off so easily.
@@sYnSilentStormso what?
@@challiray so what so what?
@@challiray What a useful comment you've added to the conversation......
We'll see. But that video that got out does not have people clutching pearls for ole girl. @@sYnSilentStorm
you been pushing for majors to be replaced pretty hard man...
A little TOO hard.... and that's a major RED flag especially from this channel.
Ryan is a trump supporter if that brings any clarity
@@twilltvmakes sense.
“Always say less than necessary.”
I feel like the big problem with Kang is that they revealed too much of him all at once, and there was nothing seductive or enigmatic about his storyline/character development. This is far different from Thanos, who made brief and powerful appearances. I remember from the early phases you’d be hooked into content like this because Marvel left a lot to the imagination of the audience, it definitely doesn’t feel like that anymore.
This. This right here is what I am trying to tell my friends.
I am probably an exception, but I wasn't hooked into Marvel movies because of Thanos or any other villain. The superheroes are who I'm interested in, not the baddies.
That's why I think they are comletely wrong about Doom. It would a big mistake to introduce him without mask.
The way to introduce him is the following:
Doom is the absolute ruler of a utopia. Latveria has great and free healthcare, great and free education, the freshest air possible and no environmental problems. Everything is perfect, unless you criticise Doom. Criticising Doom and wanting freedom means death. Not an offence punishable by death. Just death. You criticise, you dead.
Now he wants to take over the rest of the world. That leaves the audience with the question is perfect leadership preferable to a flawed democracy? The heroes obviously fight for freedom, like the freedom fighters they are. But are they on the right side?
And Doom needs to appear to be closer to Thanos than a mere human. He speaks slowlyly and deliberately, with a deep booming voice (with some electric distortion). He never raises his voice. And he never moves fast, unless he fights and then he's really fast.
That's the way to introduce Doom. The complexity comes later. His first plan gets foiled (because each movie should stand on it's own, but he remains the ruler of Lateveria, so he doesn't get defeated or killed. Reed Richards having an important role in foiling his plan leads to their competition. From now on he wants to show that he is the superior being.
Agreed. One of the things that Marvel did really well in print form was to have a mysterious villain appear (often from the back or in silhouette) in a few places, then appear as the mastermind behind some long running plot, finally showing up in a multi-issue sweep where the villain is front-and-center.
It was the way that Thanos was revealed. It's a trope, but it helps build interest.
@@ALaModePi As well, Thanos presence was felt more through his villainous associations, Loki, Redskull, Ultron, all were pieces in his game. Kang, for a guy who’s supposed to practically excel time itself, is extremely isolated, which even considering the variants makes him pretty bland.
I personally enjoyed Antman 3. I agree that the ending was a let down but Marvel could make that ending better by showing what happens after he is sucked through that time portal. If Marvel could show Kang coming out of that portal and wind up in like the X- universe or 616 or something then it would make Antman 3 better.
most people that actually watched it, liked it. And almost everyone agrees Kang was amazing in it, regardless of a few of the issues.
Exactly! They left us like Scot, wondering if he’s truly gone. They could totally show “not so fast!” And boom bring him back bigger and badder.
Antman 3 was a summer flick for kids in the MCU, not every movie is for everyone just because it participates in the same story. Change my mind lol
I liked Antman 3. But I could go without all those weird aliens, like the one that made them understand the local language. Gross.
On the other hand, this movie is likely for die hard fans of Marvel only, not for casual viewers. Everyone I know who saw the movie and isn't a Marvel fan or at least a sci-fi enthusiast did actually hate it.
@@Quirkywatchplus even with Loki season 2, they’re only doing with the 616 timeline branching so it doesn’t make sense for them to know about the council of kangs since they’re separate from time.
i love jonathan majors as kang, especially having different personalities in the movies, just let him finish kang dynasty then find a good way to introduce dr doom. there are a lot of time and movies/series yet to come out that marvel/disney can slowly culminate in the kang dynasty and introduce dr doom. this is a good thing for marvel/disney to make quality movies/series because they can be creative on how to end kang slowly until kang dynasty while also introducing dr doom.
Having you be the only person convey the likeness of a character that’s going to be seen a multitude of time isn’t toxic to me. It exudes a desire for perfection and continuity with the character, we’ve been saying Majors’s portrayal is great but imagine how toxic fans would be to whoever they had playing his other variants who I doubt would do it like him. Technically it can be explained as him being a nexus being.
seriously. actually, makes perfect sense he'd want to be the only one playing Kang.
@@thewayofthebeard3680 like they tapped him to play HWR, he walked out of their initial meeting cause they were late and he’s been great in projects before. It’s only being seen as toxic because of his court case and no mcu character to that point had to deal with actual different versions of themselves in his case.
He clearly has some issue with Majors specifically & I he should've been man enough to say it himself don't put that toxic statement bs on Doug lol. Kang, Loki, Namor & the Shanghai Chi movie have been the only thing giving the MCU any hope & they just want to move on cuz he was sucked into his engine core to probably become the beyonder so they can roll out Doom in the agonizing way they did with Thanos? Finally his answer is to bring back Red Skull to be the central figure of the multiverse saga because a guy trapped for 70 years is more menacing than Kang?
@@Unknown_-bt8uv I didn’t bother to watch the rest of the video and bringing red skull back instead of keeping Kang is nasty. Just from the basis idea of what Kang dynasty and secret wars should be on a Twitter thread I’ve seen will replicate the hype of 2018 and 2019.
I had to unsubscribe from this channel I don’t like how he was referring to Jonathan Majors 🤷🏿🗣️ innocent until proven guilty
Not sure what has changed over the past 5 days, or when this video was created, but it’s been confirmed Michael Waldron (Loki writer) has been hired to pen Kang Dynasty.
The rumors of Doom being introduced along with Kang are also floating around.
Nothing changed. They’re dry on content and making up crap for clicks.
I've been watching your channel for years. But sometimes you really put out some weird videos. Unless Kang is convicted, there's no way they're getting rid of Majors, because it would still make no sense & they'd really have to twist themselves to explain why the main driving force of the multiverse is gone & pass his motivations onto someone else. Saying Kang has been written out is thinking about it for 2 seconds and thinking the very shallow explanation does the trick. And directors, etc. getting shuffled aren't completely surprising. In fact, makes sense that Marvel is serious about correcting some issues by having one writer & one director for both Avengers movies. Besides, the latest reports say Kang Dynasty is still happening. So unless Majors' convicted, stop clickbaiting every 2 seconds & coming up with weird ideas that would honestly be terrible. Thanos? Ultron? 🤦🏻
exactly all these accounts writing majors off but then add "im not a lawyer or knows the legal proceedings"
Agreed! It's truly disturbing on the media has treated JM compared to other non-black actors. I have never this many recast videos or negative discourse concerning The Flash and Esra Miller?? I am deeply shocked to noticing this major trend on JM. Let him have his day in court first.
It’s their job to push this stupid narrative. Iunno Ryan is also a Weirdo
They canceled Spacey with zero evidence or convictions.
Screencrush has a big bias on this, it's very clear. They say a "I'm not a lawyer" disclaimer to avoid a defamation claim but then they just spout off a bunch of opinions about what is and isn't an appropriate contract for an actor signing on to a franchise like Marvel. He starts these videos saying that they will withhold judgement on the case but then immediately pass judgements and claim toxic behavior from something his agent and lawyer likely negotiated on his behalf, and surmise that he "likely" will be soon replaced ... Like idk if it's Ryan or Colton or whoever writing these bts news updates videos on Majors, but their bias against him is so obvious that it sort of sours me on their content in general, not because I care about Majors or Kang much, but because I actually do believe innocent until proven guilty. Just wish they would pick a lane and stay in it on this one...
So the fact that he wanted a clause in his contract that said he will be the only actor to play Kang is a bad thing? Do you realize how many actors have crazy clauses in their contracts?? Say what you want about the case Jonathan Majors has done an amazing job as kang and is an amazing actor and deserves those type of stipulations in his contract. I disagree with the recast and honestly think Marvel should just wait it out. We don’t even need to compare him to Ezra miller and people saw the flash.. time to put the pr team in action we have come to a time where we have to be really careful about just being quick to make rash devious whenever allegations come up.
Call me crazy but didn't the ex actually get charged with battery against him? Why is everyone so adamant about getting Kang out. Especially after there's been more evidence that he's probably not guilty.
Exactly
By everyone, you mean the company who hired him? Literally they're just reporting what they've heard here, and he even said "I don't know if he's guilty or not"
@@korymulanax3362so why speak on it n create a video to get the character gone ??? Lol Ryan is a goof
Kang isn’t going anywhere… I love you screen crush but I don’t understand why you guys are pushing this narrative.
They really are right
@@donzelljones5414 but how? it’s all speculation with no evidence at all of any moves Marvel is making at this time. None.
because they think the kang storyline will fail ,so some people are already asking to change the anthagonist. They don't realize that as long as the writing is garbage nothing will change.
@@luisvillalobos6373 I can see that they be relying on star power to sell
I see a bunch of comments saying that they should still just recast him. I'm inclined to believe the rumors about the clause in his contract. I'm also inclined to think that maybe Majors himself didn't ask for it. It's something that either has agent asked for or it's something Marvel could have included in the contract to make sure they always had majors at their disposal to play the character. Making it so Majors couldn't back out. But contracts work both ways.
Doesnt make sence. If its a legal case and he is found guilty then the contract isnt valid anymore.
I really like the Channel but the hating on Majors or the fact that they wont go along with kang had never been said by marvel. Really dumb to judge about something that isnt confirmed.
@itsakekmydude8190 a couple of things considered. First of all, the channel needs content. It's News, so they talk about it. I can't fault them for that. I also don't think they're hating on Majors. I think Ryan has been very fair and how he's talked about the situation. It's been going on for months. He has said numerous time "innocent until proven guilty."
As far as Marvel confirming stuff, the problem is they can't. If it's all contractual, then it is likely they are not allowed to speak publicly about it until a final decision is made.
There is no world where Marvel would tie there hands to lock an actor and a character together. I'm not saying it isn't in his contract just that it definitely wasn't something Marvel did. It was either Johnathan or his agent who pushed for it and negotiated something away to get it. That is literally the most valuable thing an actor can ask for.
It wouldn’t even be a recast. It’s a multiverse saga and the thing about Kang is that he can literally look like anyone. While we also already seen variants of certain characters who don’t look alike.
If they replace Kang I'm done with all things Marvel, me and my family, I see no reason for me to invest the time money and energy to be let down AGAIN by marvel
And to add to that point they CANT WRITE GOOD BLACK CHARACTERS to save their lives and that's important if they want me to spend my hard earned money to see anything else they put out
Facts
Wouldn’t make much sense for this saga but, we need a full Ultron era
We definitely do but they NEED to finish kang's story first
@@Julian.noa21 agreed
@@Jaysuave365if they wanted to make Ultron the villain in the multiverse saga then they should've gone with him from the first but Ultron definitely could've been the final villain you know like the age of Ultron story line from the comics and they still might be able to bring Ultron with white vision but it would really suck if they just leave kang's story like this like kang's story needs a proper ending like I was expecting loki to have rivalry with he who remains/kang like the rivalry between Thanos and Tony stark and I was expecting kang to have a proper ending
What if used Ultron already.
@@rudesword2852 that is true
I think that some people heard about a clause in Jonathan Major's contract and misunderstood what it meant. Rather than giving Majors an absolute right to play any version of Kang the Conqueror, I think the clause instead gave Marvel the right to have Majors play any variant of Kang. Majors was an up-and-coming actor, but he was never such a huge star that it makes sense he would be able to negotiate a clause that prevented anyone else from playing Kang. But even if he had such a clause, I think it would make a lot more sense for Marvel to buy him out of that contract than to just abandon the Kang character altogether. Again, Majors did not have the negotiation leverage of Robert Downey, Jr. He was never going to earn $50 million for playing Kang. Recast Kang, but agree to pay out his contract anyway, or if necessary, add on an extra $5 or $10 million, but get the Kang rights back. That would make far more sense.
I think it's typically for an actor and it was at the time of the actor strike, they wanted him and for gd reason, the man don't look dumb to me, I feel like ppl are not affording this man the same rights of any other citizens, trying to connect dots that are Irrelevant to the case at hand, anything not brought to court is hearsay, stop dragging the man's name though the dirt
Why recast him?
@@seancoles3052 this trial will be the undoing of Majors. Even if he is found innocent this trial will take around 2-5 years. Nobody can wait that long for him. Even if he has the status and influence of Denzel Washington, no studio can afford to wait for the outcome of the trial.
@@seancoles3052 The standard of "innocent until proven guilty" is the standard that must be met before the government may punish a person for breaking the law. However, a private company is under no obligation to continue to employ someone who is accused of a crime and is certainly not required to wait for a verdict before they can fire someone. It's not just movie studios that want to avoid seeming like they are unconcerned about domestic violence. Major League Baseball does not wait for a criminal verdict before suspending a player accused of domestic violence. In fact, they don't even require that a criminal complaint be filed. Once an accusation is made, the Commissioner's Office will investigate and, depending on the results, will decide on punishment. This was actually agreed to by the MLB Players" Union. There is also the example of the House of Representatives. While the custom had been to wait for a conviction before voting to remove a member, that was never legally required. I think part of the reason for that custom is that by waiting for a conviction, the member would most likely finish their term before a vote was necessary. But it was so clear that George Santos did not belong in Congress that even though the GOP had only a 4-seat majority, nearly half of Republicans voted to expel him.
@@j33w22 As far as I know, Disney hasn't decided to recast him yet, or perhaps I should say they haven't announced that they will yet. But the reason many people expect them to is because Jonathan Majors was arrested and charged with assaulting his girlfriend. Even if those charges are dropped, because there are rumors that he had been violent with past girlfriends as well, studio execs are scared about a public backlash if they go forward with Majors playing such a prominent part in the next Avengers film, or worse, the next two. It is such a shame because Majors is such a great actor. For his sake, I hope he's been careful with his money because he may find it hard to get any roles going forward.
SMH stop pushing this narrative the case is still pending and those conclusion u have drawn is to fit your narrative smh
I’m a casual MCU fan and even I know it’s bad writing / overkill is the problem . Not Kang , Majors is an incredible actor and Marvel writers need to do the Kang role justice , stop under powering him .
Also as a retired LEO , Disney can make Majors “ legal troubles “ go away . I’ve seen average joes who had as much witness & video evidence as Major has that’s backing his story , the case gets dismissed. Versus just her words & story . Prosecution and the justice system is violating Majors constitutional right to a speedy trial . When prosecution waits & delays , they have nothing period . And waiting for a witness to mess up legally and hold that over them to help their case against Majors . It’s all a sham , if this court case gets delayed again .
Jonathan majors owns this role, i don't think anybody will be able to fill the void if marvel decides to re cast kang.
Kang will return.....Majors just got a big win in day 2 of the trial....on the 4th the jurors come back to make opening statements and its expected to wrap up in 2 wks.......youre innocent until proven guilty.....and you cant cancel Kang!!
That guy just described what if season 1 Ultron and thought we wouldn't notice😭
Even with the recent failures and terrible decisions of Disney lately, I still have faith that they will make the right decision with Majors and decide based on the trial outcome. They ended Loki with a way to go either direction and we are now on a hiatus before we can expect to see him again too. So there’s time to continue with or without hin
They should really go through with him i mean Ezra Miller has done far worse and they stuck it up.
Majors really said in real life that he is also he who remains.
I Stand with Jonathan Majors.
Jonathan Majors as Kang.
Facts
If I remember correctly, cola drinks had coca leaf extract in them, but I don't think chocolate did.
Right. Coca and Cacao are two very different plants. And Coca-Cola was originally a medication containing cocaine.
I feel like everyone is going in the direction of dump Kang and bring someone else in. However, if I were in Marvel's position I'd be waiting this all out until there is definitive proof to consider the extreme option of dumping a character I've set up and then pluck other baddies in to satiate the fans. Kang was given the set up he needs to be the big threat he is and he "paved the road" (literally) , for this set up. Marvel actually has the wiggle room and time to see this through and possibly continue on the course it currently is on.
It's also a bit disingenuous to chuck up Kang as a poor villain based on the performance of Quantumania and thwn use that as justification to dump him. Kang was actually a very serious threat that was nerfed by the circumstances he was in while inside the Quantum realm. Johnathan Majors' performance also carried a big chunk of the film. Kang "dying" is actually par the course for what happens in the comics. Another variant, deadlier than the last, can come in to fill the void... or there's always that theory that Kang didn't die but was sent somewhere else outside the quantum realm, somewhere the council of Kangs cannot detect him so they interpreted him as being dead.
Steve Rogers returned the soul stone to a branch timeline, the red skull of the sacred timeline was freed when Thanos sacrificed Gamora. Also it doesn't matter much since the universe Natasha died in is the same as the one the power stone was taken from, that universe has lost its Thanos and his entire army since they went to the main timeline and died there. The TVA has definitely pruned that timeline just like they did with the 2012 one which Loki escaped from.
@@BuckyBarnesATL Yeah, is there a problem?
2:00 it is a great podcast! Also I think that was the segment hot scoop or a shot of poop, and you didn't introduce it correctly as stipulated by the hot scoop or shot of poop doctrine.
So awesome you watch weekly planet! You and them are my primary entertainment news
Cmon now that "toxic person" comment is just stupid, and you know it. Any smart actor would try to look out for their own skin, especially in Hollywood where everyone get's fucked over based on any silly little thing.
Why is it all these big content channels all of sudden want to replace Majors before the trial has even concluded? It almost like your all being paid to push Kang to the side or something. Just saying coming as someone who stood in front of that jury of 12 people before; it does break my heart seeing society judge people in general at trial before all facts are shown.
If we are being honest here there is a simple solution to the problem and easily could be how Disney thinks of this whole thing:
If Majors is found guilty of his crimes then there has to be something in the contract that says they can fire him and recast him as someone else, I find it extremely difficult to believe they wouldn’t include some type of “out” in protection of the company. (I really liked your idea of having Denzel’s kid replace him as he could give a unique spin on the character)
***BUT***
If he is innocent then keep Majors. Not just because he’s a good actor but because he’s your villain and with the public perception of him being an evil man will work to Disney’s advantage. Ultimately there will be those that don’t like him regardless of the outcome so don’t fear what can be a net-positive selling your story.
That being said if they did want to transition to Doom, the way I would do it is have him be a shadow figure for the Kang Dynasty. Finding out that he’s the one who helped Kang and gave him the power to win would make him a huge threat and by the end you could have Doom erase Kang and reveal that his goal was to let Kang eliminate the weak so that he could rule over the prime versions of each hero, creating the footsteps to his god emperor throne at the end of the movie, showing that he’s in the process of creating battle world. We don’t need a Doom origin for this one, EVERYONE knows doom, literally don’t even show his face. show him being the dominant force he is and have him be the build up to the secret wars with a Fantastic 4 movie in between to show his origin instead of the f4 for the 3rd time.
After secret wars they can go on to the huge cosmic and mystical entities, justifying that since they are all omega level beings that they either got free from their prisons because of Doom or they know what Doom did so they want to blow up earth to prevent another entity from destroying everything.
A differebt actor played a young Victor Timely in Loki season 2. He didn't do much, but casting that role would have been a nightmare if there was a clause in his contract forbidding any other actor from playing a Kang variant.
I love your content but dude no offense as someone who’s been in a jury trial, we should wait for all facts to be present before even considering on what to do. If anything a video like this just makes it feel like you have made your mind before the 12 people who WILL SEE ALL THE FACTS have.
I'd really like to see a live-action of What If Ultron-Vision played by the same actor who voiced him in the animated show.
Ross Marquand. He did an awesome job
Wow screencrush this video changed of my perspective of this channel
What a great thought about Vision. Definitely could be another path to get Ultron back and Jocasta is likely on the horizon. With Ms. Minutes in the mix that’s a supervillain team that would be tough to beat.
Dude the heavy anti-JM undertones are NOT the vibe, the trial’s JUST started and if you look at the evidence that’s been public he looks innocent. You’re really pushing to have JM/Kang dropped and I really hope you don’t have enough influence to sway opinion in Marvel’s direction here. Even if Kang hasn’t had the best start, commit to it and finish strong instead of dumping it and getting disjointed stories AGAIN like everyone was complaining about phase 4.
How did Dr. Doom become a doctor? I thought he got kicked out of college. Shouldn’t he be Mr. Doom and Mr. Freeze should be Dr.Freeze?
🤯
I've wanted Red Skull back, too! Would be great to see him, Dormammu, or Ultron. Love me some Doom but agree that he would be a more interesting background built up over time and debuted in full with the F4.
That clip of Thor with the wind in his hair then being seated in Dr Strange's chair was perfect for the ad, well done, editor
With all of the footage out after the alleged assault showing her approaching him on the street, in the club partying and the apartment manager letting him in the apartment the next morning and he called for help?
Ryan, I usually enjoy this channel, but I must say I am a bit disappointed in the video. It seems as if you have already made a determination in your mind about Majors. Also, they way you have the dog make little comments about Majors is a bit telling. I would think you would know more about how Hollywood contracts work. Actors/actresses have all kinds of clauses in their contracts. Queen Latifah has a clause where she doesn't die in a movie so that she doesn't get cut out on the sequel. Do you think Tom Cruise doesn't have various clauses that give him control or a upper hand in a franchise? I would think a person who covers movies and Hollywood as much as you do would have a little bit of knowledge about something like this. As Doug the dog commented about that being something a toxic person would do, that's business. I don't see anyone commenting on how Downey got a absurd amount of money worked into his contract for the films. People praised it as a smart power play.
Loved to see some different faces in this video, great discussion, really makes you think and appreciate characters like Thanos, Killmonger, High Evolutionary, White Vision, etc. I personally love the White Vision idea!
Why not Hydra Captain America? They wanna bring him back too xD
They better make a variant of Kang. Do not abandon the story! The multiverse is the best excuse as to why he looks different.
Did you miss that part where Majors contract states only he can play kang
@@KiibaTV ah sure did. I was in and out listening to this video.
Something I never thought of but I wouldn't mind seeing isn't necessarily the confrontation between Steve Rogers and Red Skull when returning the Soul Stone, but Steve Rogers finding Natasha's body. What if we got that scene? 😮
The Maker. Like there are literally two Mr. Fantastics in existence, and I honestly think that Miles Teller could be THE Maker. I mean, his character was literally based off of the variant of Reed that became the Maker, and Secret Wars (2015) had him as the secondary antagonist--so why not commit full way? In some way, it'll give Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards something to be wary off in his run as Mr. Fantastic--kinda like the burden of knowing that while he's the only one that can restore the multiverse (kinda like what happened in Hickman's Secret Wars), he's also the one that can fuck it up HARD.
I hope Dr Doom becomes an enemy in the Avengers Secret War which aims to destroy the TVA and Yanggrasil timelines created by Loki and tries to take the How Remain power from Loki to create a new timeline.
He was arrested for assaulting his girl? U mean Alledgedly? And kang was the best part of quantumania! If that’s the case it’s like saying kamala khan is the reason the marvels is underperforming! Ryan you fos right now dude! All that talk about majors isn’t even substantiated and we don’t know if anything can be used in court! Plus it’s not against the law to be an asshole! Robert Downey JR was a huge issue on many sets but he’s a great actor… just like JM Kang isn’t going anywhere they already have a new writer MICHEAL WALDRON!! You tripping 🤡
I love the Red Skull idea...would be a great connection to the past
I love did you know Doug at the end of videos. Please let that be a thing!
Not me shedding a single tear over both the character Kang and the actor Majors potentially being moved on from in the MCU. Haaaated the ham handed, stuttering, 'this is how awkward people act like, right?' depiction of Victor Timely. And if I never have to see a single second more of Rama Tut or any other of the absolutely absurd Council of Kangs variants I will feel blessed. I'm sure they work in print, but good gawd they were ridiculous to watch the whole 2 minutes they had screen time in Ant Man 3*.
In conclusion, not even taking into consideration Majors' current legal involvement, I am all on board with Marvel letting the Kang ship continue to sail away, far far away.
Honestly if crappy actors like Ezra Miller can still be the Flash then I’m fine with Majors staying Kang. Most of Hollywood is fucked up anyways.
Personally, I liked the adaptation to snarky Ultron. The scene you referenced really highlights why. As a character, Ultron has an unusual Oedipus-esque complex centered around his creator. Even though it was a cheesy omlet joke, it still resonates with what this character would be like if RDJ's Tony Stark helped invent him rather than a Hank Pym. He even admits to coming up with the same joke to Thor.
More importantly, however, Ultron isn't Ultron until he COMES BACK. Honestly, he's a great choice that I hope they have plans for.
I never thought he "got beat up by ant-man," I thought it was a ruse that ended with ant-man trapped in a time loop of his own, where he was allowed to think he won. Also, that would have all been revealed later in a different show or movie after credits.
Crazy how all this new information favoring majors side is out but you haven’t covered anything! And you guys tend to be one of the quick ones
Stop the stupidity please, he’s innocent until proven guilty. Plus, that girl was arrested for assault and domestic violence as well. If Marvel wanted to get rid of him they wouldn’t have waited this long.
Christ accusing him of being toxic because “more have come forward” yeah that’s cause they saw a chance for money lmao nerds😂😅
I’m surprised nobody mentioned Daniel Bruhl’s Zemo. He’s no cosmic threat, but Civil War damaged the Avengers permanently and audiences loved the grounded nature of the character. I think he’s the only MCU villain who got exactly what he wanted and is still active in the current saga. He also appeared with Sam and Bucky in their tv show, so they wouldn’t have to spend much of time selling audiences on a big new character. Not sure if there’s time for a Masters of Evil story, but maybe.
Seems no matter who they may or not replace with Kang is not what worries so much. It’s more who they have as writer. The same guy who botched Multiverse of Madness and supposedly his writing in season of Loki needed rewrites. There’s talk about Raimi directing which I def don’t want. No interest regressing to his 90s camp style. That’s not what the MCU needs if indeed they go this route
What if the new God Loki is corrupted and he is the new multiversal villain?
What villain should replace Kang?
Dr doom time
Dr.Doom 😞
I think it should be someone like a evil marvel Avengers but I really do think know
@ScreenCrush I love Doug and his hatred to the Doug plushie
I'd like a villain team with Dr Doom and Ultron leading them
Red skull would be a wonderful villain to bring back
Great suggestion!
I'm still hoping that they recast him, but will see, but if they want to introduce a new big bad, but with out using Dr.Doom for the multivers maybe something that the council of kang are affraid it would be the Beyonder and adapt the old Secret Wars (in wich it was the first marvel universe crossover before the Infinity quest) that involved the beyonder who want to know which from the hero and light side or the villain and the darkside win (like animated series of Too sandwich that i recomand you), we could still keep the Caméo Armageddon from the modern comics adaptation of Secret Wars but without the God emperor Doom just Beyonder or in the first part of the Avengers movie we setup the beyonder and then in the second part we see Dr.Doom in his God emperor form or maybe he join the side of the Beyonder to later betray him to take his place or power, but the key would be the Fantastc Four movie in wich i hope they use the Molecule Man has first Antagonists to proper setup the Multivers saga
no one here, so far has mentioned Galactus
love it. exploring tiamut. looks very cold...so we could have the snowy set and dr. doom building an armor to protect him which then like in the comics gets burnt on to his face.
Just introduce Doom in Fantastic 4, make him a villain instead of Galactus and then have him show up in Secret Wars. Done.
They shouldn’t switch the villain. They should just recast Majors and get better writing for Kang.
That’s most likely what’s going to happen and this whole getting rid of Kang panic is probably fake
If they have a contract with him saying they can't recast him, then they can't recast him. I'm sure they can if he's convicted of crime. That for the most part nullify is any contracts.
Whoa whoa whoa
If they didn't make Mbaku the Black Panther, why would they recast Kang
The actor is the character unless you're Hulk or Rhodey
@@richardthemagician8991lol right, it’s literally stated in the video that Majors’ contract states they can’t recast Kang within the first few minutes. I could be wrong, but it seems like some ppl commented on the video before even watching the video lol
@greenkoopa these two things don't have anything to do with each other my guy
What about Mephisto?🤔
Such a wholesome comment
Not the bees!
Meph might share the stage with Kang and Doom in Secret Wars
Someone define “unbiased” for Screen Crush
26:45 sounds like a good story line for the thunderbolts.
Wasn’t ever a fan. Going from Thanos to Kang was underwhelming.
They never gave him a chance. Kang could have been a legendary villain
In the Marvel Universe (not MCU), Kang is waaaaaay more of an opponent than Thanos.
And Wendy, you tripping about that Victor Timey. JONATHAN KILLED that role
I love your idea about Red Skull
Seems like the best scenario for marvel is to focus on some other movies for a while, definitely a good idea to get the Shang Chi sequel into production! And then either he’s guilty and they recast or he’s innocent and they film Kang Dynasty with him 🤷🏻♂️
Bring in Doom💯
Not yet
Maybe I’m mixing it up with all the cartoons but I feel like the red skull has been shoved down my throat . But you got me when you said it would allow us to reconnect to phase 1
I really like the idea of presenting the next big bad as a heroic figure whose evil is only revealed after theyve succeeded. Bringing the skull back to fill in gaps is also a good idea.
Honestly, the thing that most blows my mind is that the MCU hasnt had a string of recurring villains who win in some ways and lose in others. It works great in LOTR, star wars, dark tower, MHA, AoT... hell even my TTRPG campaigns are designed that the antagonistic NPCs link together at least thematically or as unknowing stepping stones to the major plot points
Victor timely in Loki season 2 did not have much usefulness besides having his temporal aura and his thruput multiplier.
I feel like they used Timely to set up Doom.
Like, I imagine og Ouroboros wrote the TVA handbook based on the work of Victor Von Doom, and after og young Kang discovered Doom's research he bootstrapped one of his variants in as Victor Timely as a failsafe feedback loop contingency for the events of Loki etc
Why is SC so quick to speak about Jonathan like he is guilty? It seems every video discussing him SC speaks about him like he’s guilty and the worst human ever. It’s a scary premise to believe he’s guilty before an official ruling. We can have opinions, but to essentially paint him as guilty based on what amounts to rumors is poor judgement. However, if is he proven guilty, I, agree he is a bad guy, recast, him, and so on. In like 3+ videos I have noticed this trend and wanted to say something.
I love the idea of Red Skull. His exile and proximity to an Infinity Stone is a perfect reason for some talented writers to give him a massive level up for his return. Great idea!
