Marvel Confirms Jonathan Majors Is Out of Its MCU Plans
The studio rebuilt its Multiverse roadmap around Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four while shifting Kang elements into animation and other formats without Majors.
Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Monday that Disney and Marvel severed formal ties with Jonathan Majors after his 2023 conviction and have effectively excluded him from future MCU projects.
- Marvel dismantled the Kang-centered Multiverse Saga and reworked Avengers: The Kang Dynasty into Avengers: Doomsday, placing Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four at the center of its new roadmap.
- Kang-related concepts remain part of MCU continuity, but the studio is recycling those ideas selectively in lower-risk formats such as Marvel Animation rather than in major live-action events.
- Reports say X-Men ’97 season 2 will feature the Kang variant Rama-Tut with a different performer, and a social-media post of AI-generated images by Meagan Good stirred fan debate without prompting a studio reversal.
- Jonathan Majors has moved to smaller independent projects outside Disney, and the change leaves two clear watchpoints: how Marvel will resolve unresolved Kang threads without Majors and whether Majors can rebuild a mainstream profile beyond indie work.
