Marvel fans debate over Jonathan Majors' future in the franchise

Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest supervillain and the star of the new phase, Jonathan Majors, who took on the role of Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki season 1, is reportedly being removed by the studio after domestic abuse allegations surfaced against him.

With so much debate and discussion going on, it seems that Marvel has already started to distance itself from the actor in the poster of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's digital release.

Majors first appeared in the universe in Loki, where he played a different version of Kang, known as He who remains. His subtle portrayal was arguably the most interesting thing about Marvel, which has struggled to make the impacts expected of the studio with recent films. If they were to fire Jonathan Majors, which seems to be very much in the books as of now, the studio might face yet another setback.

How are fans reacting to Jonathan Majors' alleged exit from the MCU?

While Jonathan Majors has instantly become a name that stars or studios do not want to associate with, some fans are mourning the loss of such a fine actor. Most comments made it clear that Majors deserves to be fired if he was involved in the infamous incident, but fans also acknowledged the acting prowess that the veteran actor brought in.

Jonathan Majors was allegedly arrested in New York City on Saturday, March 25, on charges of assault. A statement from the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information read:

"A preliminary investigation determined that a 33-year-old male was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old female...The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident. The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition."

While Majors claims that he will clear his name, this incident will leave a big dent in the promising actor's career, including his stint in the MCU, which could become the biggest affected area.

Here's how some people reacted to Majors' alleged removal:

Additionally, several sources have claimed that Ryan Gosling, the La La Land star, will replace Majors as Kang. It is quite possible for Marvel to turn a character around completely without disrupting the story, thanks to the introduction of variants and multiverses in recent films.

All the reports are still blurry with half-known facts, and it will take some time before the exact picture comes out in full light.
