Washington, March 19
Actor Jonathan Majors has expressed his willingness to reprise his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), despite being dropped by Marvel following his conviction on misdemeanour charges.
As per Deadline, in an interview, Majors said that if Marvel were to call him to return to the role, he would accept without hesitation.
"Yeah, of course, I say yes. Disney, Marvel Studios, I love them," Majors said.
"I love the industry so much, and now I'm in the place where I can feel the love from them and actually express my love for them," he added.
Majors played Kang the Conqueror in the 2023 film 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' and was reportedly set to reprise his role in 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty' before being dropped by Marvel.
The actor's conviction on two misdemeanour counts of reckless assault and harassment led to Marvel reportedly distancing itself from the character. Instead, it opted to re-title the following Avengers films to 'Avengers: Doomsday' and focus on Doctor Doom, set to be played by Robert Downey Jr.
According to Deadline, in another interview, Majors reiterated his willingness to return to Marvel, as well as his role as Damian 'Diamond Dame' Anderson in 'Creed III'.
"Yes. Yes, to both," he said, adding, "The version of me that would come back to those places, though, would be different."
Majors' 'Creed III' co-star, Michael B. Jordan, recently expressed his desire to work with Majors again, potentially paving the way for his return to the franchise.
