Who will replace Jonathan Majors in the MCU as Kang?
After the Loki actor was dropped by the franchise minutes after he was found guilty in the case, fans started wondering who would replace his character on screen. However, after recollecting what Boyega told Men’s Health back in August 2022, it’s clear that he is not at all interested in this role. “that’s not in the vision for me now, I want to do nuanced things. I want to donate my services to original indie films that come with new, fresh ideas, because I know it’s real hard to top Iron Man in that universe.”
Boyega appears to still be furious that the creators of Star Wars didn’t give his role in the trilogy the respect they should have.“What I would say to Disney is do not bring out a Black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side,” the actor told GQ.
