Jonathan Majors discuss Kang variations and being a part of the MCU

• All eyes will be on Jonathan Majors in around three weeks.
• All 50 of those guys are gonna see [‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’].
• On February 17, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania makes its theatrical debut.

All eyes will be on Jonathan Majors in around three weeks when Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania reintroduces him to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There is no one better to discuss this version of the supervillain Kang the Conqueror than the Majors himself, and we are all eager to see how it develops.

The actor chatted with a reporter about his experience being a part of the MCU and how it has affected his acting career during a press tour to promote his new drama Magazine Dreams at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Majors compared it to the theatre and how approaching a new project is affected by audience attendance:

“It’s exciting, the fact that… Think about theater, right? You do a play, you have no idea if someone’s coming to that show, you worked your ass off, [but] you have no idea. The tickets don’t really matter, you already checked into a different ecosystem, you know? You’re hoping people are gonna come see the work you’ve done in that space, in that black box, for that long, right? You’re hoping it’s gonna happen. With the MCU, and with Kang, there is such a beautiful sensation knowing that the work that myself and my collaborators do is going to reach people. That responsibility is something I honor and something I really take on. [There are] 50 guys outside. All 50 of those guys are gonna see [‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’]. That’s beautiful, you know what I mean? That guaranteed impact, you know?”

Initial Period of the Dynasty

Because nothing is certain until we see it on the big screen, Majors avoided giving Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania spoilers in classic Marvel press style. Majors is undoubtedly the main antagonist for the upcoming phases of Marvel, but since variations will likely play a significant role in the company’s future, it’s possible that Majors could return to the overall plot on multiple occasions before Avengers: The Kang Dynasty debuts in 2025. The actor, however, opted not to reveal what will be revealed once the film is out and instead only addressed rumors from fans:

“[N]o spoilers here, we can take it there, but Kang has variants, you know what I mean? [There are] always variants. I’m Kang. So whatever comes through comes through, you know what I mean?”

Kang, or a variation of the villain, made his MCU debut in Loki Season 1 as “He Who Remains.” A more dangerous iteration of the character, who is imprisoned in the Quantum Realm and will stop at nothing to escape, will be revealed in Quantumania. This is the Kang that the Avengers should be concerned about if the trailers provide any indication.

On February 17, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania makes its theatrical debut. You can view the most recent trailer below and our star interview above in the clip.
