Loki (on Disney+) Official Thread - S2 Finale Out Now! Spoilers Within!

[jingle.boy]

Just move away from Kang completely.  He's not been a compelling villain and getting punched out by Ant-Man hardly screams end level boss threat.
Also they've not as of yet really done much showing any attempt to rebuilt a new avengers team, which they probably need to start focusing on.

Yeah, Thanos dispatches Hulk in a fist-fight with relative ease; Kang can't out-box an Ice-Cream Scooper.

Ya know... I'm glad Marvel waited until after he was convicted to drop him. I think that's the way it should be unless there's iron clad video evidence of a crime. I couldn't care less about Kang as a character. Or Majors portrayal of him. So far I haven't been super impressed, but the there are many variants and they'll just get more powerful. I'm sure they'll just recast and move on with the plan.

[bosk1]

Although I didn't initially care about them bringing Kang into the MCU, I've really REALLY enjoyed what Marvel has done with the character thus far AND Majors' portrayal.  But love it, hate it, or somewhere in between, the bottom line is that this is yet another hit to Marvel as they continue to struggle after phase 3.

The Multiverse Saga for me has definitely been hit or miss but the Kang storyline, so far, has been a big hit. I understand that people felt let down by him being beat by Ant-Man but the whole purpose of the villain is that there are literally thousands of meaner versions of him lurking out there. Cut one head, and from it 10 more will spring. I feel that's the point they were trying to make (although it did feel like a letdown that there were no true consequences of such encounter with any of the characters). Scott should've died, and have a variant of him take over his roles as the "main universe" Ant-Man or something. They literally can do anything with their multiverse storytelling devices.

I really hope they don't ditch his storyline because they're invested so much into it (it's been years of teasing The Kang Dynasty and the big multiversal war). It's a shame about Majors, though, because I feel he's a pretty amazing actor and really brought the variants to life.

There are some pretty amazing actors that could take over, and I wouldn't mind! Any ideas?

Terrance Howard.

Terrance Howard.

I don't know why he was replaced for IM2, but I wouldn't mind him coming back.

[Adami]

There's been a lot of multiversal stuff thus far. But to my immediate memory, only Spider-Man and Loki (though I guess technically Thor briefly) have had variants played by other actors.

A very strange thing to do, given all of the potential. But it also means that literally any actor or actress can play whatever Kang we see next. It makes no difference.

But yes, Terrance Howard.

[soupytwist]

Regé-Jean Page.

John David Washington seems popular ATM, but I'm not sure he's got the charisma for the role based on what I've seen him in.

This is a great point. The having all Kangs be played by the same actor was a pretty cool milestone for Majors because he could showcase a pretty wide spectrum of acting abilities and of course, made sense because before his legal problems he was possibly one of Hollywood's fastest rising stars. Talk about rising & falling.

Now, unlike the Infinity Saga where we were mostly bound to one world and one timeline they can literally pull off any actor and without any explanation tell the world he's a new Kang. I do hope for a recast because there's a lot of potential in there (and I need me some Rama-Tut facing Moon Knight).

He and RDJ butted heads on IM1.

He’s a very talented actor, but I get the impression that he doesn’t really care for “the big machine” of it all.

[Orbert]

I read that he and RDJ didn't get along, and also that he was a pain in the ass in general, seeming to think himself "above" doing comic book movies due to his previous work.  Maybe something about salary as well; it's been a while.  But the MCU showrunners decided that it wasn't worth it to deal with him, and personally I like Don Cheadle better anyway.

[Lonk]

That makes sense, and yeah Don Cheadle has been great in everything he has been in.

I mentioned it when Guardians 3 came out, but Chukwudi Iwuji would be a great replacement. I think Yahya Abdul-Mateen would be good in the role as well.

[MinistroRaven]

John Boyega would be the perfect fit.
But he already said no, so, I guess is only wait and see who they bring for the role.
