John Boyega Declines to Replace Jonathan Majors as Kang in the MCU
In the wake of Jonathan Majors’ departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), fans have been speculating about potential replacements for the role of Kang The Conqueror. One name that has emerged in fan discussions is John Boyega, known for his role as Finn in the “Star Wars” trilogy. However, Boyega has made it clear that he is not interested in stepping into the role.
Jonathan Majors’ Exit from Marvel
Jonathan Majors, who played Kang in the MCU and appeared in the second season of the Disney+ show “Loki,” has been found guilty of assault, leading to his removal from future MCU projects. This development has left a void in the MCU’s ongoing storyline, particularly affecting the upcoming “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” which has reportedly been renamed to “Avengers 5.” This suggests a shift away from Kang as the central villain.
Boyega’s Response to Fan Speculation
Despite the enthusiasm from fans for Boyega to take over the role, he has subtly but clearly indicated his disinterest. On Twitter, when directly asked by a fan to consider the role, Boyega responded with a GIF of Donkey from “Shrek” shaking his head, signaling his reluctance to join the MCU in this capacity. This response makes it unlikely that Boyega will change his mind and consider the role of Kang or any other role in the MCU anytime soon.
The speculation about John Boyega stepping into the role of Kang in the MCU has been put to rest by the actor himself. His disinterest in the role, coupled with the uncertainty following Majors’ departure, leaves Marvel with the task of rethinking the direction of its upcoming projects.
