Jonathan Majors‘ firing by Disney from the role of Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has led to speculation over who could replace him in the role, with recent rumors suggesting Colman Domingo is the frontrunner to replace Majors. So, fans are eager to find out if these rumors are true. Here is all you need to know.
Is Colman Domingo the new Kang actor?
No, Colman Domingo is not officially confirmed to be the new Kang actor as of publishing.
However, according to reputed but semi-reliable industry insider and scooper Daniel RPK, while the question regarding Kang’s recasting is in the early days, Colman Domingo was reportedly brought up by the higher-ups at Marvel to replace Jonathan Majors as Kang. Despite this, fans should take this rumor with a grain of salt and wait for official confirmation from Marvel and Disney on the matter.
Even though Domingo’s casting as Kang has not been officially confirmed, he is one of the most exciting names rumored to be considered for the role as he recently delivered a brilliant performance in the biopic Rustin, for which he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. He also won a Primetime Emmy Award for his widely praised guest appearance on Euphoria.
However, Domingo’s recent role as the voice of villain Unicron in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is perhaps the best evidence of the actor being a great choice for the role of Kang.
Is Colman Domingo joining the MCU?
Colman Domingo has not been confirmed to join the MCU at any point at the present or in the future, as of publishing.
However, the actor would be an interesting addition to the MCU at some point in the future, thanks to his impressive resume.
Elsewhere in the MCU world, here is a first look at What If…? Season 3 which features alternate versions of Winter Soldier and Red Guardian. Also, James Gunn has revealed when fans can see Superman’s suit from Legacy.
