Marvel still counting on Jonathan Majors. At least that’s what they’re going to let us know with season 2 of Loki. The actor is currently facing accusations of domestic violence, for which he was arrested last March. A case for which he has already lost several jobs. But in The House of Ideas he not only keeps him on the payroll, but he is going to give him a very prominent role in the next series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This has been confirmed Kevin Wrightexecutive producer of Loki. In an interview granted to Entertainment Weeklythe creative once again insisted that the presence of Majors It is very important in the future of the series. “Victor Timely is someone we are very excited about,” he says in reference to the actor’s character. And this variant of Kang the Conqueror aims to be key in the future of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe and in the Multiverse Saga, in which Majors acts as main villain.
“When you look at Kang, he has such a fun story in the comics. He has so many iterations. Timely was something we always wanted to do in Loki. And I think we’re really excited about how that fits into the season. “It’s a big part of the series,” he says. Wright. With these words, the producer puts an end to the rumors that in recent months suggested that Jonathan Majors had been eliminated from the second season of the series.
In fact, the actor will appear quite a bit in Loki. In fact, some sources speculate that Majors he will appear as Victor Timely in at least half of the season’s episodes. In total, the series will have six new chapters, so the villain would be seen in three of them. That’s much more than in the first installment, where he only made an appearance in the last episode, revealing himself to be He Who Remains. Not even Marvel nor Disney have wanted to confirm the time that Timely will appear on the screen, but given the words of Wright, Everything indicates that it will be considerable.
Marvel’s problem with Jonathan Majors
In reality, the company’s big problem with Jonathan Majors is that it is his big bet on Phases 4, 5 and 6 of his cinematographic universe. If in the Infinity Saga the main faces They were Iron Man, Captain America and to a lesser extent Thor or Thanos, for the Multiverse Saga the chosen one was exclusively Kang the Conqueror. For the last few years, the strategy had been to surround the villain’s plot with several heroes, as well as minor villains. But he was always conceived to be the leading figure.
Therefore, replace Majors It is not a simple task at all. The character can no longer be removed or replaced, since the foundations of these three phases would collapse. Many fans found a possible solution. The only way to get rid of him without disturbing the plot is to replace the actor. And in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 The perfect opportunity presented itself. The High Evolutionary of Chukwudi Iwuji He turned out to be one of the most acclaimed villains of Marvel. Followers have suggested that this could be another variant of Kang. Thus, the change in the antagonist’s face could be “justified.” Meanwhile, Loki will premiere with Jonathan Majors on October 6, 2023 (the night of October 5 in the United States and Latin America).
