Marvel may have found its replacement for Jonathan Majors

The recasting of Kang the Conqueror should be one of the easiest things to do in the MCU with the current Multiverse Saga in place. Marvel has established a storyline where variants of the same character exist within the multiverse and each one may look different or have a different origin story.

A good example would be the ending of The Marvels where Monica Rambeau wakes up in a different universe and is greeted by an alternate version of her mother - but there are dozens of others in recent movies and shows too.

Marvel has also recast several characters in its history with the likes of Don Cheadle taking on the role of James Rhodes aka War Machine from Terrence Howard (we'd find it hilarious if Howard would return as Kang, but alas). The character of Bruce Banner aka Incredible Hulk was originally played by Edward Norton before being replaced by Mark Ruffalo.

One main issue with Domingo's casting is his age. The actor is now 54, two full decades older than Jonathan Majors who is just 34. Given recent rumors of Avengers 5 being delayed out of 2026, Domingo may be closer to 60 when the Multiverse Saga concludes. This would potentially limit his time in the MCU to the current overarching storyline.

Setting aside the issue of age, Domingo will be a great pick for the role of Kang in the MCU. The actor has a track record of excellent performances and is at a stage in his career where he can pretty much do everything. It will be interesting to see him as a ruthless variant of Kang the Conqueror.

Marvel has not officially announced that it will be recasting the character or what it plans to do with future projects involving Majors. So, it will be wise to take the rumors with a pinch of salt.
