Jonathan Majors plays KangTheConqueror , a character capable of traveling through time, in AntMan 3. But ironically, his first meeting with Marvel Studios almost saw him almost walk out because the casting office was taking too long to see him
Studios almost saw him almost walk out because the casting office was taking too long to see him.
“I hope this doesn’t bite me in the ass, but I walked out of my Marvel general [meeting],” Majors said. “This was a long time ago. I had just gotten out of drama school and I’m running around town and I’m sitting in the office. I grew up in a very particular way and I don’t want to waste nobody’s time. So I got in there and they’re just busy. And I was like, ‘I’m supposed to be here, right?’ It got long and I went, ‘I’m just going to go. It’s cool. I’ll just go.
Majors bulked up for the role of Kang, eating 6,100 calories a day and lifting several times a day. The results are getting noticed as transformational from how he looked in the film,“In my drama school, something they really pushed on us was “don’t lift weights, don’t work out,” he told Vanity Fair.
They were adamant, especially with the fellas, about not getting too big, primarily because it changes your joints, changes what we call the breathing costume. I always had an issue with that because I grew up playing sports at a very competitive level in Texas, so I came as strong as an 18-year-old kid can be. To answer the question, what it does for me is it brings you closer to the character.
