Jonathan Majors stars in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” as supervillain Kang the Conqueror, continuing a legacy of Black actors in iconic MCU roles
Just don’t call Majors merely the villain. He’s the “big bad,” continuing through multiple upcoming MCU movies, prompting the Avengers to assemble again on-screen for 2025’s “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.” There is a difference. He’s not just the bad guy who dies at the end of the movie.And his role makes more Black history in the MCU, following in the footsteps of Samuel L.
The character first appeared in the pages of Marvel Comics in “Fantastic Four” No. 19 in 1963, as Rama-Tut, a time-traveling pharaoh. “I’m never cavalier about … anything, but especially not about the work,” Majors said. “As Kang, I had to study the entire pantheon of Marvel. All of it. [The movies] and the comic books. You unload and try to invest completely. There’s a lot of homework to do. That’s what helps with the improvisation. He Who Remains says, ‘I paved the road, you just walked down it.’ So this Kang gene, whatever it is, I like to imagine that I know every single thing that’s happened [to every MCU hero].
