Doctor Doom almost replaced Jonathan Majors' Kang as the new central villain in the MCU.
There was almost a time when Marvel Studios considered replacing Kang the Conqueror with Doctor Doom as the central villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following the actor's arrest. It's a turbulent time for Marvel Studios on the movies and TV front. A host of movie projects keep getting their release dates pushed back, their visual effects have garnered criticism, and some Disney+ streaming shows have axed their writers and gone back to the drawing board.
Variety released an eye-opening feature on the current state of Marvel, which included discussions on reshoots for The Marvels and bringing back the original Avengers cast. The article mentioned how Marvel's brain trust met in September for an annual retreat. Reportedly, the most pressing topic at the retreat was Jonathan Majors' arrest and trial, and how they affect the MCU. One of the backup plans reportedly broached was moving away from Kang to focus on Doctor Doom instead.
Disney moves Jonathan Majors film off release scheduleWhen Disney changed the release dates for a number of its films, it also included the Jonathan Majors-led Magazine Dreams by Searchlight. Magazine Dreams was slated for a December 8th release, but now does not have a firm date in place. The uncertainty around the actors' strike coupled with Majors's own legal case probably helped prompt this decision.
For Disney, this is slightly surprising as just a few short months ago it felt like they had an awards contender on their hands. Majors was at the height of fame and only had his profile building with turns in Devotion, Lovecraft Country, and Creed III. The later movie dominated at the box office and everything was looking up. However, a minor theatrical stumble with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and the domestic violence trial getting ready to start have changed the entire conversation.
Marvel Studios fan-favorite Tom Hiddleston stars in Loki Season 2, returning as the titular God of Mischief for another round of time-traveling hijinx on Disney+ on October 6th. Loki is once again joined by Mobius as the two attempt to keep the timelines intact. After the events of Season 1 saw his variant Sylvie kill He Who Remains and unleash the wrath of Kang the Conqueror upon the Multiverse, Loki must once again embark on an adventure to keep reality from collapsing.
