Is that cause of the lead actor doing a bunch of stupid shit and getting arrested? They should just replace him with Cuba gooding Jr.

It's the multiverse, they should have multiple versions of Kang played by Kevin Spacey, Ezra Miller, Harvey Weinstein, etc... they're the ultimate villians

Black Widow already blew up Harvey Weinstein.

The word "up" is doing a hero's work in this sentence.

In one universe at least.

Don Cheadle.

Perfect setup for Dr Doom.

His contract said he was the only person who could play Kang in any multiverse.

Really? Disney done fucked that up. Also not enforceable as we know there was a similar contract in a parallel universe for Cuban Holding Jr. and our laws do not rule there....

Damn. If only a comic book franchise could produce a second character who was virtually identical to the first but with a slightly different outfit and mannerism. Shame that's never happened before and nobody would know how to do it.

I know it's celebrity news, so might not be true but the story of his special contract clause has been around for a while now.

"During our filming, JM closed the Kang deal. I remember asking said friend about it, and they shared some details. X number of movies, X number of dollars, and more interestingly, due to the nature of the character and potential multiple versions, JM had a contract clause stating that only he could play any and all versions of Kang.”

I wonder if another Jonathan majors could fill the role...

Did his contract say anything about getting fired for sexual assault?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Kodos dynasty then?

I guess you could say that Majors was Doomed.
