Fans expressed their shock recently when Marvel Studios announced that Jonathan Majors would not portray Kang The Conqueror anymore in future Marvel projects. The news sent tremors down the fandom as the character had established himself as the next big bad wolf of the MCU after the end of the Infinity Saga. Majors’ departure from MCU has left a void as either the studio might have to change the entire storyline of upcoming projects or they’ll have to cast someone else for the role. However, a WWE former United States Champion believes that he could prove a wise choice for the role.
