I dont see a path to how they move forward with him. Beyond the bad press for Majors, the brain trust at Marvel is also grappling with the November release of The Marvels, a sequel to 2019s blockbuster Captain Marvel that has been plagued with lengthy reshoots and now appears likely to underwhelm at the box office. A studio source notes that regardless of the actors legal issues, Marvel already had considered moving away from a Majors-led phase because of the box office performance of Quantumania, which will struggle to make a profit. It gave people pause given The Marvel machine was pumping out a lot of content. Did it get to the point where there was just too much, and they were burning people out on superheroes? Its possible, says Wall Street analyst Eric Handler, who covers Disney. The more you do, the tougher it is to maintain quality. They tried experimenting with breaking in some new characters, like Shang-Chi and Eternals, with mixed results. With budgets as big as these, you need home runs. It's a LONG article worth reading, but those are parts of it. Basically, the audiences have dropped, and they've been thinking about overhauling for awhile now. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame_Zero posted [p:976975199] in Marvel rep...

A studio source notes that regardless of the actors legal issues, Marvel already had considered moving away from a Majors-led phase because of the box office performance of Quantumania, which will struggle to make a profit. It gave people pause given Kang was NOT the reason Ant-Man underperformed and it's obvious to anyone who was paying attention. The Ant-Man movies were always mid box office performers (by MCU standards) and Marvel Studios foolishly thought they could turn the 3rd movie into an Endgame-level success just by introducing Kang, a character that you'd only know about if you saw Loki. The biggest problem I see with the MCU at the moment is that they give these bloated budgets to movies that don't need it and they expect every movie they put out to do $800 million+ at the box office. They need to learn how to experiment with smaller budgets. --- I have nothing else to say <cite>RchHomieQuanChi posted [p:976975324] in Marvel rep...

All sorts of projects had to be moved around and it required projects to be reshot and rewritten on the fly. Ever since then, it almost feels like every project they put out is deliberately created so they can easily change the tone and even entire scenes and story beats on a whim. It leads to everything feeling disjointed and awkward.

MobileProphet 11/01/23 1:20:48 PM #38:	The general audience really doesn't care about the Major's drama. Both parties seem toxic with the case, but this event really shouldn't hurt his career since it's not like it's some case shut case with Major's being completely guilty. The people helming the Marvel movies/shows need to do better with their writing of the content Kang is in. Majors has been amazing as Kang so far. --- Mobile <cite>MobileProphet posted [p:976976320] in Marvel rep...

Prestoff 11/01/23 1:26:41 PM #39:	Jonathan Majors and Michelle Pfiefer were the only 2 actors that seem like they gave an actual damn in the movie, everyone else felt like they were half assing their roles. The issue with the 2 actors was that they didn't have much to work with. Pfiefer's character was basically a dumbass that can easily solve a lot of the problems by just fucking talking and Majors character failed at basically being a big bad, especially when he got fucked over by ants and somehow forgot he has the ability to vaporize people. It was just bad writing and a terrible script that made Quantumania a shitty movie. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:976976419] in Marvel rep...

masterpug53 11/01/23 1:28:59 PM #42:	Speaking as a MCU fan with little to no comic knowledge, I've been pretty unimpressed by Kang thus far. He fell far short of a Thanos-level threat in Quantumania, his presence in Loki S1 was the least-engaging bit of that season, and now that s2 is centering around him I'm honestly struggling to find the motivation to continue the show. Kang's threat is very much telling-not-showing at this point, and I sympathized pretty hard with Mobius when he said "that's the big threat you're so scared of?" (but that's also a general issue I have with Loki s2 so far: ~~you've got characters standing around looking crushed and somber that 'billions of lives have been wiped out,'~~ but it's pretty tough for me as a viewer to feel compelled by that when it's literally just a line graph on a tv monitor). I'm still optimistic overall and will give the MCU pretty much every chance there is to turn things around, but at this point I'm really struggling to envision how "this dude but thousands of him" is going to change that early impression. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:976976461] in Marvel rep...

Recasting Majors is also an option, as Feige did when he replaced Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2 with Don Cheadle. In fact, Marvel isnt afraid to change direction, even after making splashy announcements. Armor Wars was first unveiled as a series and is now being developed as a feature, while the studios push to adapt the comic book Inhumans into a feature film generated headlines but is now dormant.

The threat of Kang is that there a virtual infinite number of him, the vast majority of which are all hell bent on villainy and have mastery over time and space with technology.
