Colman Domingo Replaces Jonathan Majors As Kang In Fan-Made Art
While fans believed that the loss ofJonathan Majorswas a major setback for the studio,Colman Domingo‘s casting rumor brought some positive expectations among fans. Domingo won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor for his role as a recovering drug addict inEuphoria. His role as Bayard Rustin in the biographical drama film,Rustin, earned him nominations at the Academy Awards, BAFTA Awards, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards.
Two fans decided to give Marvel fans a treat and came up with art that showed what the critically acclaimed actor could look like in the role inAvengers: Secret Wars. The art came from the Instagram pages,@bensolo_cupand@spdrmnkyxxiii, who perfectly captured Domingo’s villain side. Both the images were designed after Jonathan Majors’s role as Kang the Conqueror inAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
TheFear the Walking Deadactor’s imagined look in these images has already won over fans. However, the studio has yet to confirm the replacement actor for the role.

After the casting rumors sparked a widespread conversation on the internet, Domingo addressed them during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. TheMa Rainey’s Black Bottomactor was aware of all the“talks and conversations”surrounding his casting as Kang, but he hadn’t heard anything about it from official sources.
Nevertheless, he appreciated the passionate fan discussions and was happy about people speaking“lovingly”and“kindly”about his potential casting. He toldEntertainment Tonight:
“I don’t know, I’m always looking at what I have to do right now… I know there’s talk and conversations around, and I don’t know how much is true. I don’t even get that from my team, I can’t tell if it’s true or not. The fans are passionate. Somehow my name is out there in the world [and] I like the idea of just having your name called and someone speaking lovingly and kindly about something is a beautiful thing.”
The one challenge Marvel has to address in this casting would be the 20-year age gap between Domingo and Jonathan Majors. Rumors suggest that Domingo will appear as a different Kang variant inAvengers 5andAvengers: Secret Warsfrom the ones seen inLokiandAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
