The Witcher and Rick & Morty could inform how Marvel handles potentially replacing Jonathan Majors

If you don’t follow the news (which, to be fair, is very justified these days), you may not know Marvel has a problem with its current crop of media projects, aside from VFX issues and waning interest from the general public for much of it. Specifically, Kang the Conqueror star Jonathan Majors is facing assault allegations, and, while not yet convicted of anything, he is headed to court and in the wake of all this many are wondering just how the studio may respond.

Right now, it is important to note as of this story’s filing, they have not really said a peep. Stars like Anthony Mackie have and he correctly noted nothing has been proven in the legal system about the entertainer, so, with this in mind, it is likely Marvel and by extension Disney are weighing their options for the man who was once on deck to replace Josh Brolin’s Thanos in the Avengers’ nightmares. They could write the character out and elevate someone else, though, this is probably unlikely given the tight production timeline across films and television and what is likely a strong pay or play contract for Majors right now. So, the other options are an old Hollywood standard or something various writers from Marvel may be familiar with over at another franchise.
