Marvel Studios has reportedly found a replacement for Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, following his legal troubles and subsequent departure from the MCU. Majors initially portrayed the time-traveling villain in the Disney+ series Loki and was expected to play a central role in the Multiverse Saga. However, due to a domestic assault case, Majors was dropped from the franchise, leaving the future of Kang uncertain.

Recent reports by Daniel Richtman (via Comic Book Movie) suggest that Marvel has identified a new actor to take on the role of Kang, with an announcement anticipated at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. While the identity of the replacement remains undisclosed, rumors have circulated around several actors, including Colman Domingo. Fans eagerly await updates on the casting and how Kang's character will be integrated into the MCU's ongoing narrative.

In addition to the Kang casting, Marvel Studios is expected to make several significant announcements at Comic-Con. The studio's panel on July 27th will likely reveal details about upcoming projects, including the highly anticipated Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars. There are also rumors that the Russo Brothers, known for their work on previous Avengers films, may be in talks to direct these upcoming installments.

As fans anticipate the future of the MCU, the replacement of Kang the Conqueror and the potential involvement of the Russo Brothers are generating excitement and speculation. With San Diego Comic-Con just around the corner, Marvel enthusiasts eagerly await the official announcements and the direction the MCU will take in its next phase.
