Phase 4 Marvel Cinematic Universe It was a transition to a stage that is expected to be more dynamic. After Avengers: Endgame, the franchise was left in limbo. The main group of superheroes is highlighted separately. Several roles were played by other characters. The multiverse has been presented in greater detail. Along with this, the main villain of the next cycle was introduced: Kang the Conquerorplayed by Jonathan Majors.
The actor made his debut in the first season Loki. It’s this story Jonathan Majors he played “the one who stays”. This was a variant of Kang the Conqueror that is less aggressive, as shown and explained by the character himself, and was in charge of looking after the sacred timeline. But it will be a different version of the character that we will see in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Maniafilling the space left by Thanos for phases 5 and 6.
Regarding the possible relationship between Thanos and Kang the Conqueror, Jonathan Majors mentioned how this character influenced the conceptualization of the role he would play. Between his words, deep admiration for the work Josh Brolinwho acted as a mad titan.

One of the franchise’s accomplishments with regards to Thanos has been character building across different films. Gradually, the villain approached the viewer, until he completely burst into Avengers: Infinity War. This threat was imposed on history, fulfilling all the promises: indicating before and after.
Jonathan Majors has taken into account the influence of Thanos in his acting work and wants something similar for Kang the Conqueror. In statements given botanistthe actor explained:
“What Josh Brolin achieved with Thanos is that he tried to make him as 3D as possible to make his intentions clear. That’s why I think it was as morally ambiguous as it was bad.”
It should be remembered that the goal of Thanos, from his point of view, was to preserve the resources of the universe. The idea he came up with was to exterminate half the population of the universe. What will be the intentions of Kang the Conqueror? They are not clear yet. However, Jonathan Majors has mentioned the possible duality that his character will have:
“I think the more villain you are and the more anti-antihero you are, the deeper your constitution should be. My goal with Kang, as with every other role I play, is to make it as versatile and human as possible.”

What can we expect from the new villain?
Intuitively, the version in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania This will not be the only thing that will be seen about the character. The assertion of “The One Who Remains” that there are others like him, but less peaceful, is interpreted as a prophecy. The promotion of the third part shows that Kang the Conqueror must make an agreement with Scott Langembodied Paul Ruddto get out of the quantum realm.
From here, an interesting symbolic game arises: a huge responsibility falls on the shoulders of the smallest superhero again. What happens in this production will be key to the development of other offerings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For his part, Jonathan Majors could be facing the best phase of his career. After several roles in various films and series, he becomes the antagonist of the most important film franchise in history.
To this is added his participation in the third part believesaga led by Michael B. Jordan. This is another blockbuster that has been well received as part of the legacy rocky. The Majors will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe next February 17, when the premiere will take place Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania.
