By Emmy-winning acting veteran Colman Domingo is having a moment right now with an acclaimed turn in “Rustin” and another role in the recent “The Color Purple”.
The “Euphoria” star however found himself under a whole new spotlight in the past few days after a rumor emerged (via Daniel RPK) claiming he’s a contender to take over the Kang the Conqueror role at Marvel Studios.
Jonathan Majors of course played various incarnations of the character in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Loki”. Majors was fired from the role last month within hours of being found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment.
Since his exit, many have wondered if Marvel were going to drop the Kang character altogether or simply recast. Talking with ET Online, the 54-year-old Domingo revealed he’s aware of the recast speculation but isn’t certain how much is true, but is grateful for the consideration:
“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.”
Just what will happen with Kang is deeply unclear right now, especially in the wake of Disney pushing back various Marvel films to 2025 and tipped to be retooling them.
