Jonathan Majors expressed his heartbreak over losing the role of Kang the Conqueror to Robert Downey Jr., who was announced as the new Doctor Doom at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con. Majors, who was removed from the Marvel franchise after being convicted of assault in December 2023, stated he would love to reprise his role if fans and Marvel desire it. He reflected on the differing receptions to his and Downey's past legal troubles, acknowledging that Downey has been granted more opportunities. Despite his disappointment, Majors continues to support the franchise and his character, saying, 'If that’s what the fans want, and that’s what Marvel wants then let’s roll.' Meanwhile, the film initially titled 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty' has been renamed 'Avengers: Doomsday.' Majors remains hopeful for a return to the Marvel Universe in the future.
