Disney and Marvel Studios have parted ways with, as the former Kang the Conqueror actor will no longer be reprising his role after being found guilty of assault and harassment. The actor’s ousting from the franchise leaves the future of the MCU in question, with many wondering if Kang will be recast or if a new villain will be introduced. This has caused many actors’ names to be thrown into the conversation, as fans speculate if the likes of John Boyega, Damson Idris, or another actor will now join the MCU in Majors’ wake.

A highly popular choice among fans to play Kang in the MCU is Star Wars actor John Boyega.

He has previously expressed an interest in joining the MCU, telling Nerd Reactor that he’d accept an offer to join the Fantastic Four cast as Reed Richards.
This one’s out of left field, but Will Smith’s name has been bandied about for the MCU for years now. Back in 2021,Giant Freakin’ Robot reported that Smith was in talks with Disney and Marvel, and that he wanted to be a major player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward. Since then there has been no word on Smith joining the MCU, and the actor’s controversial actions at the 94th Academy Awards may have harmed his bargaining power with Marvel and Feige. However, assuming the role of the MCU’s key villain would make him a major part of the
