The rumors about Domingo potentially replacing Major’s role started from writer and film insider Daniel Richtman. Marvel Studios is reportedly consideringEuphoria’s Emmy-winning star as areplacement for Kang the Conqueror. Domingo’s previous interview withAwardsWatchtwo years ago fueled the rumor when he was asked about being part of Marvel or DC’s cinematic universe. Domingo said he would jump in because he was already physically fit and wanted to play a villain. Domingo said:
I just want to be the villain. I don’t want to be the good guy. I actually want to do some really nasty, dirty work.
Many fans were sad whenMarvel Studios fired Majorsbecause he portrayed the role well. Several even said there was only one Kang for them, and the producers should have given Majors a chance and waited for his return following his conviction. However, that would further delay the production ofAvengers 5.
If fans were rooting for Majors for his acting prowess, the same could be said for Domingo. He has already received multiple awards and accolades for his nearly 30 years of acting career, including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series in 2022 and Imagen Foundation Awards for Best Supporting Actor - Television (Drama) for his role inEuphoriain 2021. Domingo is currently nominated for Best Actor for the 2024 Critics Choice Awards for his filmRustin. He already won the Spotlight Award from Palm Springs International Film Festival for the same role. Domingo has a credible and impressive track record as an actor. Thus, there is no doubt that he will be as good or evenbetter than Majors in portraying Kang the Conqueror.
Avengers 5is in development at Marvel Studios.
