A known Marvel leaker offers an update on the status of Kang The Conqueror alleging John David Washington is now Marvel’s choice.
After Marvel terminated its relationship with Jonathan Majors the rumor mill went in overdrive on who could play Kang The Conqueror. Way before Majors was terminated rumors suggested Damson Idris could take over the job but nothing came from those rumors. Just last month Colman Domingo was linked to chatter involving the role. At the time it was alleged Marvel had contacted the actor but with any job, many things can go wrong and it simply does not happen. Domingo never confirmed he was contacted but expressed interest in playing a villain for the MCU. Popular Marvel leaker DanielRPK has offered that update featuring Domingo and is usually the first to break casting news.
According to Complex, he has offered another update on the role and a new name is in the running.
Allegedly John David Washington is now Marvel’s choice to play the multiverse villain. Taking the job would tie up any actor’s schedule for years, if not the rest of the decade. Also, Washington is a very in-demand actor but hopefully, they can find time then reach an agreement.
Playing a dozen different variations of the same character is a job only few can pull off and he is one of them.
