One of the great unknowns in today’s Hollywood is guessing what Marvel is going to do with Kang after firing Jonathan Majors after being judged guilty of assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend. The actor was sentenced to attend an in-person domestic violence counseling course for one year in Los Angeles, which he is doing right now. However, That has not stopped him from already signing for his next film.
‘FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER’ shows that a more ADULT MCU is possible
No forgiveness
The filmmaker who has decided to give it a chance, as reported by Deadline, is Martin Villeneuve, Denis’ brother (yes, the director of ‘Dune’), who has decided that he is the perfect protagonist of ‘Merciless’. The film will follow a CIA investigator who discovers that the woman he loves is dominated by sinister forces, and is scheduled to begin filming in late fall in Saskatchewan, Canada. If what you are thinking is that coincides with the sentence that Majors must serve in person in Los Angelesyou are not the only one: how you will manage to roll and comply with it is anyone’s guess.
It is worth remembering that in the period of just one year, Majors lost both prestigious and mainstream roles right at the best moment of his career: ‘Creed III’ had earned him praise throughout the world and Marvel trusted him to grow until the sixth part of ‘The Avengers’. Besides, his manager and his advertising company let him gobut it seems that it was not enough to knock him down.
For his part, Villeneuve wants to convince us that we have to see ‘Merciless’ when it is released regardless of what we think of Majors because “weaves themes of possession, revenge and personal justice into an incredible narrative. It explores John’s psychological fall and the supernatural forces that challenge his sanity”. A priori it will arrive in 2025, and then We will see if the public has rejected the actor or he can continue with his career in a more or less natural way. although it never returns to the top lists.
