Jonathan Majors’\u00a0Kang was meant to be the next overarching big bad in the MCU\u00a0following the defeat of Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. The actor played major roles in the Loki\u00a0TV series and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania\u00a0in preparation for him to take center stage in\u00a0Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. However, things changed drastically when Majors was found guilty<\/a> of reckless assault\u00a0and harassment. Immediately after the verdict, the actor\u00a0was fired<\/a> as Kang, and Marvel Studios shifted gears, turning to Robert Downey Jr.’s Dr. Doom as the next main villain of\u00a0the franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite having been fired by the studio, Majors just made a very\u00a0unexpected\u00a0move by\u00a0dressing up as Blade for Halloween. As seen in the pictures below, the Magazine Dreams actor\u00a0attended a party dressed as the Daywalker from Wesley Snipes’ Blade films. He was\u00a0accompanied by his wife, Meagan Good, who was dressed up as another prominent\u00a0Marvel character:\u00a0X-Men’s Storm:<\/p>\n

Given his history with the House of Ideas, it comes as a significant\u00a0surprise that\u00a0Majors would\u00a0dress up as a\u00a0Marvel character\u2014especially one as popular\u00a0as Blade\u2014due to\u00a0the potential coverage\u00a0it could receive. Having said that, the actor has been quite vocal about his desire\u00a0to\u00a0return\u00a0to the MCU.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to Variety<\/a> in March 2025, Majors revealed he had sent a letter to Kevin Feige after his firing:\u00a0“I wrote a letter to him. Not recently, [but] not too far in the past. I just want to clear the record, yeah it sucks. It sucks, right? Like,\u00a0‘boom,’ you get the verdict, then, ‘boom’\u00a0[you’re dropped], but Marvel’s not mishandling anything by it coming through the grapevine. I got the job through the grapevine. […] So, I reached out to Kevin.”<\/p>\n

When asked why he sent the letter, Majors said: “I just appreciate him. I just love him. I loved my time at Marvel, and I still love Kang. I’m watching them. I see what they’re doing and I\u2019m pulling for them. If they need me, they know where I’m at.”<\/p>\n

Around that same time, during an appearance on The Breakfast Club<\/a> podcast, Majors seemed very optimistic about returning to the MCU as the time-traveling villain (at the 35:40\u00a0mark):\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Here’s the thing about Marvel: You don’t know until you know.\u00a0I will say this, though: Of all the characters I’ve played, Kang carries a certain novelty, and a certain challenge for an actor that I would love to play it again.\u00a0And so, when I hear people talk\u00a0about it, as long as the streets are talking, as long as the fans are talking, there’s hope.”<\/p>\n

More recently, when interviewed by The U.S. Sun<\/a>, Majors was asked about rumors of him stepping back into Kang’s boots. He replied: “I cannot say anything about that.” The Sun then asked him if there could be a Kang project for him to star in, to which he answered, “Well, it’s the multiverse, so, there’s always that.” When told people would be excited to see him back, Majors stated: “I’m glad to hear that.”<\/p>\n
