Jonathan Majors’ career is in full swing. He has not only entered a new level with the release of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’, but he has just released ‘Creed III’. Majors has played Kang the Conqueror, the new villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the cosmic level of Thanos, and its arc will extend to at least ‘<\/strong>The Avengers: The Kang Dynasty<\/strong>‘ from 2025, but he could very nearly not be in the MCU at all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A wait that almost broke relations<\/h2>\n

During the presentation tour of the new film, Majors revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that his career at Marvel could have been over before it began<\/strong> after deciding to leave his first big meeting with the studio.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope this doesn’t spit me back, but I did bail out of my general meeting with Marvel. This was a long time ago. I had just come out of drama school and was looking for a life, so I ended up sitting in the office. I have grown in a very particular way and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. So I went in there and they were busy. And I was like ‘They were supposed to have called me, right?’ but the wait did not end and I said: ‘I’m leaving. Brilliant. I’ll just go away’\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But fate wanted him to have an important role in the MCU<\/strong>because Majors left the meeting, but did not make it out of the building.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to the door, but then they said casting director Sarah Finn was coming. We entered the room and chatted. We were having a great conversation, but I think it was three years later that we had the Kang talk. And there’s no fear anymore, especially because of who Kang is. When I said yes, we had the full picture and what’s being presented is cohesive.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
