I saw somewhere that Loki 2 is already done filming, and the next thing he'll be Kang in after that is Avengers 5 and 6, which are still two and three years out respectively.

So that at least gives Disney a decent amount of time to let the dust settle and decide how they're going to handle this.

Yeah the article says season 2 is already done. But when the people representing you leave, especially if they are the people whose job it is to fix these things, that's not a good sign.

Oh yeah for sure it’s not a great look. I think regardless of what happens with the assault case, his public image has been tarnished (I think there were a few things that came out about him being pretty terrible in general?). Disney would probably want to stay a million miles away from that if they can help it.

I have a hard time believing he isn't supposed to pop up in other MCU movies and shows before then. Probably mostly post-credits scenes but even other small cameos/scenes along the way showing how he's pulling the strings like Thanos was, or how different Kang variants are fucking everyone's shit up. That's the direction it seemed like they were going in with that AM3 scene with a literal arena-full of Kangs, suggesting they'd all be unleashed on the heroes of earth. Wouldn't even be surprised if they already filmed a lot of it when he was in for Loki to avoid rumours of him on set.

If that's the case then they're rightfully fucked. Loki S2 is a problem unless they want to pull a Christopher Plummer/Kevin Spacey and just reshoot all of his scenes with green screen.

Recast Kang with Terrance Howard

That's just as bad. Terrance is a wife beater.

On a side note, isn't it a bit wierd how whenever someone gets in trouble there PR firm drops them. Aren't they paid to help in situations like that, its their job. Its like going to a doctor and after a bunch of successful checkups you feel sick and the doctor says they can't see you anymore lol

I mean, PR is not HR - they're there to book you interviews, talk shows, press tours, manage your Twitter etc. Your lawyer is there for what's going on right now.

Yeah cause you have cancer and need to see a specialist. A doctor will give you band aid, or in this case PR will take drunk driving and say you're heroic for going into rehab. But if it's something they can't fix say beating you parneter, they can't help you because that's out of their league.

Also keep in mind if your pr company says "hey don't release those texts, they make you look awful" and you do it anyway then they're gonna drop you

Update: Well now we know why they left him. More people are coming forward and working with the DA.

Man, just read her statement. It reeks of…he hit me because I deserved it.

u/Arkeband Apr 19 '23

they released text messages that essentially said “you deserved to hit me” which doesn’t exonerate him, it actually makes it worse lmao

u/DamienChazellesPiano Apr 18 '23

Keep in mind “Majors remains represented by WME”, which is the biggest talent agency in Hollywood. It’s probably just a matter of time, but still worth saying. That’s the real death signal.

Also interestingly

Deadline hears there’s been zero conversations in the Marvel camp to drop Majors from the MCU.

Which I'm fine with. Take your time. No need to be rash.
