Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Director Peyton Reed praises Kang actor Jonathan Majors and compares him to a Hollywood legend.
Last year, Jonathan Majors made his big debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Kang the Conqueror in the Disney Plus series, Loki. Before that, however, it was revealed that Majors had been cast as Kang for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Currently, it is unknown what role the actor will play in the upcoming film.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Director Peyton Reed spoke about Jonathan Majors and had nothing but good things to say about the Kang actor. Specifically, he compared Majors to a young version of Marlin Brando:
“It’s become a cliché over the decades to compare someone to a young Marlon Brando, but Jonathan has that. He just has that energy and that presence, and our film definitely benefits from that.
Who was Marlon Brando?
Marlon Brando was a screen legend who is perhaps best remembered for his role in The Godfather for which he won an Oscar. He also won another for At the water’s edge and was nominated several times during the first half of his career. Over time, however, the actor grew increasingly eccentric and gained a reputation for being difficult to work with.
Ant-Man and the Wasp last appeared in Avengers: Endgame. Here is the synopsis of the film:
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the ranks of the Avengers forces the remaining Avengers to take a final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, “Avengers: Endgame”.
