Jonathan Majors, who is currently causing quite the conversation regarding his excellent performance as Atticus Freeman in HBO’s Lovecraft Country, is heading to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On Monday, it was reported that Majors has been cast in a major role in the next Ant-Man movie. Not only will Majors be joining the cast but he’ll play the big bad, Kang the Conqueror.
This confirms one of the first Fox properties that will be used in the MCU. Back in 2017, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn noted that 20th Century Fox-owned the movie rights for Kang the Conquerer.
The first Ant-Man arrived in 2015, with a sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, out in 2018. While there is little known about the plot thus far, there were reports of a 2022 scheduled release. Paul Rudd is expected to return as Ant-Man, aka Scott Lang.
