Jonathan Majors was at the top of his game when the actor was brought low by accusations of domestic violence from his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The actor was the subject of a very public trial and was convicted by the court of law on two of the four counts that he was accused of.

This led to the actor’s immediate expulsion from his role as the chief antagonist of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga.While the case against theCreedstar seemed pretty concrete, there are some, like Katt Williams, who believe that there was something a little more sinister afoot.

Katt Williams believed that Jonathan Majors might have been set up

Katt Williams, speaking on theClub Shay Shaypodcast, revealed that he believed Majors’ takedown might have been due to genuine issues that the actor had been a part of, but it was systematic and engineered nonetheless. He said:

You could be Kang the Conqueror, and they could take your rabbit a** down in two weekends. And that’s the truth of the matter, so I stayed away from them.

While discussing the state of the industry in general with relation to cancel culture, the comedian had some choice words to say, especially about the ordeal that Majors found himself in. He further said:

Maybe I’m a conspiracy theorist, but I thought that Katt Williams said, ‘[ Anytime they make you into that position, part of that contract is, you do understand whenever we want to take you down we can. right?’ They went around the world for two years straight telling any women that would listen that this was a good-looking n****.Since when? Since when did y’all start liking the big nose? When did y’all like the little head, the big jaw? When? Since when? That looks like my daddy. When did y’all start liking my daddy? You like black people’s features like that? If this ugly n**** is good-looking, then all n****s is good-looking. Anytime you see them telling you something you don’t believe, understand that it’s a play. Get out of here. Get out of here, ugly boy.

Katt Williamswas of the opinion thatJonathan Majors‘ success was part of Marvel’s marketing gimmick to build up the actor to be what he was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, this comes with the caveat that big studios can wash out stars that they don’t like or don’t think can work out.

Why did Marvel not recast Kang the Conqueror?

When Jonathan Majors received his conviction from the court, Marvel immediately dropped the actor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This led to a lot of fans wondering who would take up the mantle of Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the Studio decided to change the chief antagonist of the Saga completely, introducing Doctor Doom, who will be played by Robert Downey Jr.

While it would have been easier to work with a recast Kang, the character failed to make a dent with audiences the same way that Thanos did, so when Jonathan Majors was removed from the MCU, it made sense to pivot to a character who would be better received by the audiences. Doctor Doom is a villain who has been immensely popular with audiences and further, an actor like Robert Downey Jr. could definitely carry the role into the upcomingAvengersfilms.
