That's a sticky situation because just doing a CGI face onto another actor... Majors would have a good argument to still get paid and be credited since that's technically his performance and they just put someone's face over his.
He has his first court date set for May 8th. I suspect Disney is going to wait it out a bit and see what happens going forward since they do have a lot invested in him - not just in the MCU, but Searchlight just bought the movie Magazine Dreams which he stars in and was considered an early favorite for Best Actor. Now Disney has a problem with that movie as well. I assume they'll simply dump it and it'll lose money, but they bought it at Sundance with hopes of winning major awards.
Well, except we saw about a million Kang's in Ant-Man 3 and they all looked like Majors lol. That's Kang's thing is that he's essentially the same person in every Universe.
Yeah, he has amazing range and I think Disney/Marvel was really counting on that when portraying the different Kang's because he could bring something new to each version while still have a charming, menacing and physically imposing nature to him. I have to think this is already being talked about in the halls of Marvel for if recasting is necessary (and imo it's looking like it will be), who do they go after?
If Loki has to be released with Majors in it then they have to do that. Kinda like how Ezra Miller can't be replaced as The Flash since the movie has been filmed for a long time. Sometimes things simply can't be changed and you need to ride it out. Release Loki S2, make a statement that that is the last project you have with Majors in the role and you had no choice but to release it due to how involved he was if it comes to this in terms of a potential recasting.
Yeah I dont think they need to refilm a whole TV series…that can still be enjoyed with context in the same way House of Cards, Silicon Valley, etc. can today.
Hot take: he wasn’t that great. He blended in with the rest of the bland, vanilla nothing that was Ant Man 3.
You’re certainly entitled to that opinion, but a majority of movie-goers would disagree with that, including myself. I thought he was a stand-out in a rather OK film.
Considering most Marvel projects are shot on The Volume lately, it may not be incredibly difficult either.
That’s what makes the take hot and spicy
You know, with how much of these movies are filmed on green screen, and with MCU scenes being filmed with characters that have never met before appearing right alongside each other, this is probably a more realistic option than ever.
