It’s a hard no from me regarding bringing back Thanos.

I'm tired of hearing Kang is gone. What happened to being innocent until proven guilty? Majors isn't guilty of anything yet so why not wait and see before throwing him under the bus?

“Only I can play Kang” sounds like something Kang would say! Are we sure Jonathan Majors isn’t a Kang variant?

Imagine being called toxic for trying to write job security into your contract 💀 that’s a wild take Screen Crush

How would that be toxic? Sounds like an extremely smart business decision.

I love this channel, but it seems like you’re really committed to push this narrative about JM without any actual knowledge of the situation. Let’s just wait until the court case is resolved before we label the guy a toxic abuser.

Am I the only one who doesn’t think it’s weird to request you’re the only one who can play Kang? To me it sounds like a safe business move knowing how often Marvel changes things around and can essentially leave you powerless to their constantly changing storylines. Just seemed like job security to me

Majors trial is actually about to start soon. Not sure when this episode was filmed. So hopefully we will have some clarity soon

Marvel confirmed Kang is still in the MCU, no changes.

Just a quick recap of the trial though 2 days: The judge is not allowing the accuser to be referred to as victim, her arrest can be referenced during cross examination and the sealed documents remained sealed despite the hit piece article written by vanity fair. The defense is asking to cross examine these exes. It's easy to pile on when things look bad so I'm reserving judgement on them. The Jury has been selected, proceedings begin in earnest on Monday. Combined with the video evidence that has been released to the public, Majors will most likely prevail unless new evidence comes into play. If Disney were to pivot it would be the opportune time. Just one thing though. Disney torched the Pirates franchise rushing to condemn Johnny Depp, and that was under Bob Iger. I don't think they are looking for a repeat of that scenario hence them being quiet on the subject so far. Lets all try and remember it's innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. And believe the facts, Don't automatically accept an allegation as truth due to gender(Believe all women or men). They should bring back Ultron anyway, regardless of Kang or Doom imo

Didnt a few days ago he won majorly in the start of his case? All older incidents cant be used against him and it was allowed to let the jury know that the ex gf was charged with physical assault

The more I learn about Majors' case, the less I think he will be getting replaced.

Out goes “Innocent until proven guilty”. The YT community has been dragging Majors since the alleged incident. Let the man have his day in court sheesh

Was this episode recorded before the announcement of Michael Waldron writing Kang Dynasty?

Kinda wild you put this out. I remember Johnny Depp being labeled super toxic and getting dumped by Disney, then the court case happened……

you been pushing for majors to be replaced pretty hard man...

I thought Kang was good I think Jonathan did a good job

“Always say less than necessary.” I feel like the big problem with Kang is that they revealed too much of him all at once, and there was nothing seductive or enigmatic about his storyline/character development. This is far different from Thanos, who made brief and powerful appearances. I remember from the early phases you’d be hooked into content like this because Marvel left a lot to the imagination of the audience, it definitely doesn’t feel like that anymore.

Just keep Majors, get better writers and make a Kang movie havhim kick the crap out of the Avengers and at the last second one of his variant betray the others and save the day and then move on to Dr Doom.

Wouldn’t make much sense for this saga but, we need a full Ultron era

I personally enjoyed Antman 3. I agree that the ending was a let down but Marvel could make that ending better by showing what happens after he is sucked through that time portal. If Marvel could show Kang coming out of that portal and wind up in like the X- universe or 616 or something then it would make Antman 3 better.

Having you be the only person convey the likeness of a character that’s going to be seen a multitude of time isn’t toxic to me. It exudes a desire for perfection and continuity with the character, we’ve been saying Majors’s portrayal is great but imagine how toxic fans would be to whoever they had playing his other variants who I doubt would do it like him. Technically it can be explained as him being a nexus being.

i love jonathan majors as kang, especially having different personalities in the movies, just let him finish kang dynasty then find a good way to introduce dr doom. there are a lot of time and movies/series yet to come out that marvel/disney can slowly culminate in the kang dynasty and introduce dr doom. this is a good thing for marvel/disney to make quality movies/series because they can be creative on how to end kang slowly until kang dynasty while also introducing dr doom.

Call me crazy but didn't the ex actually get charged with battery against him? Why is everyone so adamant about getting Kang out. Especially after there's been more evidence that he's probably not guilty.

Not sure what has changed over the past 5 days, or when this video was created, but it’s been confirmed Michael Waldron (Loki writer) has been hired to pen Kang Dynasty. The rumors of Doom being introduced along with Kang are also floating around.

Kang isn’t going anywhere… I love you screen crush but I don’t understand why you guys are pushing this narrative.

Jonathan majors owns this role, i don't think anybody will be able to fill the void if marvel decides to re cast kang.

So the fact that he wanted a clause in his contract that said he will be the only actor to play Kang is a bad thing? Do you realize how many actors have crazy clauses in their contracts?? Say what you want about the case Jonathan Majors has done an amazing job as kang and is an amazing actor and deserves those type of stipulations in his contract. I disagree with the recast and honestly think Marvel should just wait it out. We don’t even need to compare him to Ezra miller and people saw the flash.. time to put the pr team in action we have come to a time where we have to be really careful about just being quick to make rash devious whenever allegations come up.

I think that some people heard about a clause in Jonathan Major's contract and misunderstood what it meant. Rather than giving Majors an absolute right to play any version of Kang the Conqueror, I think the clause instead gave Marvel the right to have Majors play any variant of Kang. Majors was an up-and-coming actor, but he was never such a huge star that it makes sense he would be able to negotiate a clause that prevented anyone else from playing Kang. But even if he had such a clause, I think it would make a lot more sense for Marvel to buy him out of that contract than to just abandon the Kang character altogether. Again, Majors did not have the negotiation leverage of Robert Downey, Jr. He was never going to earn $50 million for playing Kang. Recast Kang, but agree to pay out his contract anyway, or if necessary, add on an extra $5 or $10 million, but get the Kang rights back. That would make far more sense.

If they replace Kang I'm done with all things Marvel, me and my family, I see no reason for me to invest the time money and energy to be let down AGAIN by marvel And to add to that point they CANT WRITE GOOD BLACK CHARACTERS to save their lives and that's important if they want me to spend my hard earned money to see anything else they put out

Even with the recent failures and terrible decisions of Disney lately, I still have faith that they will make the right decision with Majors and decide based on the trial outcome. They ended Loki with a way to go either direction and we are now on a hiatus before we can expect to see him again too. So there’s time to continue with or without hin

I see a bunch of comments saying that they should still just recast him. I'm inclined to believe the rumors about the clause in his contract. I'm also inclined to think that maybe Majors himself didn't ask for it. It's something that either has agent asked for or it's something Marvel could have included in the contract to make sure they always had majors at their disposal to play the character. Making it so Majors couldn't back out. But contracts work both ways.

That guy just described what if season 1 Ultron and thought we wouldn't notice😭

I’m a casual MCU fan and even I know it’s bad writing / overkill is the problem . Not Kang , Majors is an incredible actor and Marvel writers need to do the Kang role justice , stop under powering him . Also as a retired LEO , Disney can make Majors “ legal troubles “ go away . I’ve seen average joes who had as much witness & video evidence as Major has that’s backing his story , the case gets dismissed. Versus just her words & story . Prosecution and the justice system is violating Majors constitutional right to a speedy trial . When prosecution waits & delays , they have nothing period . And waiting for a witness to mess up legally and hold that over them to help their case against Majors . It’s all a sham , if this court case gets delayed again .

I've been watching your channel for years. But sometimes you really put out some weird videos. Unless Kang is convicted, there's no way they're getting rid of Majors, because it would still make no sense & they'd really have to twist themselves to explain why the main driving force of the multiverse is gone & pass his motivations onto someone else. Saying Kang has been written out is thinking about it for 2 seconds and thinking the very shallow explanation does the trick. And directors, etc. getting shuffled aren't completely surprising. In fact, makes sense that Marvel is serious about correcting some issues by having one writer & one director for both Avengers movies. Besides, the latest reports say Kang Dynasty is still happening. So unless Majors' convicted, stop clickbaiting every 2 seconds & coming up with weird ideas that would honestly be terrible. Thanos? Ultron? 🤦🏻

I Stand with Jonathan Majors. Jonathan Majors as Kang.

SMH stop pushing this narrative the case is still pending and those conclusion u have drawn is to fit your narrative smh

Wow screencrush this video changed of my perspective of this channel

If I remember correctly, cola drinks had coca leaf extract in them, but I don't think chocolate did.

They should really go through with him i mean Ezra Miller has done far worse and they stuck it up. Majors really said in real life that he is also he who remains.

Kang will return.....Majors just got a big win in day 2 of the trial....on the 4th the jurors come back to make opening statements and its expected to wrap up in 2 wks.......youre innocent until proven guilty.....and you cant cancel Kang!!

So awesome you watch weekly planet! You and them are my primary entertainment news

That clip of Thor with the wind in his hair then being seated in Dr Strange's chair was perfect for the ad, well done, editor

Steve Rogers returned the soul stone to a branch timeline, the red skull of the sacred timeline was freed when Thanos sacrificed Gamora. Also it doesn't matter much since the universe Natasha died in is the same as the one the power stone was taken from, that universe has lost its Thanos and his entire army since they went to the main timeline and died there. The TVA has definitely pruned that timeline just like they did with the 2012 one which Loki escaped from.

I'd really like to see a live-action of What If Ultron-Vision played by the same actor who voiced him in the animated show.

I love did you know Doug at the end of videos. Please let that be a thing!

A differebt actor played a young Victor Timely in Loki season 2. He didn't do much, but casting that role would have been a nightmare if there was a clause in his contract forbidding any other actor from playing a Kang variant.

Cmon now that "toxic person" comment is just stupid, and you know it. Any smart actor would try to look out for their own skin, especially in Hollywood where everyone get's fucked over based on any silly little thing.

I feel like everyone is going in the direction of dump Kang and bring someone else in. However, if I were in Marvel's position I'd be waiting this all out until there is definitive proof to consider the extreme option of dumping a character I've set up and then pluck other baddies in to satiate the fans. Kang was given the set up he needs to be the big threat he is and he "paved the road" (literally) , for this set up. Marvel actually has the wiggle room and time to see this through and possibly continue on the course it currently is on. It's also a bit disingenuous to chuck up Kang as a poor villain based on the performance of Quantumania and thwn use that as justification to dump him. Kang was actually a very serious threat that was nerfed by the circumstances he was in while inside the Quantum realm. Johnathan Majors' performance also carried a big chunk of the film. Kang "dying" is actually par the course for what happens in the comics. Another variant, deadlier than the last, can come in to fill the void... or there's always that theory that Kang didn't die but was sent somewhere else outside the quantum realm, somewhere the council of Kangs cannot detect him so they interpreted him as being dead.

lmao that coco outro was gold. doug and hecklefish need a buddy cop comedy

Crazy how all this new information favoring majors side is out but you haven’t covered anything! And you guys tend to be one of the quick ones

How did Dr. Doom become a doctor? I thought he got kicked out of college. Shouldn’t he be Mr. Doom and Mr. Freeze should be Dr.Freeze?

What villain should replace Kang?

Great suggestion!

The Maker. Like there are literally two Mr. Fantastics in existence, and I honestly think that Miles Teller could be THE Maker. I mean, his character was literally based off of the variant of Reed that became the Maker, and Secret Wars (2015) had him as the secondary antagonist--so why not commit full way? In some way, it'll give Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards something to be wary off in his run as Mr. Fantastic--kinda like the burden of knowing that while he's the only one that can restore the multiverse (kinda like what happened in Hickman's Secret Wars), he's also the one that can fuck it up HARD.

They better make a variant of Kang. Do not abandon the story! The multiverse is the best excuse as to why he looks different.

With all of the footage out after the alleged assault showing her approaching him on the street, in the club partying and the apartment manager letting him in the apartment the next morning and he called for help?

Loved to see some different faces in this video, great discussion, really makes you think and appreciate characters like Thanos, Killmonger, High Evolutionary, White Vision, etc. I personally love the White Vision idea!

Why not Hydra Captain America? They wanna bring him back too xD

I love your content but dude no offense as someone who’s been in a jury trial, we should wait for all facts to be present before even considering on what to do. If anything a video like this just makes it feel like you have made your mind before the 12 people who WILL SEE ALL THE FACTS have.

Why is it all these big content channels all of sudden want to replace Majors before the trial has even concluded? It almost like your all being paid to push Kang to the side or something. Just saying coming as someone who stood in front of that jury of 12 people before; it does break my heart seeing society judge people in general at trial before all facts are shown.

I love your idea about Red Skull

I never thought he "got beat up by ant-man," I thought it was a ruse that ended with ant-man trapped in a time loop of his own, where he was allowed to think he won. Also, that would have all been revealed later in a different show or movie after credits.

Something I never thought of but I wouldn't mind seeing isn't necessarily the confrontation between Steve Rogers and Red Skull when returning the Soul Stone, but Steve Rogers finding Natasha's body. What if we got that scene? 😮

He was arrested for assaulting his girl? U mean Alledgedly? And kang was the best part of quantumania! If that’s the case it’s like saying kamala khan is the reason the marvels is underperforming! Ryan you fos right now dude! All that talk about majors isn’t even substantiated and we don’t know if anything can be used in court! Plus it’s not against the law to be an asshole! Robert Downey JR was a huge issue on many sets but he’s a great actor… just like JM Kang isn’t going anywhere they already have a new writer MICHEAL WALDRON!! You tripping 🤡

Not me shedding a single tear over both the character Kang and the actor Majors potentially being moved on from in the MCU. Haaaated the ham handed, stuttering, 'this is how awkward people act like, right?' depiction of Victor Timely. And if I never have to see a single second more of Rama Tut or any other of the absolutely absurd Council of Kangs variants I will feel blessed. I'm sure they work in print, but good gawd they were ridiculous to watch the whole 2 minutes they had screen time in Ant Man 3*. In conclusion, not even taking into consideration Majors' current legal involvement, I am all on board with Marvel letting the Kang ship continue to sail away, far far away.

Awesome transition to talking about your air freshener sponsor.

I love the Red Skull idea...would be a great connection to the past

Honestly if crappy actors like Ezra Miller can still be the Flash then I’m fine with Majors staying Kang. Most of Hollywood is fucked up anyways.

Impressive how you impersonate doug impersonating a mini doug.. I mean Doug is really good at impersonating his miniature self!

What a great thought about Vision. Definitely could be another path to get Ultron back and Jocasta is likely on the horizon. With Ms. Minutes in the mix that’s a supervillain team that would be tough to beat.

Ryan, I usually enjoy this channel, but I must say I am a bit disappointed in the video. It seems as if you have already made a determination in your mind about Majors. Also, they way you have the dog make little comments about Majors is a bit telling. I would think you would know more about how Hollywood contracts work. Actors/actresses have all kinds of clauses in their contracts. Queen Latifah has a clause where she doesn't die in a movie so that she doesn't get cut out on the sequel. Do you think Tom Cruise doesn't have various clauses that give him control or a upper hand in a franchise? I would think a person who covers movies and Hollywood as much as you do would have a little bit of knowledge about something like this. As Doug the dog commented about that being something a toxic person would do, that's business. I don't see anyone commenting on how Downey got a absurd amount of money worked into his contract for the films. People praised it as a smart power play.

Personally, I liked the adaptation to snarky Ultron. The scene you referenced really highlights why. As a character, Ultron has an unusual Oedipus-esque complex centered around his creator. Even though it was a cheesy omlet joke, it still resonates with what this character would be like if RDJ's Tony Stark helped invent him rather than a Hank Pym. He even admits to coming up with the same joke to Thor. More importantly, however, Ultron isn't Ultron until he COMES BACK. Honestly, he's a great choice that I hope they have plans for.

“Breath person we have trained for this 😳” lmao love it

You have to say it’s from their segment “Hot Scoop or Shot of Poop”

Dude the heavy anti-JM undertones are NOT the vibe, the trial’s JUST started and if you look at the evidence that’s been public he looks innocent. You’re really pushing to have JM/Kang dropped and I really hope you don’t have enough influence to sway opinion in Marvel’s direction here. Even if Kang hasn’t had the best start, commit to it and finish strong instead of dumping it and getting disjointed stories AGAIN like everyone was complaining about phase 4.

Christ accusing him of being toxic because “more have come forward” yeah that’s cause they saw a chance for money lmao nerds😂😅

Just introduce Doom in Fantastic 4, make him a villain instead of Galactus and then have him show up in Secret Wars. Done.

2:00 it is a great podcast! Also I think that was the segment hot scoop or a shot of poop, and you didn't introduce it correctly as stipulated by the hot scoop or shot of poop doctrine.

Stop the stupidity please, he’s innocent until proven guilty. Plus, that girl was arrested for assault and domestic violence as well. If Marvel wanted to get rid of him they wouldn’t have waited this long.

What if the new God Loki is corrupted and he is the new multiversal villain?

16:07 Hahaha, I had to go hunting for that James Spader clip from a Halloween episode of The Office. Damn that was good.

The two Doug's are hilarious! When he called the fake one a stupid idiot 😂😂😂

no one here, so far has mentioned Galactus

What about Mephisto?🤔

Oh sweet! What a great surprise to see Whitney again on ScreenCrush!

Screen Crush citing The Weekly Planet has all the spider-man pointing meme vibes

And Wendy, you tripping about that Victor Timey. JONATHAN KILLED that role

They shouldn’t switch the villain. They should just recast Majors and get better writing for Kang.

I hope Dr Doom becomes an enemy in the Avengers Secret War which aims to destroy the TVA and Yanggrasil timelines created by Loki and tries to take the How Remain power from Loki to create a new timeline.

Do you think that spot where it looks like mobius is frozen is just a stitch from an old shoot to a reshoot of the end of Loki?

Bring in Doom💯

I'm still hoping that they recast him, but will see, but if they want to introduce a new big bad, but with out using Dr.Doom for the multivers maybe something that the council of kang are affraid it would be the Beyonder and adapt the old Secret Wars (in wich it was the first marvel universe crossover before the Infinity quest) that involved the beyonder who want to know which from the hero and light side or the villain and the darkside win (like animated series of Too sandwich that i recomand you), we could still keep the Caméo Armageddon from the modern comics adaptation of Secret Wars but without the God emperor Doom just Beyonder or in the first part of the Avengers movie we setup the beyonder and then in the second part we see Dr.Doom in his God emperor form or maybe he join the side of the Beyonder to later betray him to take his place or power, but the key would be the Fantastc Four movie in wich i hope they use the Molecule Man has first Antagonists to proper setup the Multivers saga

If we are being honest here there is a simple solution to the problem and easily could be how Disney thinks of this whole thing: If Majors is found guilty of his crimes then there has to be something in the contract that says they can fire him and recast him as someone else, I find it extremely difficult to believe they wouldn’t include some type of “out” in protection of the company. (I really liked your idea of having Denzel’s kid replace him as he could give a unique spin on the character) ***BUT*** If he is innocent then keep Majors. Not just because he’s a good actor but because he’s your villain and with the public perception of him being an evil man will work to Disney’s advantage. Ultimately there will be those that don’t like him regardless of the outcome so don’t fear what can be a net-positive selling your story. That being said if they did want to transition to Doom, the way I would do it is have him be a shadow figure for the Kang Dynasty. Finding out that he’s the one who helped Kang and gave him the power to win would make him a huge threat and by the end you could have Doom erase Kang and reveal that his goal was to let Kang eliminate the weak so that he could rule over the prime versions of each hero, creating the footsteps to his god emperor throne at the end of the movie, showing that he’s in the process of creating battle world. We don’t need a Doom origin for this one, EVERYONE knows doom, literally don’t even show his face. show him being the dominant force he is and have him be the build up to the secret wars with a Fantastic 4 movie in between to show his origin instead of the f4 for the 3rd time. After secret wars they can go on to the huge cosmic and mystical entities, justifying that since they are all omega level beings that they either got free from their prisons because of Doom or they know what Doom did so they want to blow up earth to prevent another entity from destroying everything.

I've wanted Red Skull back, too! Would be great to see him, Dormammu, or Ultron. Love me some Doom but agree that he would be a more interesting background built up over time and debuted in full with the F4.

Wasn’t ever a fan. Going from Thanos to Kang was underwhelming.

intro video selection 👌👌👌

Maybe I’m mixing it up with all the cartoons but I feel like the red skull has been shoved down my throat . But you got me when you said it would allow us to reconnect to phase 1

Dr doom building a bridge to different universes that ends up causing a incursion would be awesome
