Marvel Studios would change plans for Phase 6 after Loki, you know?

Now the studio can have a bomb ready to go off in their hands!

From the end infinity saga, miracle studios began to remake his entire shared universe in order to prepare for a new story arc, which will Phases 4, 5 This 6. A multiverse sagawhat is it called, would pay great attention Kang the Conqueror and culminate in the release Avengers: Secret Wars… but that wasn’t always the plan.

Recently, Joanna Robinson participated in big pictureone podcast about culture popwhere he talked about how the plans Marvel changed after filming the second season Loki This Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania. Robinson is a famous writer Vanity Fairwhich gained notoriety through the publication of articles on miracle studios.

In later years she wrote a book MCU: Reign Marvel Studios, where she details the inner workings of the company, and is therefore a credible journalist with real sources. According to her, the plan of the studio changed when the executives saw the performance Jonathan Majors How Caen and its variants:

“Someone who works for Marvel told me that he never had any plans to make Kang the center of everything until they saw the Quantum Mania footage and his performance in Loki, which was so good that they thought: “Yes. It’s right. This is our way forward. We have lost our team of heroes, but we are going to do everything around Kang and his actor, who is loved by many people.”

It did phase 6 be reformulated to bring Caen in multiple projects where Majors plays multiple versions of the villain. However, Robinson claims that this put miracle studios is in a delicate position as the company has never relied so much on the “single talent” that runs its universe.

With the news of the arrest of Jonathan Majors being accused by the alleged girlfriend of domestic violence, everything points to Marvel is in bad shape and still needs to think about what to do in the future:

“I don’t think you or I are interested in saying what Marvel should or shouldn’t do in the future, but we know this is a big issue for them that they’re dealing with right now. And what’s unprecedented about this for Marvel is that they’ve never relied on a single actor as much as they did with Jonathan Majors after his roles in Loki and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania. I would say that it was more than [Robert] downey [Jr.] like iron man, more than with [Josh] Brolin with Thanos. This idea of ​​a guy appearing on every object and making everything revolve around him until the “Kang Dynasty” came along put them in a very unusual position. They are not as focused on one person as they are here.”

To further exacerbate the situation, the fact that Jonathan Majors was not noticed in a good way by either the public or the studio – as all the “evidence of the defense” increased distrust of the actor and gave rise to rumors of bad behavior before he was hired Marvel.

The decision to make Kang the center of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would put Marvel Studios in a difficult position.

Robinson ends up saying that he still doesn’t know which executives Marvel will be doing over the next few months and that you have already heard conflicting rumors about the fate Jonathan Majors in a franchise. However, the author claims that this is just a detail and that the studio may have a bigger problem:

“We don’t know what they’re going to do. I’ve heard some conflicting rumors about their casting, others that they’re not even considering firing him. But that’s just a detail.”

While Robinson doesn’t go into details about the grand plan Marvel before arrival Caen and the majors in the franchise, it’s highly likely that the studio was still thinking about doing something related to multiverse – however, possibly without the Conqueror as the main villain.

Now miracle studios it has already been announced that the next films Avengers – Kang dynasty This secret wars – will be heavily focused on the time traveler, and this could lead to problems if Major is indeed charged with his alleged crimes. With the actor’s future still hanging in the balance, it could be that we see another wave of delays and reschedules as the studio finds alternatives to replace him.
