The last decade of Marvel movies has frequently been littered with moments of big star names accidentally revealing too much about upcoming MCU movies. However, while speaking on a live-streamed interview for Marvel.com, it was Kevin Feige who almost put his foot in it when he had to quickly stop talking before he revealed too much about the future of Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania received the usual spectacular premiere on Monday, and while speaking on the red carpet, Feige had to back-peddle when he almost joined the likes of Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo as one of those stars who couldn’t manage to hold a secret. Talking about the multiple roles of Jonathan Majors in the Marvel franchise, Feige said:

“We were casting that role for both Loki, He Who Remains, and Quantumania, and obviously, he shot He Who Remains first, and then [Ant-Man]. But you can see already, if viewers who saw him in Loki, saw him in the trailer for Quantumania, he is such a versatile actor, he’s getting a lot of great acclaim in numerous movies coming out around this time. And we’ve already—” Feige paused. “I almost gave you a big spoiler, but we’ve got lots of plans ahead for him in a great way.”
It seems that whatever big spoiler Feige almost dropped will remain a secret for a while longer. Still, it is not unfair to say that Jonathan Majors will appear in many other Marvel projects before the Multiverse Saga concludes with Avengers: Secret Wars; fans will just have to wait to see which ones.

While Josh Brolin made a number of small cameos as Thanos before his big Avengers: Infinity War appearance, Jonathan Majors will be a much more prominent figure in the MCU in the lead-up to Phase 6 movies Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. Speaking about taking on the role of the MCU’s new Big Bad, Majors previously explained it was playing multiple variants of the Kang that drew him to the role. He said:
“Yeah, absolutely. That’s what’s on the page. That’s what the IP says. I was cool, very cool. Kang just lives in his own world in the MCU. No spoilers here, but there’s so many variants of him. And with the powers that are the MCU, that intelligentsia and that brain trust there, they’re just really working to use the IP to its best ability, and it’s extremely humbling that they picked me to step into that. So I’m honored to do it, and I’m always excited to see what we’re doing. And yes, six years after Yale and ten years after North Carolina Shool of the Arts, my first drama school, it’s what you always hoped for as an actor. Kang is a career in itself. It’s either the cake itself or the cherry on top, I don’t know. But to play multiple versions, it’s just beautiful. It’s a workshop every day.”
