Jonathan Majors

The studio has also been put in a difficult predicament by the legal problems for star Jonathan Majors.

The actor had played villain Kang the Conqueror in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' but was dropped by the studio after being found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in December 2023.

Marvel have been left with the dilemma of either scrapping their plans for the villain or recasting the role - which could be confusing for audiences.
