Jonathan Majors is officially set to return as Kang the Conqueror in season 2 of Loki. A new article covering his trial revealed exactly how many episodes of the Disney Plus series he’ll appear in.
Ever since Jonathan Majors’ arrest for assault and harassment back in March, fans have been wondering how Marvel and Disney would respond regarding his role as Kang the Conqueror in the upcoming season 2 of Loki on Disney Plus. The answer seems to be “not much,” as a new report suggests Majors is still set to appear in “about half” of the season’s episodes.
Despite Jonathan Majors still being set to appear in Loki season 2, it’s currently unclear if Disney will recast Kang the Conqueror for any projects beyond the Disney Plus series, likely waiting to see how the trial pans out before making a decision. Given the character’s integral role in the ongoing Multiverse Saga, it’ll be interesting to see which direction Disney takes.
