Washington [US], February 11 : Actor Colman Domingo reacted to the rumours that he was set to replace Jonathan Majors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and take over the role of Kang the Conqueror, reported Deadline.
Kang the Conqueror (Nathaniel Richards) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
There was a buzz going around about Domingo possibly joining the MCU, due to which the actor met with Marvel Studios to find out if any rumours were true.
"I think there had been conversations of me coming to Marvel in some way," Domingo told Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. "So we [Domingo and his PR team] did follow up with a sit-down meeting with the heads of Marvel. So we did do that, and we talked openly about the landscape of Marvel or even the Kang rumours," reported Deadline.
He continued, "But I feel like I want a role to be mine, whatever that role is, whatever I develop. Something didn't feel right of me, like, 'Oh, would I replace someone?' No, I want to build something from the ground up that's my own," as per the outlet.
Domingo shared that he was not aware if he was discussed to take over the role of Kang but was open to working with Marvel on something.
"I feel like that was never a conversation from my point of view if I was discussed [to take over Kang]," said the actor, adding, "I still don't know if I was discussed, but I just know that I would want to build something up from the ground up. So, there's still talks," as per Deadline.
