At the San Diego Comic-Con, Jonathan Majors took some time before sharing his thoughts on being the central super-villain of MCU. He said he wanted to do this since childhood. He said:

“It feels cool. You know, the whole thing is of cultural significance. And so, to be of titular significance, whatever that means, it’s humbling actually. You know, you just want to get to work, you just want to see the script and start, you know? Start and fail and mess up and you know, memorize the lines and do all the stuff I wanted to do since I was a little boy in Texas.”

Fans are definitely looking forward to seeing Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror in next year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
