Jonathan Majors

It would probably be an understatement to note that Jonathan Majors is having a moment; better, probably, to say that he's having the moment—the point where ...

We got in the room and we chatted. And I was like, “I’m supposed to be here, right?” It got long and I went, “I’m just going to go. I’ll just go.” And I got to the door, but then they said [casting director] Sarah Finn was going to come. I had just gotten out of drama school and I’m running around town and I’m sitting in the office. And while Majors actually has a couple of big performances on the way (including the upcoming [Creed III](https://www.avclub.com/film/reviews/creed-iii-2023) and well-received festival feature [Magazine Dreams](https://www.avclub.com/film/reviews/magazine-dreams-2023)), the obvious sign of his ascension is his role as Marvel’s new marquee bad guy in this week’s [Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania](https://www.avclub.com/film/reviews/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-2023)—a part that almost didn’t happen, after Majors walked out of his very first meeting with Marvel several years ago.

It's clear that despite his rocky start with Marvel, Majors has proven himself to be a capable and captivating actor who is set to become a new Thanos-sized villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was a big relief when the season finale of “Loki” happened because people really seem to be on board for Kang. Kang made his Marvel debut in “Loki” on Disney+, playing a variant of the character. People who saw the movie during test screenings liked him a lot, even more than other villains in the past. However, Majors didn't make it out of the building. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Majors confessed that he grew up in a particular way and didn't want to waste anybody's time.

When I said yes, we got the whole picture, and what is being laid out is cohesive.” “And I was like, ‘I’m supposed to be here, right?’ It got long and I went, ‘I’m just going to go. So I got in there and they’re just busy,” he said.

And a big part of his character is he expends the least amount of energy possible. One of the main highlights of the movie is the debut of Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, a character popular in the comics who sometimes serves as an anti-hero and other times as a supervillain. Each song was chosen to communicate with a different part of myself, to activate and inspire different emotions and movements in the crew. Fantastic (played by John Krasinski in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), Kang can manipulate time and is therefore a formidable adversary. As a time-traveling being from the 31st century and a descendant of Nathaniel Richards, the father of Reed Richards or Mr. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, also known as Ant-Man 3, is the 31st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, directed by Peyton Reed.

To answer the question, what it does for me is it brings you closer to the character. Majors’ recent admission of the grueling regime that he followed to bulk up for his recent roles proves his dedication to transforming into his characters. And I was like, ‘I’m supposed to be here, right?’ It got long and I went, ‘I’m just going to go.

I had just gotten out of drama school and I’m running around town and I’m sitting in the office. Majors left a significant impression in his teaser appearance as He Who Remains in Loki’s season 1 finale, which served as a warm-up to the many versions of Kang that he’ll portray throughout the franchise.

'Send a text message with a song' the actor said in a recent interview with The Cut.

“Fall in love and everything. “Then play ‘No Scrubs,’ at which point you would’ve completely ended your relationship.” The next day, send them another song by Maxwell with ‘I thought you’d like this.” My song of choice would be ‘Come Over,’ by Aaliyah,” the Devotion star said. During the conversation, he described some of the romantic gestures that he’s opted for when trying to get into a relationship with someone. After that, the song you should be playing is ‘Whenever Wherever Whatever,’ by Maxwell.

To answer the question, what it does for me is it brings you closer to the character. His physical transformation has gotten a lot of attention, but it’s the taut, soul-bearing performances he delivers that make him one of the most promising actors working today. Majors, raised in Texas by his single mother who’s a pastor, had some bumps in the road on his way to stardom, getting in trouble for skirmishes at school and, for a while, living out of his car. Majors will follow that up with the release of Creed III in March, in which he stars opposite Michael B. This year the actor will enter the stratosphere when he plays a Marvel villain in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, opening February 17. For now, his LA home is at the Four Seasons, where we’re meeting for dinner on a December evening.
