Jonathan Majors made his debut in the Loki series finale, where he portrayed the enigmatic character of He Who Remains. He is set to appear next in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as the notorious villain Kang the Conqueror, a major threat in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In an interview with Deadline, Jonathan Majors revealed that he drew inspiration from historical conquerors and Robert Downey Jr’s portrayal of Iron Man to bring Kang to life. Kang is a different kind of villain compared to Thanos, as he’s driven by ambition and power rather than destiny. He’s expected to be a complex and intriguing villain, bringing a new dynamic to the MCU.

“Uh, the inspirations for Kang? He’s a conqueror. You should look at Alexander the Great. Look at Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar starts there,” Majors said. “He’s a part of an already established universe. Those are inspirations and then counterpoints, which is also important in creating a character is to figure out how they counter people. ‘You’re smart, but watch how smart I am’. So you can look at Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and say okay, if that’s the superhero of superhero, etcetera, and I’m to be the supervillain of supervillains. How do I counteract that in the zeitgeist. I can write a book about it at this point, but I’ll close there.”
