Colman Domingo Confirms Talks With Marvel But Has No Interest In Playing Kang

Following some rumors a while ago actor Colman Domingo confirms he has had talks with Marvel, however he has no interest in playing Kang. It was suggested by some leakers that Domingo was in talks with Marvel to replace Jonathan Majors as Kang in the MCU. Well in a recent appearance on Happy Sad Confused, Domingo opened up about the reality of the situation.

“After a while, when it was constantly in the press and in places like Twitter, I was like, ‘Wait a minute, is this true?’ So I called up my team and said, ‘Are you guys having conversations that I don’t know about…Are you guys being cagey?’ And they weren’t,” Domingo explained. “But there had been conversations of me coming into Marvel in some way, so we did follow up with a sit down meeting with the heads of Marvel. So I did do that. And we talked openly about the landscape of Marvel and even the Kang rumors.”

So Domingo only began talks with Marvel after these rumors of him playing Kang had surfaced.

It seems like Domingo has no interest in a recast role if he was to come into the MCU. The actor also says he was never offered the chance to play Kang and has no idea if they had him in mind for that part at any point.

“I’m all about energy and want to do things that make sense and bring gentle energy and I want a role to be mine,” Domingo continued. “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. So I feel like that was never a conversation from my point of view. If I was discussed, I still don’t know if I was discussed. I just know I would want to build something from the ground up, so there’s still talks.”

So if Colman was the plan, it was changed before he was even spoken to. It was the rumors which got him in the phone to Marvel and they had some general talks as they’ve done with many actors yet to be cast in an MCU project. In other words, nothing to see here folks.

Osborn?

Domingo would be however interested in taking a Marvel voice role he already has and transitioning it into live-action. Domingo voices Norman Osborn in Marvel’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man animated series currently airing on Disney+.

“I would love to get the live-action version, too. Wouldn’t that be cool? I would love to tear that up on the big screen,” the actor said. “But I’m having a great time. I love the animation, I love the idea of playing Norman Osborn. And you’ll see his evolution into the Green Goblin in coming seasons, which will be very cool.”

Though of course the show isn’t actually canon to the MCU itself.

We know now that Kang has been replaced as the main threat of the Multiverse Saga by Doctor Doom. I aint gonna cry about that. Though, I would also have liked to have seen the Kang who destroyed Thanos with a touch in the MCU at some point. Still, Doom trumps them all for me as a villain. Marvel’s best and a clear inspiration for Darth Vader in Star Wars.

So, Colman Domingo confirms he has had talks with Marvel, however he has no interest in playing Kang. What do you think of this comments? Thoughts below.
