Colman Domingo not interested in Jonathan Majors' sloppy Marvel seconds

Domingo did discuss the role with Marvel Studios, but only because he was generally discussing possible roles with Marvel Studios. “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. I did do that. We talked openly about the landscape of Marvel and the Kang rumors,” he explained. Domingo stepping in to replace Majors was never really a conversation, he said, but he wouldn’t have wanted to do that anyway: “I am all about energy. I want to do things that make sense and bring gentle energy. I want a role to be mine, whatever I develop. Something didn’t feel right to me about replacing someone. I want to build something from the ground up that is my own.”

In the end, Marvel decided to drop the whole Kang Dynasty thing and pivot to Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, anyway. (Majors, who was convicted in relation to a domestic violence dispute, professed himself “heartbroken” about the situation, telling TMZ, “I love Kang.”) Domingo, however, is still available for future Marvel consideration. “I want to build something from the ground up, so there still are talks,” he said.
