Jonathan Majors says he sent Kevin Feige a letter after Marvel firing

The question of new projects, and who’ll let him do them, is clearly on Majors’ mind in a new interview he did with Variety‘s Angelique Jackson this week. There is, of course, much talk of rebirth, of allowing people to feel how they’re going to feel, of accepting the world for what it is. But when directly asked whether he still wants to make Creed IV with his friend and frequent supporter Michael B. Jordan, Majors doesn’t hide that he wants it: “Well, we’re both in shape right now; we know how to fight; we know the choreography. It takes a shift in just people, really. But for something like that to happen, I imagine there are people who would have to say, ‘Yeah, OK, cool.’”

Elsewhere, the actor talks (in slightly guarded terms) about learning that he’d no longer be the star of Marvel’s forthcoming plans, news of which apparently came to him through indirect sources just after his verdicts were handed down. He says he wrote Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige a letter semi-recently, because “I just appreciate him. I just love him. I loved my time at Marvel, and I still love Kang. I’m watching them. I see what they’re doing and I’m pulling for them. If they need me, they know where I’m at.” (When asked if he thought that was likely, Majors fell back into Zen mode: “It’s not in my control. I see it clearly. I understand – it’s a publicly traded company. You’re trying to do this; you can’t have this [controversy] around. That’s what happens when this happens. I don’t hold it against them. I want to make that very clear. I’m not upset with anybody about that. I’m not upset at all.”)
