The past weekend has been eventful for the entertainment world, especially for Marvel fans, as MCU’s Kang actor Jonathan Majors conquered the headlines after being charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment as he allegedly attacked his girlfriend on Saturday. As expected, this turmoil sparked numerous discussions among fans, who seem to keep comparing the situation of Majors to that of DCU The Flash star Ezra Miller, who was also involved in a domestic dispute and other controversies.
MCU’s Phase 5 kicked off with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and it heavily featured Majors as the big bad and also sets the tone for the major involvement he’s going to go in for the franchise. Given the actor’s strong portrayal of the multiverse villain, Marvel fans were easily drawn to him and anticipating his next appearance in the MCU, but that changed overnight after the erratic events this weekend.

As the current investigation goes on, fans are actively sharing their opinions on social media. Some argue that Majors will completely lose his career and walk with a tarnished name from here on given that he belongs to the minority, as compared to Miller, who still gets to play his titular hero for DC despite participating in the same troubling situations just because he’s white.
In 2020, Miller choked a woman and exhibited vicious behavior over the years, yet he pleaded guilty to his wrongdoings, claiming he needs help for "complex mental health issues." On the other hand, two directors recently moved forward to cite Major's problematic attitude in the past, which indicates the current situation he’s in right now.
Despite the obvious comparison, others insist that this kind of situation does not need a comparison, as both actors need to be put away for their violent behavior. However, as the fans wait for more updates from Marvel and Disney about the repercussions they will implement for the Creed actor, the #RecastKang movement has begun.
