Jonathan Majors has recently denied rumors that he will be appearing as Kang the Conqueror in the new series Loki. With Major's strong attachment and involvement in the MCU universe, it makes complete sense that he would take on the presumed role in Loki.

However, all of these original plans seem to have gone completely out the window. Majors recently sat down with Variety for an interview to discuss the longevity and future of his career. It was then that Majors strongly denounced any rumors of him appearing in Loki as Kang. This comes as a puzzling statement to fans, especially since Majors has been cast as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man 3 for quite some time now. Majors told Variety, “I have no idea what you are talking about,” with regards to making his first appearance as Kang in Loki. Although Majors' presence in Loki may not be there, it is still quite likely that at least the character of Kang the Conqueror will still be a part of the series - regardless of who takes on the role.

Even though Majors is rejecting his involvement with the series, his claim to have no idea of such a rumor is still a bit hard to believe. This further solidifies for fans that if there's this much talk around Kang the Conqueror, then his appearance in Loki seems secure. This denial of Majors appearing in Loki has stirred up some questions from fans as to just how the character would be featured in the series. Since the series is based heavily on the comics, there are a lot of storylines and narratives that Marvel could decide to focus on - or not even include at all. Majors' oblivious nature surrounding his involvement in the series, especially since Marvel confirmed his appearance in Ant-Man 3 a year ago, is mysterious at best. 

The disclosure contracts that actors have to sign when they are a part of the MCU universe are not something to mess around with. Majors may just be adhering to his contract, so he claims to be detached in a way that is firm, but still remains as an open-ended no. Majors claiming he has “no idea” doesn’t seem to add up, therefore he may just be protecting spoilers for Loki. He may just be claiming he has no knowledge whatsoever about any rumors so that fans will be surprised and held in suspension.

All of this may be confusing or even shocking news for fans since Marvel Studios had already solidified that Majors would be the one to take on the role of Kang. But it's worth remembering that his role as Kang was only reported for Ant-Man 3 and that the idea of the character appearing in Loki was merely a rumor created by fans, no matter how likely it may seem.

Loki is available for streaming now on Disney Plus.
