Jonathan Majors is the actor in charge of play Kang the Conqueror, the new great villain of the UCM that will appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. In addition to appearing in a new image characterized as the character, the actor has given more information about the villain.
Total Film magazine (from GamesRadar) has exclusively revealed a new image of Kang the Conqueror, the villain that Scott Lang and company will have to face in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. You can see it below:
This image has been accompanied by new statements from Jonathan Majors, the actor who gives life to the new villain of the UCM. In addition to praise the character’s powersMajors has also spoken of his big difference with respect to Scott Langbeing nothing less than the sense of humor.
“He’s hyper-intelligent, it’s one of his superpowers.. Their brain function is simply better than even the smart guys. It’s at that level,” Majors begins, explaining. “Seriousness is a must. It’s Kang against the world, isn’t it? At least that’s his point of view. There is no frivolity, Kang himself is very economical. Understand energy, time, what you need to survive. […] Ant-Man is a prankster, a funny guy. And now you have Scott Lang taking on Kang the Conqueror, who doesn’t joke or have a sense of humor“.
Paul Rudd, who plays Scott Lang, has also spoken to Total Film about the evil villain, stating that the confrontation between the superhero and Kang seems almost unfair.
“He is a formidable foe, the understatement of the century. Scott has never faced anyone like this.. He is Kang the Conqueror!” Rudd begins explaining. “Thanos is obviously the closest, but yeah, he has no one from the other gang [Vengadores] with the. What can you do to stop someone like that? Is not easy. Whether or not Scott succeeds is for people to see… but I think hopefully the excitement and desire to do what he’s trying to do will make sense to the audience.”
Are Kang and the One Who Remains the same person?
Majors has taken advantage of his interview to emphasize that Kang the Conqueror and He Who Remains (whom he played for the Loki series) they are not the same person.
“There are no similarities. […] I am very radical with my language around this because He Who Remains is He Who Remains. I don’t even call him Kang. It may or may not be a variant, I leave my mind open to the thought that Kang the Conqueror may be a variant of He Who Remains. […] But no, there are no similarities between both roles. I played Kang second. I didn’t even see the model of the One Who Remains to make Kang, by the way.”
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is coming to theaters around the world next February 17. She learns more details about Kang by seeing his differences with Thanos and discovers the Time Chair aspect of him.
