LOKI Season 2 Now Expected To Debut In Mid 2023 - And Marvel Could Have A Major Kang Problem

Loki season 2 is now expected to hit Disney+ this summer, and Jonathan Majors has already filmed his scenes as Kang. Where does this leave Marvel Studios should they decide to replace him in the role?

Previous reports have indicated that Loki season 2 will arrive on Disney+ in September, but it seems Marvel Studios may have shortened the release window slightly.

Though an exact premiere date has yet to be announced, Variety believes that Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief will be back on our screens by "mid 2023."

Loki is still the most-watched MCU Disney+ series, and fans are no-doubt looking forward to more episodes - but there is a Kang-shaped spectre hanging over this upcoming second season.

Jonathan Majors has already filmed his scenes as the villain, and is expected to have a big part to play in the story following the events of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The actor has already been dropped from several upcoming projects, but last we heard, Marvel higher-up were not planning to take any action.

Majors and his attorney are doing everything they can to prove his innocence, but with multiple alleged abuse victims currently cooperating with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, his situation could soon become a lot direr.

If things do go south and Majors is completely blacklisted, Disney/Marvel may have no other choice but to sever ties and recast his character for future MCU projects - but they will still be faced with the prospect of promoting a Kang-heavy season of television.

The season finale of Loki concluded with Sylvie following through on her plan to kill "He Who Remains" (Majors), splintering the Sacred Timeline and causing the rebirth of The Multiverse in the process. We then saw the God of Mischief arrive at what he believed to be the familiar surroundings of The TVA, only to discover that he'd actually entered a reality ruled over by another Kang Variant.

We're sure to have more on this story to share soon, so keep an eye out for updates.

Really it would depend on the outcome of whats going on and how much screen time he has

If he has limited screen time, they could reshoot his part

If we somehow land Idris Elba or something it's an upgrade anyways. I liked Majors in Loki. It was weird. But after Ant Man... I don't think losing him as Kang is a gigantic loss. There are far better actors out there that deserve a shot at being the big bad of the MCU.


BTW I know Elba is in thor....but that role was trash anyways.

@McMurdo - If they don't go with a huge name, Colman Domingo is a phenomenal actor.

If the season is done, its done. WB is promoting an Ezra-leading movie that they have chosen not to shelve and they will endure the consequences of that. Marvel has a similar struggle. All they can do now is release it, it is what it is, and then move forward.

These articles skew vey much in the opinion of you just want him to be recast.
I’m not disputing the possibility that this guy screwed up enough to lose his jobs. But Christ, can we get off this wave of letting public opinion decide if someone is actually guilty or not.

Try being an impartial reporter for once.

Everybody looking to feel better about being on morally higher ground than a celebrity

@philinterrupted - I’m pretty sure the is is why the 1000-lb sisters and Teen Mom shows exist. Every body loves seeing examples of other people failing more than they have so they can feel superior.

I don't care about his personal 🦬💩.

Stop taking photos with Nicki Minaj design coordinators, hanging with women who still go clubbing and focus on doing the job.

He's not going away. Redeem his character as one who could not be defeated so easily, and let's stop talking about allegations until there's facts.

Or bring in Denzel as his replacement.

I think Marvel Studios absolutely should recast at this point, but after the Ezra Miller fiasco it wouldn’t surprise me if they just ride this out and dump him after Kang Dynasty. Disney is more image-conscious than WB but nothing seems off the table anymore. I really loved Loki season 1, by far the best of the D+ shows.
