Calling it now,the next MCU Kang appearance will be by Don Cheadle with the first line being...
"I'm here, deal with it."
It's going to be Yaya Abdul Mateen.
Damn, how did I miss this? I honestly had no idea he was even on trial. And I enjoy - or rather, enjoyed - his performances. Not anymore.
Well, fuck him if he's actually a domestic abuser. Good on Marvel for giving him the boot.
I've been following the trial closely. His defense was just disgusting, essentially victim blaming and trying to discredit his victim. Also some texts came out during the trial that made him look like a complete psycho narcissist.
Yeesh, what a creep. Those texts are not the kind of thing a stable and rational person would write.
Yeah same. I just finished Loki season 2 and enjoyed every second of him and it actually made me more excited to see what would happen with his character... But I'd much prefer an alternative than continuing to support an abuser.
It was kinda weird to hear him mocking his other character's stutter. Sure, it's himself, but on the other hand it's an actor without a stutter mocking a character with a stutter so it didn't really land all that well.
This came up after the last season of Loki and I was genuinely shocked he was in this season since I heard they scrapped the storyline. I didn't realize the trial was ongoing until today. I guess it was only right to see how it played out until firing him.
I knew it was alleged and he was charged and that it looked bad but I didn’t hear anything about it taking place until meow.
He's always given me the impression that he's not a nice person since I first saw him on screen. There was just something unsettling about him outside of any menace he portrayed in his roles.
He was also my least favourite part of the second season of Loki. It seemed like we were supposed to feel sorry for him in his bumbling professor incarnation, but I just found him annoying and unlikeable.
Disney was waiting for the court ruling presumably due to a conduct clause.
It's always better to wait for an actual court ruling and not just fire people based on accusations. If only Disney always did this.
Good thing 'Loki' showed us variants can be crocodiles and people that look or sound nothing like you. They can just recast and move on to the true evil Kang we haven't even seen yet. Or an even bigger bad shows up and dwarfs Kang completely
He Who Remains no more.
He absolutely sucked as an actor anyway. Not sure why he was getting so much praise. I had no idea who he was when I saw the end of Loki S1 and his terrible acting ruined the whole thing for me, I almost didn't bother with S2 because of it. He's terrible, even by MCU standards.
