Jonathan Majors Reveals Why He Almost 'Walked Out' Of 1st Marvel Meeting

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania actor Jonathan Majors said he asked himself whether or not he was supposed to be at his first Marvel meeting years before his role as Kang the Conqueror.

Majors, who stars as the villain in the upcoming Ant-Man movie, told Vanity Fair that he nearly walked out of a general meeting with Marvel .

I grew up in a very particular way, and I dont want to waste nobodys time, Majors said.

So I got in there and theyre just busy. And I was like, Im supposed to be here, right? It got long, and I went, Im just going to go. Its cool. Ill just go.

Majors, who is set to appear in at least two future Avengers films, revealed that he walked out of the office but hadnt left the building when he heard that casting director Sarah Finn was about to join the meeting. So he went back in and they met.

We were having this great conversation. I think it was three years later that we had the Kang chat, said Majors.

And theres no trepidation now, especially because of who Kang is. When I said yes, we got the whole picture, and what is being laid out is cohesive.
