Not surprising Disney waited until the verdict to not engage in cancel culture but the writing was on the wall with Kang

Maybe they can recast the role instead of just removing the character entirely

 

[VertigoKnight]

They’ll probably recast

Sope Dirisu as Kang would be amazing

The rumours were saying Damson Idris. but he doesn't have the intimidating presence

Bag fumble of the century

 

[Diondon]

Cold blooded

 

[Jaguar93]

Damn

 

[Kingshango]

Welp.

So what’s the over/under on a recast vs the rumored pivot to Dr. Doom?

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Damn. Cold world

 

[beenz]

Thought he might survive this when they found out the white lady was the antagonist.
