‘GOTG’s’ Chukwudi Iwuji Floated as Possible Majors Replacement on Twitter

As Jonathan Majors continues to fight his DV case, it appears the internet has already settled on a possible replacement in the MCU … another bad guy in a new superhero movie.

We’re talking about Chukwudi Iwuji — who made a splash this weekend in the third ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ flick as the big bad, the High Evolutionary … and who left audiences and comic book fans more than impressed with his epic performance.

While the HE meets his grisly demise in the end (spoiler) … a lot of folks on the bird app are nominating Iwuji as the next would-be Kang the Conqueror if things go south for JM.

There’s chatter about how Iwuji’s take on his supervillain is how Kang should’ve been portrayed in the ‘Ant-Man’ film that recently featured him … namely, over the top and downright ruthless — which is certainly how Iwuji’s High Evolutionary comes across.

As the comparisons continue to fly … a good handful of Twitter users are also straight up saying Iwuji should be considered to step in as Kang if Disney decides to ultimately drop Majors — which they have not done yet, and which may be premature at this point.

This “what if” speculation seems to be a mix of praise for Iwuji and jumping the gun on Majors’ MCU future. Frankly, ever since he was arrested — a lot of names have been floated as possible stand-ins … but now, it would seem Iwuji’s at the front of the line in fans’ eyes.

Again … there’s been no indication from Disney that they’re considering cutting Majors loose just yet — despite the fact that he’s been dropped from other projects and organizations.

As we’ve reported … his team has repeatedly denied he did anything wrong from the beginning, and have even suggested he was the victim here — while also claiming to have evidence that they say will exonerate him. We’ve seen surveillance footage of the woman in question out partying after the alleged incident … and she appears to be fine/uninjured.

Of course, he’ll have his day in court soon enough. The guy’s scheduled to appear before a judge on Monday — where his team will undoubtedly push for the charges to be dropped.

Like everyone else, we’re sure Disney will be monitoring … as Majors is a key figure in their Marvel plans, with scheduled appearances in several more films and TV shows as Kang.
