I think we’re all aware what is going on with Jonathan Majors. If you don’t then let me just fill you in. Jonathan Majors was arrested last week in New York City on the charges of assaulting a woman. While the actor has remained adamant on his stand that he has done nothing wrong, getting arrested for such a horrible act will always make you guilty until proven innocent and rightly so. Marvel is looking for potential replacements who can be their Kang. If rumors are to be believed then Damon Idris is the first choice to replace Majors. In a more recent report, Variety revealed that more women have come forward alleging the Marvel actor of assault. This might be endgame for the actor. However, if Majors is proved innocent in court then he will be one of the highest paid Marvel actors for Avengers 5.
Jonathan Majors Will Get A Huge Cheque From Avengers: The Kang Dynasty!
A new report from Variety revealed that Jonathan Majors is set to appear in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty which will pay him a massive $20 million plus backend compensation from the film’s box office collection. The actor is also set to reprise his role as Kang in Avengers: Secret Wars. Majors’ salary and backend compensation are not revealed for the sixth Avengers’ film. The actor is still connected to Kang Dynasty despite the controversy around him and is also set to earn a massive amount of money.
This also makes Majors, the highest paid Marvel villain in history. Tom Hiddleston had reportedly earned $800K for his role in 2012’s The Avengers and Josh Brolin reportedly earned $5-$6 million for his role of Thanos. For comparison, here is a list of all Marvel actors and their salaries:
- Robert Downey Jr. – $75 million (Avengers: Endgame)
- Scarlett Johansson – $20 million (Black Widow) – not including the extra received from her lawsuit
- Chris Hemsworth – $20 million (Love and Thunder)
- Chris Evans – $15 million (Endgame)
- Mark Ruffalo – $15 million (Endgame)
- Jeremy Renner – $15 million (Endgame)
- Paul Rudd – $8 million (Endgame)
- Benedict Cumberbatch – $6.4 million (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness)
- Brie Larson – $5 million (Captain Marvel)
- Chris Pratt – $5 million (Avengers: Infinity War)
That being said, Majors might lose all this money if he is found guilty as Marvel will then definitely replace him.
Jonathan Majors is awaiting May 8th 2023 court date in New York.
