Actor Jonathan Majors, who is set to appear in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania as Marvel villain Kang the Conqueror, revealed in a new interview that prior to becoming a part of the Marvel family he was already caught up and had seen them all in theaters.
If someone made a time capsule they would go ‘Yeah, superhero movies.’” The Lovecraft Country actor went on to wax poetic about the stories of the larger MCU and how it related to his studies as an actor, comparing the epic scope of Marvel Studios’ movies to the mythology and plays of Ancient Greece.
He continued, “Because I was watching these movies at a certain time in my training I did watch and go ‘Oh, I see what they’re doing there.I see what it is, Oh, they’re Greek plays.’ The superhero genre, but particularly Marvel in my opinion, They’re Greek.
