So, Jonathan Majors has commented that he would return to the role of Kang in the MCU if the chance arose.
The actor made comments, as reported by Deadline, answering a question of whether he’d return to Marvel, saying, “Yeah, of course I say yes. Disney, Marvel Studios, I love them.”
The last we saw of Kang, he was being stomped by Ant-Man and the Wasp
He continued, saying, “Tom Hiddleston, loved working with that guy. Loved working with Paul Rudd. Loved working with Gugu Mbatha-Raw. I love the industry so much, and now I’m in the place where I can feel the love from them and actually express my love for them.”
Marvel dropped the actor, who was once part of huge plans for the future of the MCU, after Majors was convicted of two counts of reckless assault and harrassment of his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

The news made it over to Reddit, where fans, quite rightly, slammed the idea of him returning in any form.
The top reply is honestly perfect, with hadriker saying, “man who is no longer hireable would like to work again.”
Then, InsideLlewynDameron commented, “‘Yesterday: "Jonathan Majors admits to strangling a woman.’ Today: ‘Jonathan Majors would very much like to be paid millions of dollars to work again.’"
It’s pretty clear that nobody wants Majors back, and this is likely his PR spinning any kind of news to try and dodge the convictions being held against him.

One Redditor exclaims, “F**k that guy. His career is rightfully over,” a statement I think many would get behind.
“I’m sure he would like that, but that time has long passed,” said Zectherian.
Most of the fanbase would happily see Kang recast, and it’s highly possible this happens down the line, once Marvel has distanced themselves from Majors’ role. It's not like there aren't plenty of actors who could do a great job as Kang.
