Jonathan Majors got “anti”, almost walked out of the first Marvel meeting
Jonathan Majors stars as Kang the Conqueror, a character who is able to travel through time, in the new film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania.
But ironically, his first meeting with Marvel Studios almost saw him walk away because the casting office was taking too long to see him.
“I hope this doesn’t bite me in the ass, but I’m out of my Marvel General [meeting]” said Majors. “It was a long time ago. I’m just out of drama school and I’m running around town and I’m sitting in an office. I was brought up in a special way and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. So I got there and they were just busy. And I was like, ‘I’m supposed to be here, right?’ It was long and I went, ‘I’m just going to go. It’s Josh. I’ll just go.”
Majors did not exit the building.
“I went to the door, but then they said [casting director] Sarah Finn is going to come,” Majors said. “We came into the room and chatted. We had this great conversation. I think it’s been three years since we had a Kang chat. And now there’s no fear, especially Kang. When I said yes, we Got the whole picture, and included what’s being held.”
Majors bulked up for Kang’s role, eating 6,100 calories a day and lifting several times a day. From the way she looked in the film, the results are seen as transformative. The last black man in San Francisco.
“At my drama school, they really pushed us ‘don’t lift weights, don’t work out,'” she told Vanity Fair. “They were adamant, especially with fellas, about not getting too big, primarily because it changes your joints, we It changes what I call breathable clothing. I’ve always had a problem with that because I grew up in Texas playing sports at a very competitive level, so I’m as strong as an 18-year-old kid. To answer the question, what it does for me is It brings you closer to the character. I’ve had this debate with my current mentors and old acting teachers where I go, “That’s actually part of the craft of acting.” It brings you closer to the character and it’s quite spiritual. It’s as little acting as possible, which My biggest thing: Don’t lie. Tell the truth.
