Marvel Studios set up Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors, to be the next big bad for their wave of movies and television series for years to come. He debuted at the end of Loki Season 1 as He Who Remains, another Kang variant but was killed by Sylvie--a Loki variant played by Sophia Di Martino. Kang will also appear in Loki Season 2 as one of his variants Victor Timely as well (as also seen in the Quantumania post-credit scene).

　　However, the uncertainty of Majors' pending lawsuit has already had some effect on the actor's career, but it wouldn't affect the production of the upcoming Loki season. Talking to Variety, executive producer Kevin Wright explained that they had finished filming at the end of 2022, and is still the story they had wanted to do.

　　"No. This is maybe--not maybe--this is the first Marvel series to never have any additional photography. The story that is on screen is the story we set out to make," Wright said. "We went out there with a very specific idea of what we wanted this to be, and we found a way to tell it in that production period. It's very much what's on screen on Disney+."

　　Wright also added that at no time were there plans to edit Majors out, or anything of that nature, and viewed that sort of post-production plan as "hasty."

　　"I know as much as you do at the moment. It felt hasty to do anything without knowing how all of this plays out."

　　Marvel nor Disney have made any official calls on replacing Majors going forward since his initial arrest in March. If they do, it would hardly be the first recast of major roles in Marvel films with the first one being Don Cheadle replacing Terrence Mann for Iron Man 2 and onward.

　　Loki Season 2 premieres exclusively on Disney+ October 5.
