Recently, Jonathan Majors spoke about playing Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Speaking to The Warp, the actor said, “Listen, it’s probably an actor’s dream or an actor’s nightmare, you know what I mean? The level of the level of difficulty is high, and the character is quite high profile. So, you know, there’s no hiding. That just happens to gas up my engine, which I quite like. I like the high stakes.”
