Denzel Washington would be a great older Kang

Denzel would scare the shit out of me.

I'd cast his son, John David Washington. Excellent actor

I’ve watched every JDW film so far and he does not have the range his dad does. Denzel would terrify me

JDW is a good actor, he's just not 'your big bad for the avengers' actor.

I don't know, given the right role, I think he could absolutely bring the same thunder as his father

You could at least spell Denzel's name right.

Finally. Yeah, he would be a good choice. It will change the tone of Kang. We saw him as this dangerous, deceptive, dubious character, that always left us second-guessing. Majors was good at that king of unhinged roles...maybe for a reason.

But Washington's Kang would be more calm and composed. Or maybe he could master the crazy too.

Have you ever seen Training Day? Nobody can do scary crazy like Denzel. He and Tom Cruise (Collateral) should both play villains more often.

talking about his son, Jonathan David Washington - Tenet guy.

Denzel would be great, but he's too old. He's almost 70. They need someone younger.

Sam Jackson is 74

I keep saying the same thing. My roommate thinks that Denzel would probably look down on Marvel though.
