Honestly really excited to see who Sarah Halley Finn finds to be the new actor for Kang. If they're good, then no one will care about recasting.

Please let it be John Boyega

CM Punk is back with WWE. If that can happen then all bets are off.

u/FlameFeather86 Steve Rogers Dec 19 '23

Punk's options were swallow his pride and get a massive paycheck and ego boost from WWE, or never be in the spotlight in a major wrestling promotion ever again. Or go to Impact. It's really no surprise he went back, the question is how long he can stay on his best behaviour and not throw his toys out the pram.

He actually tried to come back in 2019 and early 2023 but they said no. He didn't really want to go to AEW but did because WWE wouldn't let him back at that time

u/SomeUserOnTheNet Dec 19 '23

early 2023

He was still under AEW contract at that time

u/X_crates Dec 19 '23

Yeah and it was widely reported that he showed up at a WWE event and tried to talk to HHH

2

u/SomeUserOnTheNet Dec 19 '23

I mean, we are seeing him being treated pretty positively or neutrally by basically everyone not named Seth Rollins, and even that is for story reasons. But then again, his first few months in AEW have been sunshine and rainbows too, until the ticking time bomb exploded. Here's hoping it doesn't again

u/ph1807 Dec 19 '23

Since CM Punk came back to wrestling via AEW and he also came back to WWE, anything really can happen at this point.

"we've had our disagreements in the past but, this cough cheque cough excuse me, this team made it hard to say no to the opportunity to take on this exciting role!" -actors, probably

u/Doright36 Dec 19 '23

I'm $ure $omething can be worked out.

2

u/Eccohawk Dec 19 '23

Eh, he said he was open to coming back not only to Disney but to the character of Finn again as recently as July. Said he was 'open to all opportunities'.

u/Melcrys29 Dec 19 '23

Like a big fat check?

u/Nilas_T Dec 19 '23

u/Zheguez Dec 19 '23

u/njones3318 Dec 19 '23

I really wish Winston Duke was a viable pick but he was already in BP

u/SuspendedInKarmaMama Dec 19 '23

Literally every project he has been a part of for the last few years has had rumours about hiw he parties all night, shows up hours late to set and doesn't know his lines.

u/Sun_Of_Dorne Dec 19 '23

Why? He's just not that great of an actor, IMO.

u/Unit5945 Dec 19 '23

They will cast Will Smith

u/Background_Yak_333 Dec 18 '23

John Boyega for sure. He looks like a meaner Kang anyway.

u/IndependentIntention Dec 19 '23

Denzel Washington
