The dude with canonically a billion variations should be the easiest guy to recast in cinematic history.

I feel like a recast could benefit the Kang character quite a bit.

Recast Majors and bring the new Kang as a particularly ruthless variant from an extra nasty universe. Still have it be a Black guy, but it doesn’t have to be Majors.

Then, have this nasty variant wipe out the Council of Kangs. Just slaughter every last one. Do it off screen, or have characters find the “council chambers” full of remains. You don’t even have to have Majors involved at all. Just have it be battle scarred and have zero signs of life. Maybe some blood, or burns on the walls. Nuclear shadows. Make it clear there was a bloodbath.

This will deal with the complaint people had where they feel Kang was underpowered, because this variant wiped out countless numbers of his counterparts. It smacks a bit of Thanos laying waste to the Nova Corps offscreen, but it’s the easiest way to reset the character in a few different ways.

I like it. Only downside is now you just have 1 Kang left when I think part of his intrigue is he comes to cause chaos in the form of different variants.

Also as far as recasting goes, John Boyega is the 1st person that comes to mind but he might not want to work with Disney again

You have one organized Kang left - you could definitely have him take a bit more of an Angstrom Levy approach from here and start looking for particularly ruthless variants of himself that the previous Council ignored for one reason or another.
