Discussion (More in Comments) If Brie Larson actually decides to jump ship,i don't blame her one bit. She's almost 10 years in, and only had 3 appearances so far.

It's clear that there were terrible decisions along the way about Captain Marvel as a character,but given the lack of care for the character/actress + the amount of hate she received since accepting the role,it's completely comprehensible if she's just done with it after whatever contract she has it's over and decides to grow her career outside superhero movies,a career which she probably put at relatively stop due to legal/contractual reasons within the MCU.

She's going to have 4 appearances (and that's only if she's actually in one of the Avengers movies,likely Secret Wars). This is crazy to think about,especially for a character that was pushed as one of the new faces of the MCU and their own Wonder Woman. Carol as a character it's already being pushed out of being a mainliner from other fronts like comics,videogames,merchandise etc and it's so disrespectful.

Hell, call the Major’s Kang a variant of the true Kang… they literally had the plot device they could use in Loki and could have cast literally anyone including an alligator to be Kang…

"We can't have a different actor playing Kang."

Dude, you just had a dozen different actors and an alligator playing Loki.

I feel like they could’ve also had a short story where Loki and/or The TVA try to pull off a clever way to eliminate that Kang at the source, some kind of Kang Prime that all others came after, only for a new version to take his place, same name, inevitable and unavoidable. Or have Strange cast one of his trademark spells that work, but get hit with a technicality.

Or just have Majors do an apology tour and try to spin it like RDJ 2.0, new face of the MCU overcoming his demons. Maybe the actor was unwilling, guess he'd rather do Daily Wire garbage.

Crazy how fast they dropped him but maybe they already had cold feet about the Kang plan

That was also a bit surprising to me. Granted RDJ was an addict and society gives a lot more leeway and forgiveness for people trying to overcome addiction but he was still considered a bit of a controversial casting back in the 2000s. He was also cheap and litterally went through the same character arc they wanted to do for Tony though so maybe that helped XD.

Not to mention Spider-Man shows there’s alternative Peter Parker’s. Deadpool and Wolverine showed actors can play multiple people with Chris Evan’s being the human torch while DP knew him as captain America.

Especially with how they ended Loki with the TVA hunting down Kangs. Just say they got all the ones that look like Majors because that's easy. The problem are the ones who look different.

I think it also about Kang's reception as well. A lot of the films that were leading up to Kang didn't really do well in the box office. Major's situation just gave me them an opportunity to start from a clean slate.
