Jonathan Majors ‘Walked Out’ of His First Marvel Meeting After Execs Kept Him Waiting Too Long: ‘It’s Cool. I’ll Just Go’

Jonathan Majors is on top of the world right now. Not only did he end 2022 with the acclaimed war film, “Devotion,” but his 2023 has gone better than expected.

Charna Flam Jonathan Majors and Michael B. Jordan are busy promoting “Creed III,” but the pair are hoping to work together again soon. In “Creed III,” Jordan returns as Adonis Creed and stars opposite Majors, who portrays new antagonist, Damian Anderson. Ahead of the March 3 premiere, the two sat down with the New York Times to discuss the film, their individual careers and how they intend to continue to partner for future projects.  In his directorial debut, Jordan placed immense pressure on himself, which trickled down to his preparation in pitching Majors for the role. “I was all in my head, like, ‘OK, what are the things I would want to hear? This dude can do a million different things right now. What’s going to make him take a chance on this actor-director who hasn’t directed [anything]?’” revealed Jordan.

Jonathan Majors is opening up about the impact his father’s absence has had on his life.

Jonathan Majors spoke out about being involved in one of the worst-rated movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” introduced Jonathan Majors into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Kang the Conquerer, the franchise’s new Thanos-sized villain. While the actor received glowing reviews for his quietly menacing Kang, “Quantumania” itself was widely panned. The film is one of the worst-reviewed Marvel films in history with a 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, which nearly matches the record-low “Eternals” score of 47%. The film’s Metacritic score also stands at a paltry 48. Majors joined IndieWire’s “Screen Talk” podcast this week and confronted “Quantumania’s” low critic scores. “It doesn’t change how I see myself, period. It’s all data,” Majors said about bad reviews. “I’m a performance within a story. One thing I will say to my team as we’re leaving a premiere if they’re reading reviews, I’ll say, ‘How’s the movie doing?’ I try to clean my plate and take care of my part. The response is: ‘You’re straight. You’re good. They like you.’ And they tell me about the movie. Sometimes the movie is also on that level, and sometimes [it’s not].”

Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors are in a debate about the next “Sexiest Man Alive”.

Jonathan Majors seems like he's everywhere recently, that's because he is! The actor has starred in three feature films this year and we're only three months in. From playing an aspiring bodybuilder in January's  to the formidable Kang the Conqueror in February's , he's been making his mark. And now the 33-year-old is earning critical acclaim for his role in the highly anticipated third installment of the spinoff franchise, , which also serves as Michael B.

Jonathan Majors reveals what it was like having Michael B. Jordan as a director on “Creed III” in an interview with ET Canada’s Keshia Chanté.

The stars of Creed III are bringing their new movie to Atlanta!

We’re back for a third round of Adonis Creeds life with Creed III. Making his directorial debut, Michael B. Jordan executes his vision for the future of these films in the franchise which is something to appreciate as each of the movies has a different director who frames each Creed in their own style. In this new installment, Adonis faces a new challenge: the past. Alongside Jordan, the movie stars Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors, Wood Harris and Phylicia Rashad.

There has never been a bad “Rocky” movie before, and thank goodness “Creed III” keeps the streak alive.Even the films in the “Rocky” series with less-than-stellar reputations are interesting character pieces, valuable snapshots of their moments in history, which only become more enjoyable as time marches on. Time has marched directly into the “Creed” series, an equally impressive collection of underdog tales starring Michael B.

Paul Rudd is revealing why it was a challenge starring opposite Jonathan Majors in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”.

Jonathan Majors revealed he actually walked out on his first Marvel meeting.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” revealed that he almost walked out of his first meeting with the company because they were taking too long.“I hope this doesn’t bite me in the a-s, but I walked out of my Marvel general [meeting],” Majors admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair.Majors had just finished school at the Yale School of Drama in 2016 when he found himself waiting in the Marvel Studios office.“I grew up in a very particular way and I don’t want to waste nobody’s time. So I got in there and they’re just busy,” he said.

Jonathan Majors plays Kang the Conquerer, a character capable of traveling through time, in the new film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

2023 is set to be a massive year for Jonathan Majors. Sure, he’s got “Creed III” coming in March.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer One of the great charms of the first two “Ant-Man” movies is how little they have to do with the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang tussles with Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson in the 2015 original. And yeah, the introduction of the Quantum Realm in the 2018 sequel lays the groundwork for the time travel shenanigans in “Avengers: Endgame.” But generally speaking, audiences could take in Scott’s size-shifting adventures alongside scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), his daughter Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Hank’s wife and Hope’s mother Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), without needing to be steeped within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is a different beast entirely. Despite the assurances of Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige that every Marvel title can exist on its own terms, the third “Ant-Man” film is neck deep in series lore as it launches Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and the second act of the Multiverse Saga. Here’s everything you need to know before watching “Quantumania.”

Jonathan Majors is getting rave reviews for his role as Kang The Conqueror in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”, but his work with Marvel didn’t get off to the best start.

Zack Sharf The Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen its fair share of memorable villains, from Josh Brolin’s Thanos to Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Cate Blanchett’s Hela. But according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, no villain has gotten higher test screening scores than Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conquerer. Kang debuts in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” which sets up the character as the new Thanos of the MCU. “For years, we’ve always had the inkling that Kang would be an amazing follow-up to Thanos,” Feige told Entertainment Weekly. “He’s got that equal stature in the comics, but he’s a completely different villain. Mainly, that’s because he’s multiple villains. He’s so unique from Thanos, which we really liked.”

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is about to hit theaters, kicking off the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Paul Rudd‘s Scott Lang and his family face off against Jonathan Majors‘ Kang the Conqueror.
