Majors said about how Downey was afforded a comeback despite legal troubles. “I didn’t really get that.”
I wanted to make a shitty joke about how it’s been a year since Majors hit his girlfriend, and how RDJ went to rehab and spent … what, 8-13 years being a pariah?
Elapsed time notwithstanding, RDJ is an addict and while a lot of things around addiction are choices, being addicted is not a choice. Majors committed domestic violence. Full stop. I have no idea why, but the signs point to him being capable of controlling himself and choosing not to in this situation.
RDJ went to rehab, and worked hard to reclaim the prestige he’s earned. Majors is whining in a magazine after showing no remorse for his actions.Also, seriously, Variety?
In Majors’ trial verdict, Majors was also found not guilty of one count of intentional assault in the third degree and one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree.
Did they forget he faced 4 charges? He narrowly avoided jail for third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. Also RDJ is not appearing in an upcoming 2017 movie unless there are some exciting developments in time travel I’ve previously been unaware of.

I never got very excited about Kang, really. I didn’t really think there was any point in trying to beat Thanos in the “intergalactic superbeing” department (apologies to any comic fans who are having a heart attack right now). But… RDJ as an embittered genius, previously nonpowered, disfigured human who’s ALSO king of his own country? Yes, please! I will watch the hell out of that!
Also, fuck you, Majors.

I’m sure Grace Jabbari is heartbroken, too.
Perhaps Majors should return to that 52 week intervention program he’s serving.

Replacing? Kang? Jesus, I didn’t think I had lost interest so hard I missed an entire avengers villain. If this doom shenanigans goes ahead it needs to be a stand alone film, can’t go making references to movies and shows no one has ever seen.
You didn’t miss much.

He’s only appeared in Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and the Loki TV series so far. They were really slow rolling the new villain.

Thanos was introduced in a post credits scene after the first Avengers film (2012), a solid 6 years prior to Infinity War. Marvel takes their time. And with good reason; extra time to vet folks and change course if needed.
