Embracing clown work is to embrace the freedom within our craft.
Jonathan Majors has joined the world of superheroes, emerging as the new central villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Kang the Conqueror. We’ve seen him before in the MCU in the role. His brief appearance as He Who Remains in Loki left us wondering and wanting.
The energy Majors brings to the screen is notable.
“It’s become a cliche over the decades to compare somebody to a young Marlon Brando, but Jonathan has that,” director Peyton Reed (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania) told the New York Times.
Perhaps it’s charisma or a sense of humanity that Majors brings to each of his characters, grounding them in a close reality that few actors can do, or maybe it’s his approach that was carefully crafted at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale that is often missing in cinema, but is slowly being noticed.
