In the past, it was reported that Boyega was considered for the role of T’Challa in the Black Panther sequel, a role that was ultimately filled by the late Chadwick Boseman’s character’s sister, Shuri.

Regardless of who eventually lands the role, it’s clear that Marvel Studios is interested in making Kang a major part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the coming years.

At the end of the day, the decision to cast John Boyega as Kang will ultimately come down to Marvel’s producers and the actor himself. There’s no doubt that Boyega has the talent and the experience to pull off a major role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there are also plenty of other actors who could be considered for the part. Whatever happens, though, it’s clear that Kang is going to be a major player in the Marvel movies to come, and fans are eager to see if someone new will step into the role.
