At 33 years old, the Californian actor Jonathan Majors scores an achievement that few movie stars successfully achieve: star in three movies during the first quarter of the year.
Right now you can see him piloting a fighter plane on the tape. devotion (translated into Spanish as history of honor), in which he plays Jesse LeRoy Brown, the first African-American naval aviator in the United States Navy. While, on Thursday, February 16, Majors will return to the big screen as Khan, the Conqueror, the villain of the Marvel Studios multiverse saga, on the tape Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. And finally, less than a month later, on Thursday, March 2, he will box in the ring as the antagonist of Creed IIIstarring and now also directed by Michael B. Jordan.
The meteoric rise of Majors has also been accompanied by an exuberant cover in the magazine Men’s Health of November —without a shirt—, where the graduate of the Yale University School of Drama decided to exhibit the great physical work that has accompanied his preparation for all his roles. “When I look at a script, I look at the difficulty level.“, He says. “If it’s going to be easy, I don’t want to do it,” he confessed to that publication.
The villain of the multiverse saga
Majors’ foray into the gigantic Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)) will not be a minor role, since it was chosen to characterize the greatest villain of the multiverse saga and whose character also serves as the common thread between the films and series: All fans already know that all productions will lead up to Kang (Majors) as the enemy to be defeated by the heroes.

Damian the fighter
This year, actor Michael B. Jordan takes over as director of Creed IIIthe new installment of the trilogy that is inspired by the son of Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), the best friend of Rocky Balboa (Silvester Stallone).

As the trailer reveals, Damian thinks Adonis stole his chances, while he had to spend fifteen years in jail. Counting down the days to get out, Damian hasn’t stopped getting in shape to reclaim what he thinks always belonged to him.
“There are certain reasons why you build your body,” Majors confessed to Men’s Health. “The body of give to me it was built out of loss and trauma. He had lost something, and that hole is what made him work the way he did. when you see the body of give to me, you say, ‘Oh, that makes sense.’ You can’t look like that and be happy with life,” she teased.
