His contract said he was the only person who could play Kang in any multiverse.

Really? Disney done fucked that up. Also not enforceable as we know there was a similar contract in a parallel universe for Cuban Holding Jr. and our laws do not rule there....

Damn. If only a comic book franchise could produce a second character who was virtually identical to the first but with a slightly different outfit and mannerism. Shame that's never happened before and nobody would know how to do it.

I know it's celebrity news, so might not be true but the story of his special contract clause has been around for a while now.

"During our filming, JM closed the Kang deal. I remember asking said friend about it, and they shared some details. X number of movies, X number of dollars, and more interestingly, due to the nature of the character and potential multiple versions, JM had a contract clause stating that only he could play any and all versions of Kang.”
