Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is officially kicking off this month with the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Unlike past MCU movies where the focus is on the protagonist, this new phase will focus and build a story around the antagonist who will make Thanos (the previous MCU antagonist from phase 3) look like a piece of cake. Who is this antagonist you may ask … none other than Kang the Conqueror portrayed by Jonathan Majors.

Majors made his MCU debut as He Who Remains—a multiversal variant of Kang the Conqueror—in Loki Season 1. Fast forward to February 17th, 2023, and audiences will see the commitment Majors’ made to this role putting on 10 pounds of muscle to prepare and transform his body to look like an imposing figure.

How did he accomplish this, you may ask? By waking up at 4:30 a.m. and hitting the gym, then going back to the gym at 7 p.m. This is one of Majors’ workout routines (back focused) that got him ripped:
