Im Pretty Sure Kingo Is Coming Back

Disney+ just posted a trailer for Kumail Nanjiani's new special, and holy shit this guy looks MORE jacked than he did for Eternals: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR2IiMjgCXn/?igsh=eG52NTFrZ2FyZzl4

My theory is Disney sweetened the deal for his return as Kingo by giving him a comedy special (Netflix is usually the one most comedians go for at his caliber). Based on timeline my guess is he's in Doomsday or Secret Wars.

Kumail could also have gotten in shape to play other roles

BambooSound2025-12-05 16:04

Or to prevent getting fat

notJ3ff2025-12-05 16:12

I always take lots of steroids when I don't want to get fat also. 🤡

ItsAProdigalReturn2025-12-05 16:16

Did you watch the video? Haha look at his Hot Ones appearance and look at this. This is like actively on top of his food and workout diligently with a private nutritionist and trainer. He's fucking jacked. Like Wolverine jacked.

BambooSound2025-12-05 16:19

No I just know he is/was on steroids.

rvdp662025-12-06 12:17

My man. I have some bad news for you. They are all on tren. You don't pack on 20 pounds of muscle in less than half a year without it.

BambooSound2025-12-06 12:20

What makes you think I didn't know that

GatorToothNecklace2025-12-05 18:52

Or after decades of being the funny guy, he enjoys being the hot and funny guy.

BambooSound2025-12-05 22:30

He was never funny, he was just on a funny show.

Stuber 2

BobTheFettt2025-12-05 17:16

I'm excited to see him in Fallout season 2

GillGruntFan532025-12-05 17:33

>!Booster Gold!<

Bing_Bong_the_Archer2025-12-05 22:08

Hey now…

ponylauncher2025-12-05 20:48

Impossible

spate422025-12-06 05:18

I think he just likes being in shape and getting offered more opportunities as a fit Indian guy than a non-fit Indian guy. He’s in a nationwide commercial with fellow jacked dude Rob McElhenney

UnknownAverage2025-12-08 13:40

Who?

Shortfall892025-12-06 13:59

Maybe for the upcoming series of>!The British Comedy series Taskmaster!<which there have been leaks showing he's in the next season.

MooreGold2025-12-06 18:16

You don't need to be jacked for that. Unless that will be part of the joke. His studio outfits and task outfits all lack sleeves to show off his arms constantly

Side note: I have to get back into that. I stopped after series 16

dbkenny4262025-12-05 15:53

I hope so!

patent_that_trex_now2025-12-05 15:56

We were planning to see him this spring/summer. Shortly after tickets went up, they had to cancel the show due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts. My assumption was that he got the call to come shoot.

ItsAProdigalReturn2025-12-05 16:17

It's gotta be for Doomsday then. The Hot Ones video that just dropped he already looks normal again (still looks great, but not like a godamn unrealistic superhero lol).

Kazzmatazz246012025-12-05 18:11

I was supposed to see him last month.
He got a sudden offer to do a broadway play in summer/fall. Thats the scheduling conflict the had him cancel his tour.

Secure_Pear_45302025-12-05 15:59

They do still put easter eggs about him in some projects. Usually posters of movies Kingo starred in. Won't be surprised if we see Sam try to recruit him for his team but he declines.

Ok_Tackle_48352025-12-06 04:33

Yeah I just saw him in an Easter egg… I forget what I was watching… Loki maybe? Season 2?

AgentSnipe88632025-12-05 16:00

That special was shot almost a year ago. I remember because I tried to get tickets to the filming of it in March

ItsAProdigalReturn2025-12-05 16:06

Then my money is on a Doomsday appearance!

Sysmatic2025-12-05 16:13

Pakistani Denzel 😏

Godkill22025-12-05 16:27

Hey Dinesh, nice chain... Do you choke your Mother with it..

Sysmatic2025-12-05 16:32

😂 Never gets old. Too many quotable lines in that show.

Dave_Eddie2025-12-05 16:25

He was in the UK film filming >!taskmaster!< while the next Avengers movies were filming so its very likely he filmed something

Big_Epsilon2025-12-06 07:01

I hadn’t seen the leaked cast till now, that’s a great get (and a great lineup!)

Madly excited for it now. Kumail will suit it so well, always loved him doing Harmontown and he’s great in everything he’s in

IamJohnnyHotPants2025-12-05 16:26

I like how you think that Kumail would require a deal sweetener like he’d be doing marvel a favor.

ItsAProdigalReturn2025-12-05 16:27

It's mutual for them. They each get a special.

IamJohnnyHotPants2025-12-05 16:29

I don’t think Marvel is going out of their way to bring anything about the Eternals back.

CommunityDragon1842025-12-05 16:31

He will def come back in Wonderman bc it just makes too much sense but idk if this is proof per se

medyas12025-12-05 17:09

well and good, were it not for the glaring fact that kingo's currently offworld and kidnapped

unless we're talking about past project material or sometime in the future after his arishem problem has been resolved (offscreen until depicted)

0LoveAnonymous02025-12-05 18:01

Cool. Love his character

_ILP_2025-12-05 18:14

I hope to see him somewhere near spider man’s teacher so we get a mini-silicon valley reunion

FX1142025-12-05 18:15

>My theory is Disney sweetened the deal for his return as Kingo by giving him a comedy special (Netflix is usually the one most comedians go for at his caliber)

The special is from Hulu, not Disney+, and they've been playing in the standup specials space a lot.

Stupid_Ned_Stark2025-12-05 20:08

The Eternals are really too important to the cosmic side to never return, and as someone who really liked Eternals I really hope we see more. Didn’t really work as a single movie but it was such a refreshing take on the MCU.

disneylegospider12025-12-05 21:05

Unless it’s a variant, why would he be in Avengers? Did you forget how Eternals ended?

Rn, he’s Arishem’s prisoner, where who knows what happens to him. His memory could’ve been wiped or worse. None of the Eternals are in a position to appear in Avengers.

Popular_Material_4092025-12-05 22:17

I wouldn’t take this as any confirmation of anything. *Maybe* he’ll be in Doomsday or Secret Wars, but I don’t think him being jacked in a stand up special means much of anything honestly

Bobopatch2025-12-06 00:11

He never stopped being jacked after Eternals, this means nothing.

ItsAProdigalReturn2025-12-06 00:39

He went from being superhero jacked to being regular jacked after shooting finished. In the special he didn't just go back to being superhero jacked - he's even bigger. Like he's Wolverine sized lol

FUCK1NGFABULOUS2025-12-06 17:41

He’s BoosterGold so gotta be in shape. We will know more about Eternals after Secret Wars and most likely get AXE in the future. Judgement Day is coming.

jhughes19862025-12-06 18:36

I reckon he got jacked for Taskmaster
