Jonathan Majors, a renowned Hollywood actor, found himself entangled in a legal predicament when he was found guilty of assaulting and harassing his former partner, Grace Jabbari. As a consequence of this conviction, Marvel took the decision to remove him from a prominent role in their highly anticipated superhero blockbusters.
The repercussions of the actor’s conviction are significant, as he could potentially face a prison sentence of up to one year. Moreover, this unfortunate turn of events has disrupted Marvel’s carefully laid out plans for their franchise, where Majors’ character, Kang the Conqueror, was set to play a central role in several upcoming films.
In 2023, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ marked the introduction of ‘Kang the Conqueror’, portrayed by Majors. Furthermore, Majors was slated to make appearances in a minimum of two upcoming ‘Avengers films’, which are considered the flagship franchise within the Marvel universe.
According to a source familiar with the matter, Marvel has decided to exclude Jonathan Majors from their superhero films. This decision comes after it was initially reported by US entertainment media. In the beginning of March, authorities responded to an emergency call in Manhattan and conducted a preliminary investigation, which revealed a domestic dispute between Majors and Jabbari.
The legal representatives of the pair engaged in a conflict, exchanging accusations regarding the instigator of the altercation over the device. In a statement, the prosecutor’s office declared that Jonathan Majors was convicted of third-degree assault and second-degree harassment by a jury in the Manhattan Criminal Court. Majors is scheduled to be sentenced on February 6. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg emphasized that the evidence presented during the trial demonstrated a recurring pattern of psychological and emotional abuse, along with escalating acts of coercion.
According to local media reports, the conclusion was reached by a jury of six individuals who deliberated for over five hours across a span of three days.
