Marvel Studios have outcasted Emmy-nominated star Jonathan Majors after he was condemned of assaulting his then-girlfriend.
Dramatic Turn for Hollywood Star
Following a New York jury’s decision finding actor Majors guilty of attacking choreographer Grace Jabbari in March, Marvel Studios announced their discontinuation of collaboration with the actor.
This development comes as Majors faces potential imprisonment for up to a year, with sentencing scheduled for February.
Career Impact and Film Revisions
The verdict marks a sharp fall from grace for the actor, known for his role as Kang the Conqueror in Marvel films, including appearances in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and the Disney+ series “Loki.”
Marvel Studios had restructured film releases, postponing “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” where Majors held the lead role, while considering adjustments for the subsequent film, “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
Uncertainty Surrounding Future Projects
Amidst uncertainties, it remains unclear if Marvel intends to replace Majors or alter the storyline to exclude his character. Reports suggest reworking the film originally titled “The Kang Dynasty” into “Avengers 5.”
Additionally, Majors’ upcoming film, “Dreams,” previously regarded as a potential Oscar contender, encountered a postponed release following his legal situation.
Furthermore, the actor faced repercussions beyond the entertainment realm, as the US Army dropped him from a significant advertising campaign.
Background of Legal Verdict
The altercation between Majors and his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, resulted in injuries to Ms Jabbari, including a fractured finger, bruises, and a cut behind her ear, following a dispute over a phone in a hired car in New York City.
