HOLLYWOOD’S Marvel Studios has parted ways with Jonathan Majors after the actor was accused and convicted of assaulting and harassing his former girlfriend.
Prior to his conviction, Majors was set to feature as the supervillain Kang the Conqueror in the next phase of Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty”.
Before he was accused of assault by his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, Majors was one of the fastest rising movie stars in Hollywood.

The actor’s profile was raised when he co-starred in two of the year’s biggest blockbusters: Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Creed III.”
Majors, 34, was found guilty on Monday Dec. 18, 2023, of one misdemeanor assault charge and one harassment violation by the nine-person jury in Manhattan.
Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, in a statement, said:
“It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV because they found Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that.
“We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari’s, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him.
“Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months.
“Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name.”
