JONATHAN MAJORS IS FIRED BY MARVEL AFTER BEING FOUND GUILTY OF ASSAULT

Marvel decided to remove rising Hollywood talent Jonathan Majors from a prominent position in their superhero movies after he was found guilty on Monday of abusing and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

Majors’s conviction has complicated Marvel’s ambitions for the franchise and might land the actor a year or more in jail. His persona, Kang the Conqueror, was set to be a major player in several upcoming Marvel movies, such as “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and at least two more Avengers movies.

The studio will not be moving further with Jonathan Majors, according to a source knowledgeable on the decision, which was made in response to reports from US entertainment media.

Majors was taken into custody at the end of March following a confrontation with his thirty-year-old ex-girlfriend, Jabbari, in a Manhattan automobile.

The altercation started when Majors received a text message, and Jabbari tried to steal his phone because he thought he was talking to a different woman, according to accounts from the local media.

There was a dispute that resulted in charges being made by both legal teams regarding who started the argument over the device.

According to a statement from the prosecutor’s office, Jonathan Majors was found guilty by the Manhattan Criminal Court jury of third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. The date of sentencing is set on February 6.

“The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Majors’ assault and harassment of his girlfriend was the culmination of a history of violence and compulsion, as judged by a jury.

Six jurors deliberated for over five hours over three days, according to reports from the local media.

Known for his parts in “Creed III,” “Lovecraft Country” (for which he was nominated for an Emmy), and “Magazine Dreams” (which was screened at the Sundance Film Festival), Jonathan Majors is currently facing repercussions following his conviction on accusations of harassment and assault.
