On Monday, December 18, 2023, actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
As a result, Marvel has removed him from a crucial role in their superhero movies. Majors could face up to one year in prison, impacting Marvel’s franchise plans.
His character, Kang the Conqueror, was supposed to play a key role in upcoming films, beginning with his debut in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantomania” in 2023.
However, Marvel has chosen not to continue with Jonathan Majors, as confirmed by a reliable source.
The incident between Majors and Jabbari in Manhattan, initially reported as a domestic dispute in early March, led to his conviction.
The court heard that Majors had received a text message and Jabbari had sought to take his phone, believing the contact to be from another woman.
There was a struggle, with the pair’s legal representatives trading accusations over who attacked whom in the ensuing tussle over the device.
