Jonathan Majors is out at Marvel Studios in a stunning career blow for the once-rising actor.


On Dec. 18, a Manhattan jury found Majors guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment following a two-week trial that stemmed from a March incident between the actor and his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari.


Before his March arrest, Majors was positioned as the key figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the Disney-owned studio building its entire current story arc around Majors’ Kang the Conqueror. The time-traveling villain factored into this year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as well as both seasons of Loki, and he was going to lead Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, slated for May 1, 2026. The feature is still in the script phase and had not begun filming. No director is currently attached.

This guy managed to speedrun his rise to success and then speedrun his downfall. Good, fuck him.

Marvel had their statement already made months in advance and as soon as the Marvel Rep in the court room heard the verdict they sent that text right away : Firing can go as planned.
