Marvel Studios and Walt Disney corporation have severed ties with actor Jonathan Majors shortly after he was convicted of harassing and assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, reports the Associated Press.

Best known for playing Kang in the multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Majors was found guilty December 18 on two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault against Jabbari.

The actor’s legal troubles began on March 25 when he was arrested on assault and harassment charges following accusations from Jabbari, who claimed Majors had assaulted her in the backseat of a car during an argument over a text message. She also alleged that Majors had struck her on the back of her head, resulting in a cut behind her right ear.

American entertainment magazine Variety reported that Majors has faced a series of professional setbacks since his arrest, including being dropped by his talent manager Entertainment 360 and his publicity firm the Lede Company.

Additionally, he is no longer involved with the Protagonist Pictures film The Man in My Basement. The US Army and the Texas Rangers baseball team both pulled major ad campaigns featuring Majors. Several other projects, such as Spike Lee’s Da Understudy for Amazon and the Dennis Rodman film 48 Hours in Vegas for Lionsgate, remain in limbo.

However, Marvel's decision to part ways with Majors is arguably the most significant professional consequence he has faced to date. Majors first portrayed a version of the multiverse-hopping villain Kang in the season finale of the 2021 Disney+ series Loki, setting the stage for the MCU’s future. This was followed by Majors’s portrayal of a variant of Kang named Victor Timely in Loki Season 2 on Disney+ Hotstar and a big screen outing as Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Majors was poised to play a pivotal role in MCU’s Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, originally scheduled to start shooting in early 2024. He recently pushed the film's release from 2025 to 2026.
