Marvel and Disney drop actor Jonathan Majors hours after guilty assault verdict

Actor who played Kang the Conquerer in the Loki series was slated to continue the character in an Avengers movie set for 2026

Marvel Studios and the Walt Disney corporation have ended their relationships with actor Jonathan Majors shortly after he was convicted of assaulting and harassing Grace Jabbari, his then girlfriend, the Associated Press reports.

Majors’ promising career has been on a rapid descent since the 34-year-old was arrested on 26 March after getting into a heated conflict with Jabbari in a chauffeured SUV on their way to Majors’ apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York. He was convicted on Monday on two of the four offenses that New York prosecutors charged him with: third degree assault and second degree aggravated assault.
