Marvel Drops Jonathan Majors After Assault Conviction

Published

on

Marvel Studios has severed ties with Emmy-nominated actor Jonathan Majors in the wake of his recent conviction for assaulting his then-girlfriend, British choreographer Grace Jabbari.

The verdict was delivered by a New York jury on Monday, finding Majors, 34, guilty of attacking and harassing Jabbari during a heated argument in March.

The fallout from Majors’ conviction extends beyond his personal life to his professional career, especially his prominent role as the villain Kang the Conqueror in Marvel films.

Expected to feature in multiple Marvel projects, Majors’ future with the franchise is now uncertain. The studio has already postponed the release dates for “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” where he was set to play a leading role, leaving fans speculating on whether Marvel will find a replacement or write his character out of the films.

In addition to Marvel’s decision, Majors has faced setbacks in other projects. The film “Magazine Dreams,” in which he played a starring role and was considered a potential Oscar contender, has had its release delayed. The U.S. Army has also removed Majors from a significant advertising campaign.

The assault on Jabbari occurred during a dispute over a text message Majors received from another woman, expressing a desire to kiss him. The altercation left Jabbari with a fractured finger, bruising, and a cut behind her ear.

Majors was convicted of assault by recklessly causing physical injury and harassment but was acquitted of aggravated harassment and assault with intent to cause physical harm.

The prosecution presented a pattern of Majors attempting to exert control over Jabbari through physical and emotional violence, including text messages and voice recordings. Majors’ self-deprecating messages, attempts to dissuade Jabbari from seeking medical help, and recorded arguments where he urged her to emulate prominent figures were all part of the evidence presented.

Jabbari’s lawyer commended her client’s strength and resolve, emphasizing the importance of holding abusers accountable. Majors, through his lawyer, continues to maintain his innocence and expresses faith in the legal process.

Sentencing is scheduled for February 6, accompanied by a new protection order prohibiting contact with Jabbari. The actor’s conviction marks a significant turning point in his once-promising Hollywood career, leaving fans and industry insiders wondering about the lasting impact on both his personal and professional life.

Foi Wambui has been ordered to remain in a copyright battle over Mutoriah’s hit song “Beta” after a court rejected her attempt to have the case against her thrown out.

The actress and content creator is facing a lawsuit filed by musician Mutoriah over the alleged unauthorised use of his song in an Oppo smartphone advertisement.

The dispute centres on a skit Wambui featured in while promoting Oppo’s Reno 12 5G. Mutoriah claims his music was used without his permission or a synchronization licence.

A synchronization licence is required when copyrighted music is paired with visual content, particularly in commercial advertising.

Mutoriah says he discovered the advert circulating on social media on August 31, 2024.
