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.

In mid-September, as Warner Bros. released the trailer for “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” controversial documents from the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial emerged, causing problems for the studio.

The documents described a tense atmosphere on the “Aquaman” set, with allegations about Jason Momoa and director James Wan.

Despite ongoing controversies, Warner Bros. did not fire Heard, largely due to pressure from Elon Musk.

The DC universe is undergoing significant changes, with many stars from earlier films not reprising their roles. Despite the challenges, there is hope that “Aquaman 2” may perform well at the box office.

The ever-evolving landscape of superhero films finds a unique charm in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with Thor as a standout character portrayed by Chris Hemsworth.

Recent speculation about a fifth Thor movie has generated interest following the mixed reactions to “Thor: Love and Thunder.” While official confirmation is pending, an upcoming release titled “Thor: Love and Thunder – The Official Movie Special” scheduled for September 19, 2023 is set to provide insights into Thor’s journey in the MCU.

Taika Waititi, the director, suggests that Thor’s growth will involve facing challenges that build on his past experiences, including a powerful new villain. Waititi emphasizes Thor’s connection to mythology, envisioning a universe filled with imaginative creatures.

He portrays Thor as a seasoned explorer in space, comfortable in confronting formidable foes. If Waititi’s vision comes to fruition, the potential fifth Thor movie promises a captivating narrative that merges Thor’s mythological roots with modern-day storytelling, offering an exhilarating cinematic experience for MCU fans.
