Assault: Marvel, Disney Drop Jonathan Majors After Guilty Verdict

Marvel Studios and the Walt Disney Corporation have ended their relationships with top rising Hollywood actor, Jonathan Majors, after he was convicted of assaulting and harassing ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, the Associated Press reports.

The 34-year-old actor was found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment following a two-week trial that stemmed from the incident between the actor and his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari.

Majors was arrested on March 25, after he called 911, saying he found his ex-partner in their New York apartment unconscious. Police said they found injuries on Jabbari, including a bruised and fractured finger and a cut behind an ear.

The duo met in 2021 on the set of Marvel’s ‘Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’, which was released a month before Major’s arrest.

Before his arrest in March, 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-travelling 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.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Majors’s public relations firm, the Lede Company, has dropped the actor. He has also been dropped by his managers at Entertainment 360.

Jonathan Majors is set to be sentenced in February and faces up to a year in prison for the third-degree assault charge.
