Marvel Studios drops Jonathan Majors, known for playing Kang, after guilty assault verdict
Marvel Studios has removed actor Jonathan Majors from its movie after he was convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, media reports said.
On Dec. 18, a Manhattan jury found Majors guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment following a two-week trial that stemmed from a March incident between the actor and his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
Before his arrest in March, Major was playing a crucial role in Marvel Cinematic Universe.
According to reports, the Disney-owned studio was even planning to create a stroy around Majors’ Kang the Conqueror.
