Jonathan Majors has been dropped by Marvel Studios in the wake of the guilty verdict that was handed down in his assault trial today (December 18).

Full story below…

Multiple sources report that the Disney-owned juggernaut has cut ties with the embattled actor.

As reported, Majors was convicted of reckless assault and harassment, and acquitted of intentional assault and aggravated harassment.

The 34-year-old was introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Kang the Conquer.

He hit the big screen in the role in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ and two seasons of the Disney+ show ‘Loki.’

Majors was said to be on board for at least two more movies as Kang, which now will not be the case.

According to TMZ, plans for a potential pivot were being pondered in the wake of Majors’ March arrest and charging with the assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

And while Disney/Marvel didn’t immediately follow suit by dropping Majors in the way the star’s management and PR firm did when he was first accused, it figures why contingencies were put in place.

After all, two new ‘Avengers’ films are presently in development and pre-production – both of which Majors was attached to as Kang. With the stakes and the scale of both being gargantuan, making alternative arrangements was undoubtedly a given.
