Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Co. have announced that they are canceling their contract for future films with Jonathan Majors after the famous Hollywood actor was sentenced to a year in prison for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
Jonathan Majors’ Success:
Jonathan Majors’s performances have been turning heads since 2019, when he starred in “The Last Black Man in 
San Francisco,” as the eccentric but kind-hearted Mont Allen. The film was a small indie affair that gained widespread acclaim and was at the top of many an Oscar snubs list that year. Since then, Majors’ recognition has rapidly evolved, capturing the attention of Netflix viewers with Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” and the Western “The Harder They Fall” as well as starring in HBO’s Emmy-nominated “Lovecraft Country” series.
The rise and reign of Majors show no signs of stopping either, as he also received praise for his performance in the Sundance premiere of Elijah Bynum’s psychological drama “Magazine Dreams,” and is slated to appear alongside Willem Defoe in the adaptation of Walter Mosley’s novel “The Man in My Basement” and reportedly as Dennis Rodman in the Phil Lord and Chris Miller-produced “48 Hours in Vegas.”
Great Box Office year 2023:
Majors wasn’t the only factor in the Box Office success of “Quantumania” and “Creed III,” but his presence arguably played a key role in their dominance. His surprise appearance as ‘He Who Remains’ in the season finale of the Disney+ series “Loki” garnered major hype for the debut of that character’s evil variant, Kang the Conquerer, the MCU’s new main threat. In addition, he joined Michael B. Jordan in the heavy marketing campaign for “Creed III,” building anticipation for the anime-inspired fight scenes between the two. Majors isn’t the lead in either feature, but audiences at least recognized his face plastered all over the promotional material.
Argument to Harassment:
Jabbari, his ex-girlfriend, reported to the police that Jonathan Majors strangled her. The complaint alleged that Jabbari was assaulted and his fingers were fractured. He had also complained that Jabari tried to strangle him and sustained injuries on his back, neck, and ears. Jonathan was arrested last March.
In this case, the case was heard in court. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg convicted him. The two had an argument in the taxi. As a result, Jonathan was found guilty as the evidence against Jabari’s complaint stating that he assaulted me when I got home was proved. A jury found Jonathan Majors guilty of two counts: assault in the third degree, and harassment in the second degree. The court informed that his sentence will be announced on February 6.
