Ever since his arrest for Domestic Violence back in March, a lot of people have been wondering about Jonathan Majors and his future. While it certainly looked like Marvel was going to have to recast Kang the Conqueror, it seems that Majors has been proven innocent.
NewsWeek reports that Majors has won his domestic violence case filed by his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. Multiple witnesses were said to have come forward to claim that Majors was not seen harming Jabbari, and the story was actually the other way around.
Majors’ lawyer Priya Chaudhry said, “Within hours of viewing the evidence, and conducting their own thorough investigation, the NYPD found probable cause to arrest Grace Jabbari for assaulting Jonathan Majors.”
For now the case still isn’t completely closed, and Majors is set to face court again this coming August. There are even reports going around that Majors is counter-suing Jabbari for falsely accusing him of a crime and supposedly ruining his career.
Should the matter be settled, we should expect Marvel Studios to breath one huge sigh of relief; seeing that they are currently hyping Majors up to be the next big bad in their franchise. Otherwise, fans have already been pitching several other options should they decide to recast—like Chukwudi Iwuji who had done a stellar performance as the High Evolutionary in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Majors is set to reprise the role of Kang in the second season of Loki which is set to come out this year. You can also catch him in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania which is now streaming on Disney+.
