Deadline reports that Majors’ talent manager Entertainment 360 has parted ways with the actor three weeks after his arrest. His PR company, The Lede Company, had also dropped Majors last month. Majors was also supposed to be a guest at the Met Gala this year, but has ‘mutually agreed’ with fashion house Valentino that he shouldn’t be pushing through.

With Majors being set up to be the big bad of the next Avengers movie, a lot of fans are wondering how Marvel is dealing with the news. Sure his lawyers had released a text of his alleged victim apologizing for getting Majors arrested, but a lot of people think that it only made the situation worse.

For now, Majors is set to appear before a judge on May 8, facing multiple counts of harassment and assault. Majors’ lawyer had released the statement, “Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows… We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.”

Majors is set to make an appearance as a Kang variant in Loki Season 2 which is expected to premiere on Disney+ sometime this year.

According to Variety, Majors was arrested last Saturday and charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment in what the NYPD called a ‘domestic dispute.’ While the internet is currently abuzz with Majors becoming Marvel’s Ezra Miller, his defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry has confirmed there is evidence that will prove Majors’ innocence.

She says:

“We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently…

“All the evidence proves that Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever… Unfortunately, this incident came about because this woman was having an emotional crisis, for which she was taken to a hospital yesterday. The NYPD is required to make an arrest in these situations, and this is the only reason Mr. Majors was arrested. We expect these charges to be dropped soon.”

For now, fans are currently speculating online on what really went down with Majors and the victim, who was said to be Majors’ girlfriend. If anything, this is certainly the wrong time for this kind of scandal in Majors’ career; especially with him being set up to Marvel’s next Thanos.

Hopefully this all gets cleared up soon. After all, Marvel is also juggling another issue with their recently fired executive who was said to have been fired for the wrong reasons.

Just in, we have the first trailer for Creed III starring Majors and Michael B. Jordan. Watch this:

Here’s the film synopsis:

After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) has been thriving in both his career and family life. When a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damian (Jonathan Majors), resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damian – a fighter who has nothing to lose.

So far, the Creed movies have had someone different at the helm for every entry, and this time around, Michael B. Jordan himself has been put in the director’s chair. The story of the film though, still comes from original Creed director Ryan Coogler.

With the past Creed movies dealing with the legacy of the Rocky franchise, it’s interesting that they should give Adonis his own original villain that he has a history with personally. I have to say, Majors looks like an absolute beast in this trailer, and I can’t wait to see him go all out against Jordan onscreen. Pretty sure a lot of people are also going to use his role here to hype up his Avengers villain Kang.

Creed III comes to theaters March 3, 2023.
