Marvel Star Jonathan Majors Allegedly Assaulted Woman, Management Ends Collaboration Is Marvel now threatened with the end?
Marvel star Jonathan Majors (33) hit the headlines a few weeks ago when a 30-year-old woman in New York made serious allegations against the actor. Majors, who last appeared in the MCU’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” is said to have attacked the woman and inflicted minor injuries on her head and neck. She had to be admitted to a hospital. The star denies the allegations. A first hearing in court is scheduled for May 8th.
Is Jonathan Majors Getting Fired From Marvel Studios, Too?
Now the US industry journal “Deadline” reportsthat Los Angeles-based artist agency Entertainment 360 has ended its collaboration with the rising superstar. A few weeks earlier, Majors had also been fired by his PR company. Entertainment 360 has some of Hollywood’s biggest names among its clients. Margot Robbie (32), Michelle Pfeiffer (64) and star director James Mangold (59) are or were represented by the artist agency.
The report from “Deadline” states that “no talks” have taken place at Marvel about a possible dismissal of majors. However, if the above-mentioned allegations against the star were to be substantiated, there would be a high probability that this would be reconsidered.
Jonathan Major’s planned future in the MCU
Actor Majors previously appeared as a so-called variant of super villain Kang the Conqueror in the movie “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”. The star previously starred in the role on the streaming series Loki. Majors will also be involved in the upcoming second season of “Loki”. According to “Deadline”, the shooting of the series sequel has already been completed.
In the so-called phase six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Majors was originally planned to become the great Avengers enemy and main villain. It is believed that his character Kang the Conqueror in the previously announced team film “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” (2025) will make life difficult for the superheroes of the MCU, similar to Titan Thanos (Josh Brolin, 55). The shooting of this Marvel event film has not yet started, so that a change of cast does not seem to be ruled out in principle.
