Marvel is keeping Jonathan Majors as Kang, but the actor has been fired from these other projects

Jonathan Majors’ Future As Marvel’s Phase 5 Villain Kang The Conqueror Is Still Up In The Air following news that Majors was arrested for alleged assault on his partner in late March. Marvel, for the moment, keeps the actor in his role pending clarification of the investigation into what happened, but others have not been so patient and have chosen to cut ties in the bud to avoid the bad image.

According to police authorities, The actor was handcuffed and detained on Saturday morning, March 25, in Manhattan, where Majors resides, on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment.. The alleged victim, a 30-year-old woman, alerted the police with visible signs and marks of violence on her face and neck, alleging that she had had a domestic dispute with the actor and that he proceeded to attack her.

In addition to the accusations of gender violence, several voices were raised against Majors after learning of his arrest to denounce his alleged abusive behavior throughout his career. tim nicolaidirector and Broadway actor, stated on social media that “The people at Yale and the New York community in general have known him for years. He is a sociopath and abuser and that’s how practically everyone talks about him. It’s a shame it took so long to report it.”

All this has caused the representation agency Entertainment 360 and its publicist The Lede Company have broken their relations with Majors, who has also been fired from several projects he was working on. Majors was set to star in and produce The Man in My Basement, an adaptation of the Walter Mosley novel, alongside Willem Dafoe. Deadline informs that Majors will be replaced.

The Texas Rangers baseball team have also ruled out working with Majors in their 2023 season ad campaign. ‘Otis and Zelma’, a biopic about the singer Otis Redding for which Majors was the main candidate to star in, is another of the projects that have fallen for the actor.

At the moment, as we said before, Marvel has not made a move, and Majors has also been announced to re-team with Spike Lee in ‘Da Understudy’, from Amazon Studios, and to play former NBA player Dennis Rodman in Lionsgate’s ’48 Hours in Vegas’.

Majors’ defense attorney, Priya Chaundry, posted text messages in which the woman Majors had the altercation with, allegedly his partner seemed to take the blame for the fight (which does not justify Majors reacting violently, in any case)and it seems to be the line of defense with which the interpreter will try to clear his name.
