Jonathan Majors, an American actor known for his compelling performances, gained prominence with roles in films like The Harder They Fall (2021), Devotion (2022), and Creed III (2023). In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), he portrayed Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) and appeared as other variants of Kang in the Disney+ series Loki (2021–2023).
However, in December 2023, Majors was convicted of assault and harassment involving his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. This led Marvel Studios to sever ties with him, resulting in the cancellation of his planned appearances in upcoming MCU projects, including Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.
In a recent interview, Majors discussed learning about his dismissal from Marvel immediately after his conviction. He expressed hope for redemption and a return to acting, despite the career setbacks. Majors also revealed that he had experienced sexual abuse from both men and women starting at the age of 9, a trauma he has been addressing through therapy.
Despite these challenges, Majors continues to receive support from industry peers, including Matthew McConaughey, Michael B. Jordan, and Whoopi Goldberg. He remains optimistic about his acting career, with his recent film Magazine Dreams, where he portrays an aspiring bodybuilder, showcasing his ongoing commitment to his craft.
