Marvel star Jonathan Majors - Found guilty in court
Marvel star Jonathan Majors (34) has been convicted of two counts of assault and harassment against his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari (30). As reported by "Sky News", a New York court dismissed further charges on Monday.
He had hoped for an acquittal
The charges against the US actor stem from an argument between him and his British ex-girlfriend that began in the back seat of a car in New York City. Jabbari, a 30-year-old dancer, accused Majors of assaulting her in the vehicle, causing her "excruciating" pain. She said he hit her on the head, twisted her arm behind her back and squeezed her middle finger until it was broken.
Majors' lawyers claimed she was the aggressor and flew into a rage after reading a text message on his phone sent by another woman.
Majors said he had hoped for an acquittal, but the jury saw it differently. Majors, who was asked to stand and face the jury when the verdict was read, showed no immediate reaction in court. A judge will render his verdict on February 6.
Marvel draws consequences
Marvel Studios, meanwhile, has already reacted and removed the actor from the program after he was found guilty.
Jonathan Majors is a star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and starred in the series and films "Loki" (2021, 2023) and "Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania" (2023) - and was set to star in the next Avengers movie, but after the verdict, that's likely history. A spokesperson for the Walt Disney film studio said that the actor would no longer appear in future projects.
Since his arrest in March, Majors has lost various acting roles and endorsement deals, and his "Magazine Dreams" was also taken off the market earlier this month.
