Marvel, Disney Drops Jonathan Majors After Domestic Assault Conviction
Marvel, Disney Drops Jonathan Majors After Domestic Assault Conviction. Majors Guilty of Assault and Harassment
Marvel Will Change The Title of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty Confirming They are Scrapping The Character Entirely
Daily Mail 20 DEC 2023
Just one day after being found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex girlfriend Grace Jabbari, there is more fallout from Jonathan Majors' Marvel exit.
The superhero studio had previously named their film Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to showcase Jonathan Majors' villainous Kang.
Shortly after Majors, 34, was found guilty, Marvel dropped the actor from their upcoming projects, including The Kang Dynasty.
The studio also confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the project is now being referred to simply as Avengers 5.
Majors' Kang made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in the 2021 Disney Plus TV series Loki and was set up as the MCU's next major villain in this year's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania.
The studio has also re-cast William Hurt's character Thunderbolt Ross after he passed away in March 2022, with Harrison Ford playing him in Captain America: Brave New World, in theaters February 14, 2025.
Still, it seems Marvel is scrapping the character in its entirety, with the studio bringing in Loki creator Michael Waldron was brought on to rewrite the script.
