Jonathan Majors is out of the Marvel Studios kingdom. The news comes today in the wake of the Emmy-nominated actor being found guilty of reckless assault and harassment in his domestic violenc…
After having been found guilty in 2 out of 4 charges by a six-person jury, Jonatham Majors has been fired by Disney/Marvel Studios. Majors was found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment. He was found not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and not guilty of aggravated harassment in second degree.
Good for them. Life is too short to enable abusers.
Time to recast and move on. Kang is a comic book space wizard. We can suspend our disbelief that much further. Maybe choose a much older actor and let the age difference be part of the explanation.
It's gonna be a pain for the studio, but I'm glad they made the right call quickly here, instead of trying to just ignore it away like DC and Ezra Miller.
They should just pull a switcheroo and show that Oroborous was actually Kang all along and that Majors was just a pawn or perhaps a rival he was disguising himself from.
Thankfully Loki 2 put them in a good position to just nip the kang storyline in the bud. At least for now. Maybe wait a good decade or two then potentially bring back the threat of Kang with a new actor (or more).
Those texts were classic abuser manipulation. He also sounds arrogant and unhinged calling himself a great man in them.
He threatened to kill himself to the woman he was abusing the manipulate her. I wonder if he has the balls to follow through now that it's over for him.
