What seemed to be going so well for Jonathan Majors turned into a real-life nightmare for the actor when the accusations were brought up against him. With alleged counts of strangulation and assault, the actor is in a hailstorm of negative publicity that could potentially end his career.
Although being dropped out of several projects, Marvel Studios had decided not to kick out Majors yet as he is set to portray Kang the Conqueror in the MCU. The newly emerging speculated reports are disturbing since it is alleged that the misdemeanor that Majors allegedly committed was done with one of the crew members of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!
The Jonathan Majors Case Gets More Complicated?
Until some time ago, Jonathan Majors was very firmly attached to portraying the role of Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even after the allegations and accusations were brought up, Marvel went with the “innocent until proven guilty” practice and continued their partnership with Majors as the actor claimed “not guilty” to the accusations.
Well, it’s not as simple as it looks. According to various rumors and speculated articles, it has been alleged that the accuser was once employed by Marvel! According to an article in the New York Post, a woman, who has been identified by the name of Grace Jabbari, was officially credited as the “movement coach” in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
In the article, video footage of Jabbari partying was captured. She looked uninjured but since it was security camera footage, the video is blurry which cannot confirm anything. Priya Chaudhary, the lawyer of Jonathan Majors stated that Majors was the victim in this scenario and not the reverse.
Claims of a woman calling the actor 32 times and alleged threats of suicide have made the case more complicated than before. Priya Chaudhary also stated that the video showcased Jabbari “clearly coaching her to say that Mr. Majors grabbed her by the throat.” This was clearly too much to handle for the people as demands for a recast began circulating around the internet.
Suggested: Josh Brolin Earned $15 Million Less Than Jonathan Majors to Play Thanos in Avengers: Endgame
Fans Demand Jonathan Majors Be Recast Following Evidence!
With the video footage available on the internet, fans think that this was the final straw for the Creed III actor in the MCU. With demands to remove the actor from the franchise, people took to Twitter to offer their angry words at the actor.
Marvel definitely recasting him if that’s the case, I guess we’ll see

So one of the victims works for Marvel? If that’s the case then it’s a bigger deal on Marvel’s side because it leads to their company which also leads to the higher chance of Kang getting recasted

Just fire him already marvel. He’s not that great of an actor and obviously he is an abuser. Recast and move on…

Although the evidence is not yet a concrete piece of information, the PR alone could be enough to drown Majors’ career down the gutter. If Marvel were to leave his hands, the actor will probably have a hard time getting attached to another project. The trial of this ordeal is set for a date of 8th May as he is set to appear in court for what would probably a sensational courtroom case.
