After making his Marvel movie debut with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Jonathan Majors rocked the box office with Creed III. While Majors is thriving in his professional life, his personal life doesn’t seem to follow the same. The American actor has allegedly been accused of assaulting a 30-year-old woman and was arrested by the New York Police Department on Saturday for the same.
The NYPD has released a statement regarding his arrest. However, his representatives have denied any charges, saying that Majors has done nothing wrong.

Jonathan Majors Arrested For Assualt in New York
Jonathan Majors has allegedly been charged with assault and was arrested in New York on Saturday. The NYPD responded to a 911 call from Chelsea, where a 33-year-old male and a 30-year-old female were involved in a domestic dispute.
The New York Police Department has released a statement saying, “The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident.” The victim was taken to the hospital as she sustained minor injuries to her head and neck.
It has been reported that the man involved in the incident was Jonathan Majors and he is charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment. His relationship with the victim is described as “domestic,” and he is not under police custody for now. His representatives have said that the Marvel star has done nothing wrong, and they are trying to sort out the whole situation.
Followed by the incident, Marvel fans are demanding the studio recast Kang for the upcoming films. Majors made his MCU debut with the Ant-Man threequel earlier this year and is also expected to appear in future films as well. The studio has not said anything regarding his assault charges yet.
Fans Demand Marvel to Reacst Kang
Marvel fans have started asking the studio to recast Kang in the MCU after Jonathan Majors was allegedly accused of assault and harassment. Fans took to Twitter to share their opinion on the 33-year-old actor’s behavior and how there have been indications of “big red flags” in his behavior.
"Marvel has to recast Jonathan Majors, they can't build an entire saga around an abuser" Boy do I have some news for y'all

I know this has nothing to do with severity of these incidents but… Jonathan Majors was supposed to be in Loki Season 2, Fantastic Four, Avengers Kang Dynasty of course, Avengers Secret Wars, and Agatha Coven of Chaos. With all of them centered around him. The MCU is FINISHED

and he HAS to get fired. He has to go. There is no way he can be the mainstay of MCU’s story with the victims seeing him plastered over the world, in merchandise, in everything in and around film. He’s done. The MCU have to recast, and redo everything from last point of filming

Guys, with the Jonathan Majors stuff, you already know what Marvel will do. Recast. Move on. Progress.
Let's not waste energy asking about that. Right now, let's focus on the actual important real details of the situation.

literally :
Jonathan Majors has been released from his marvel contract. We wish him well in all his future endeavors. Ultimately Mr. Majors is responsible for his own actions. We hope he gets the help he needs. – Kev Feige— Joe ⚡️ excited for DC future (@Joefanatic23) March 26, 2023
The Devotion star is expected to appear in the second season of Loki and the next Avengers films The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars. Fans noted that these reports of him allegedly being an abuser is not a good indication for the studio’s upcoming projects, especially the ones that are associated with Majors.
So far, Marvel Studios has not said anything about the alleged accusations. However, fans have seemingly put out their verdict as they claim that they no longer wish to see an alleged abuser in the MCU.
