Marvel’s Contract Breakdown with Jonathan Majors

Marvel Studios and Walt Disney have severed contracts with actor Jonathan Majors after he was found guilty of domestic violence and stalking his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The event had a major impact on the career of the actor, known for his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel franchise.

Details of the incident:
The incident occurred in March when, during an argument, Majors allegedly twisted Jabbari’s arm, causing her “unbearable pain,” and punched her in the head. As a result, Jabbari suffered a broken finger, bruises and a cut behind her ear. After the conflict, Majors left the scene.

Trial:
At trial, which lasted two weeks, Jabbari testified that she was physically abused by Majors after she read romantic messages on his phone. Majors was found guilty on one of the four charges against him. He was convicted of third-degree assault and second-degree stalking. This led to Marvel and Disney’s decision to end their partnership with the actor.

Implications for Marvel:
For Marvel Studios, the case has caused major reconsiderations for their franchises that Majors was involved in. The company will have to make a decision on the future development of projects that involved the actor.
