Marvel Studios has removed actor Jonathan Majors from its movie after he was convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, media reports said.
On Dec. 18, a Manhattan jury found Majors guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment following a two-week trial that stemmed from a March incident between the actor and his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
Before his arrest in March, Major was playing a crucial role in Marvel Cinematic Universe.
According to reports, the Disney-owned studio was even planning to create a stroy around Majors’ Kang the Conqueror.
