Jonathan Majors, who was once considered a rising star in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is now facing career uncertainty after his ex-girlfriend accused him of assault.
He has been released on bail, but his future as Kang seems to be in jeopardy.
Majors, who has appeared in several popular films and brand campaigns, including Antman and The Wasp: Quantumania, has suffered another major blow to his career due to these allegations.
His girlfriend’s claims have already put all studios at a standstill regarding the success of their ventures starring him.
The actor recently starred in Creed III alongside fellow Marvel actor Michael B. Jordan, which is set to appear on Amazon Prime Video.
However, despite Majors’ performance being much appreciated and applauded, Amazon has chosen to drop him from all its marketing campaigns.
During the marketing promotion of the movie, there were no mentions of Majors or even glimpses of him, even though he is the lead and primary antagonist.
Amazon’s social media posts focused solely on Michael B. Jordan.
Before the release of the movie, it was widely believed that Majors’ involvement in the major franchise among his growing stardom as a Marvel star would help Creed III gain significant attention and success.
However, his assault case and arrest have put a halt to all studios regarding the success of their ventures starring Jonathan Majors.
In the Amazon social media campaign for Creed III, only one shot of Majors’ character can be seen, and that too from behind.
With him being deliberately ignored, the actor’s career seems to be hanging by a thread.
Jonathan Majors’ legal troubles not only jeopardize his career but also any project involving him.
As he is an integral part of Marvel, it is unclear what the studio has in mind for him and his character.
Majors’ Kang is among the main antagonists of Loki Season 2 and the rest of Phase 6 of Marvel.
Although Marvel has already planned its future projects starring him, reports suggest that the studio is considering replacing the actor if the need arises.
An insider also reported that Marvel had already thought of an actor who could potentially replace Majors.
While no confirmation has been given from the studio itself, it seems reasonable that they may wait until the verdict is delivered.
In conclusion, Jonathan Majors’ career is in a state of uncertainty after allegations of assault by his ex-girlfriend.
Despite being a rising star in the Marvel universe, he has faced another major blow as Amazon has dropped him from all marketing campaigns for Creed III.
His future with Marvel is also uncertain, and there are reports that the studio may replace him if the need arises.
