As if we didn’t see this one coming like a ton of bricks!? But Marvel has DROPPED Jonathan Majors after his guilty verdict for assault and harrassment!

Jonathan Majors, who was one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising stars before misdemeanor domestic-violence charges halted his ascent, was found guilty of assault and harassment on Monday for attacking his girlfriend in a car in Manhattan.

Shortly after a six-person jury in Manhattan announced the verdict, Marvel Studios parted ways with the actor, a spokeswoman for the company said.

The jury acquitted Mr. Majors on two counts that had required prosecutors to show that he had acted with intent — one of assault and one of harassment. But jurors found Mr. Majors guilty on the two other charges after more than five hours of deliberation.

The verdict thwarted Mr. Majors’s hopes of salvaging his career by proving his innocence in the March altercation. His future in the film industry is now clouded, and he could face just under a year in jail. His sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 6.

Marvel Studios had intended to build several films around the villainous character he played in “Quantumania” and had been waiting for the outcome of the criminal case before deciding whether to continue. Mr. Majors was scheduled to lead “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” which had been scheduled for 2026.

The studio will now move forward with the movie without Mr. Majors, said the company’s spokeswoman, Angela Shaw. It recently hired the screenwriter Michael Waldron to work on a new script.
