Per Comicbook.com, former Marvel star Jonathan Majors was heartbroken after being fired from the company.
In the article, Majors discusses the moment which occurred in a car just after his trial where he learned the jury had convicted him of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment. A member of his legal team shared the news.
Majors remembers the moment, saying, “He goes, ‘I’m just gonna tell you now. That way you’re not surprised, and you can start processing it. They fired you. Marvel fired you.’”

When asked about the time during and immediately after the trial, which saw Majors dropped by his manager and publicity firm as well as Marvel, Majors said, “There were days when it was like, ‘Is this real?’ It’s a heartbreak like I’ve never experienced and it just compounded and compounded.”
Majors made his debut as a Kang variant called He Who Remains in the season one finale of “Loki.” He reprised that role and appeared as another variant, Victor Timely, in “Loki” season two. He also portrayed the villainous Kang in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” Kang was meant to be the next major villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Multiverse Saga; however, they have shifted gears and are now focusing on Dr. Doom played by Robert Downey Jr..
Majors was arrested on March 25, 2023 after 30-year-old woman claimed he had assaulted her and she sustained minor injuries. Prior to being fired by Marvel, Major’s management and PR teams dropped him, as well. At the trial, he was sentenced to one year of domestic abuse counseling.
Majors has an upcoming film titled “Magazine Dreams” which will hit theaters on March 21 after it debuted at Sundance over two years ago. He went on to say that he has been in talks with other productions companies about a new “superhero-related project.” He did state that it would not be with Marvel or DC.
