Allegations of abuse against Kang actor Jonathan Majors have taken a dramatic turn as multiple alleged victims have come forward and are cooperating with the Manhattan district attorney’s office. The development was first reported by Variety.
Jonathan Majors, who rose to fame with his role in the HBO series Lovecraft Country before being cast as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was arrested in March in Manhattan on charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment. The alleged victim, a woman who worked with him on a film project, claimed that Majors assaulted her during a dispute.
The news of additional accusers comes on the heels of Jonathan Majors’ publicists and management firm severing ties with him. Despite the mounting allegations, his attorney, Priya Chaudhry, maintains Majors’ innocence and says they have provided evidence to the district attorney that the charges are false.
Jonathan Majors’ Future as Kang in Doubt Amid Abuse Claims
The situation has put Jonathan Majors’ Marvel Cinematic Universe future in quesion. Majors is set to reprise his role as Kang in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, which is slated to hit theaters in May 2025, with the 33-year-old actor expected to earn a hefty $20 million payday, including back-end compensation. He is also signed on to appear in Avengers: Secret Wars, at least for the time being.
Disney, which owns Marvel Studios, is said to be closely monitoring the situation and has time to make a decision before production begins on The Kang Dynasty. However, Variety has revealed that the alleged victim in the Manhattan incident also worked on Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, in which Jonathan Majors had a prominent role. This could potentially create a conflict for the studio as it decides how to handle the situation.
As the situation with Jonathan Majors unfolds, it remains to be seen how Disney will respond. While his attorney maintains his innocence, the cooperation of multiple alleged victims with the district attorney’s office suggests that the case is far from over.
