According to several sources close to the company, Marvel Studios has officially parted ways with actor Jonathan Majors, who played character Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This news comes hours after a jury found Majors guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault.
The character of Kang was expected to usher in the next phase for the various franchises in the 5th “Avengers” film, until various legal issues came to light. Following a writers’ shakeup, the film, which had been titled “Avengers: Kang Dynasty,” will now be called “Avengers 5.”
Majors will be sentenced on February 6th, 2024. He faces up to a year in jail.
We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news.
