From Deadline
Jonathan Majors is out of the Marvel Studios kingdom. The news comes in the wake of the Primetime Emmy nominated actor being found guilty of reckless assault and harassment in his domestic violence trial by a six-person NYC jury.
A studio rep confirmed the news about the decision not to move forward with Majors in the MCU.
Majors played mega villain He Who Remains aka Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s phases four through six. Majors debuted as the character during Loki season one in 2021, then continued on in season 2 of this year, as well as the February movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which made over $476M. Majors also had back-to-back hit in Amazon MGM’s Creed III in March which grossed over $275M. He Who Remains was plotted to be a big baddie during the MCU’s Phase 5 and 6 with the character getting his own movie, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty scheduled for May 1, 2026. That movie recently saw its director, Shang Chi‘s Destin Daniel Cretton exit due to his dance card on other Marvel projects.
