It appeared as though 2023 would be his year at the beginning of the year because to the villain Kang the Conqueror's MCU debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and his scene-stealing performance in Creed III. But in the past month, there have been rumours and accusations of assault, which have resulted in the actor being charged with a crime, which is swiftly changing Majors' existence in Hollywood.
Here is a timeline of Jonathan Majors' legal troubles from his initial arrest, which occurred about a month ago.
The Complaints Jonathan Majors Faces
According to information released by the Manhattan District Attorney's office on March 25, 2023, Jonathan Majors had been charged and detained on "several counts of assault in the third degree, three counts of attempted assault in the third degree, one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree, and one count harassment in the second degree." After a violent altercation, Majors is suspected of strangling a 30-year-old woman who was allegedly his lover in a New York cab. With "minor injuries to her head and neck," she was transferred to the hospital, according to the authorities.
Majors' representative issued a statement after the original report stating he had "done nothing wrong" and that his name will be cleared. Additionally, Majors' attorney stated that the actor was "completely innocent" and "probably the victim." Additionally, according to his counsel, there is video footage, taxi driver and other witness testimony, as well as text messages from the victim, which demonstrate his innocence. Two directors, A.B. Allen and Tim Nicolai, on the other hand, spoke out against the actor being supposedly "vicious, cruel," and a "abuser."
The American Army suspends their campaign with Jonathan Majors
The U.S. Army chose to halt an advertisement campaign that included Jonathan Majors shortly after hearing about this event, announcing that it is "deeply concerned" about the claims made against the Creed III actor in a statement. According to reports, the "Be All You Can Be" recruitment campaign cost the U.S. Army $117 million in total, making the decision to end it a major setback.
In addition, despite the fact that Jonathan Majors is his main co-star, Michael B. Jordan failed to post a single image of him on social media to advertise the release of his boxing movie a couple of weeks ago. This indicates that major contributors are severing their connections with the actor
Majors was not invited to the Met Gala and was fired by his PR and managers.
According to a Monday report by Deadline, Jonathan Majors has also stopped working at his PR business, The Lede Company, and his talent manager at Entertainment 360 has also severed connections with the Marvel actor. The same report stated that Majors and the clothing brand Valentino had "mutually agreed" to not work together at the Met Gala, disinviting him from the enormous occasion.
The allegations against Majors are scheduled to be heard by a court on May 8, and it is from there that we shall learn more about the incident. Given that he's slated to portray the major villain in the MCU, anything happens might have an impact on forthcoming Marvel films.
