Actor Jonathan Majors has broken his silence following his assault conviction and subsequent departure from Marvel Studios. Majors, who was arrested in March 2023 and convicted of misdemeanor assault and harassment in December, recently spoke to ABC News Live about the impact of the verdict on his life and career.

During the interview with ABC's Linsey Davis, Majors disputed the jury's decision, claiming that it did not align with the evidence presented in the trial. The case revolved around an altercation between Majors and his former girlfriend Grace Jabbari, which erupted when Jabbari discovered a text from another woman on Majors' phone. While Jabbari alleged that Majors forcefully grabbed her arm and caused injuries including cuts, bruises, and a broken finger, Majors refuted these claims, maintaining his innocence.

One significant consequence of Majors' conviction was the termination of his role in Marvel Studios. The actor opened up about the emotional impact of losing his role as Kang, expressing how it felt like the "world stopped" when he learned the news. However, Majors remains optimistic about his future in Hollywood, stating that he hopes to continue acting.

In response to Majors' statements, Jabbari's attorney criticized his lack of accountability and remorse for his actions. The attorney emphasized that Majors' recent comments demonstrated a clear absence of contrition.

While Marvel Studios has yet to announce their plans for the character Kang after parting ways with Majors, there are speculations about how they will proceed. Kang has already appeared in two Marvel Cinematic Universe projects and was expected to be the primary antagonist in 2026's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. The studio could opt to recast the role or distance themselves from the character altogether due to the association with Majors.

Furthermore, reports suggest that Marvel Studios might consider shifting focus to a different antagonist for the remaining chapters of the Multiverse Saga. There have been rumors that executives had contemplated sidelining Kang even before Majors' conviction. With only Deadpool 3 set for release in 2024, the studio has some time to deliberate and make decisions regarding Kang's future in the MCU.

Viewers had the opportunity to catch snippets of the interview on Good Morning America, with the full interview set to air on ABC News Live's Prime with Linsey Davis on Monday at 7 PM EST. As fans await Marvel Studios' official announcement, the fate of Kang and the future direction of the Multiverse Saga remain intriguing points of speculation.
