Actor Jonathan Majors has been found guilty of assaulting his then-girlfriend after a trial in New York.

The jury found Majors, known for playing Kang in the Marvel universe, attacked British choreographer Grace Jabbari during an altercation in March.

She told the court she was left with a fractured finger, bruising, a cut behind her ear and "excruciating" pain.

The crime took place when the couple were in a car in New York and Jabbari saw a text message from another woman on Majors' phone, which said: "Wish I was kissing you right now."

According to prosecutors, when she took the phone, he then grabbed her, twisted her arm behind her back and hit her in the head to get it back.

The jury found him guilty of two of the four domestic violence charges that he was facing.

He was found guilty of assault by recklessly causing physical injury, as well as harassment.

However, the jury declined to convict him on charges of aggravated harassment and assault with intent to cause physical harm.

Majors now faces up to a year in jail, with a question mark over his starring roles in forthcoming Marvel films.

Neither he nor his lawyers have issued any statement in response to his conviction.

A sentencing hearing will be held in February. The judge also issued a new protection order, requiring him to have no contact with Jabbari.

After his arrest, Marvel pushed back the release of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, in which Majors is due to play the lead villain.
