Marvel is parting ways with Jonathan Majors.
EW can confirm that the studio is officially cutting ties with the 34-year-old actor, who plays the villain Kang the Conqueror.
Majors was set to star in multiple Marvel projects, including the upcoming Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but was dropped just hours after a jury found him guilty on two counts after a March domestic dispute.
The actor headlined Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as Kang the Conqueror, a time-traveling villain who would anchor the studio's upcoming projects.
He also appeared in Loki season 1 and season 2.
Like Thanos, Kang was expected to pop up in multiple films and TV shows, culminating with 2026's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars.
In a split verdict, a Manhattan jury found Majors guilty on one count of third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment, but acquitted the actor on two other counts. Per ABC News, he is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 6, 2024, and he faces up to a year in prison.
