The actor's future in the industry remains uncertain as legal experts predict he may appeal the conviction, while fans and insiders speculate on potential recasts for his character, Kang.

  • Actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, leading to his immediate dismissal from Marvel Studios.
  • Majors, who played Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was acquitted on another assault charge and one count of aggravated harassment.
