On Monday, Marvel Studios cut ties with Jonathan Majors after the 34-year-old actor was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, 30-year-old choreographer Grace Jabbari, during a domestic dispute in a private vehicle earlier this year.

Majors starred as Kang the Conquerer in the Marvel Universe, and was slated to appear in upcoming installments, including "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty," set to drop in 2025.

According to Variety, Marvel Studios announced that it would no longer be working with Majors shortly after his verdict was handed down in a Manhattan court room.

His talent manager, Entertainment 360, has also cut ties, as have a number of other films he was involved in. Ad campaigns created by the Texas Rangers and US Army featuring Majors have also been pulled.

On Monday, a nine-person jury found him guilty of one misdemeanor assault charge and one harassment violation. He was acquitted on two other charges, aggravated harassment and assault.
 

"It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari's story of what happened in the SUV," Majors' attorney Priya Chaudhry said, per NBC News, "because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that."

She added that Majors "still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name."

He is set to be sentenced on February 6, and could face up to one year in prison.

Majors was arrested on March 25 after Jabbari accused him of assaulting her while the pair sat in the back seat of a private vehicle. According to Variety, after Jabbari spotted a text from another woman on Majors' phone, she grabbed it and exited the vehicle. He responded by forcefully taking his phone back before smacking her in the head and trying to pull her back inside.

During the trial, text messages between Majors and Jabbari and an audio recording were released by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in which the former appeared to be pleading with the latter not to go to the hospital to have her injuries tended to. He told her he was "a great man" who was "doing great things, not just for me, but for my culture and the world."
