The trouble seems to be getting even worse for Marvel star Jonathan Majors, as the judge in his New York case has now thrown out Majors’ counter-suit against his ex-girlfriend.
This hasn’t been the best week for Jonathan Majors, with the judge recently discarding his motion to dismiss the case ahead of the trial. The judge has now delivered yet another blow to Majors and his team, throwing out his counter-suit against his ex-girlfriend for domestic violence which the Marvel star filed back in June:
“The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has officially declined to prosecute the case against Grace Jabbari because it lacks prosecutorial merit,” a spokesperson for New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg spoke in a statement released on Thursday. “The matter is now closed and sealed.”
The cards certainly aren’t looking good for the Marvel star. In the months since his arrest, Jonathan Majors has been dropped by his management and publicist, with the role of Kang the Conqueror being one of the few roles he’s still attached to.
Jonathan Majors’ Future as Kang in Doubt Amid Abuse Claims
Jonathan Majors is currently set to reprise his role as Kang in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, which is slated to hit theaters in May 2025, with the 33-year-old actor expected to earn a hefty $20 million payday, including back-end compensation. He is also signed on to appear in Avengers: Secret Wars, at least for the time being.
Disney, which owns Marvel Studios, is said to be closely monitoring the situation and has time to make a decision before production begins on The Kang Dynasty. However, Variety has revealed that the alleged victim in the Manhattan incident also worked on Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, in which Jonathan Majors had a prominent role. This could potentially create a conflict for the studio as it decides how to handle the situation.
As the situation with Jonathan Majors unfolds, it remains to be seen how Disney will respond. While his attorney maintains his innocence, the cooperation of multiple alleged victims with the district attorney’s office suggests that the case is far from over.
