Jonathan Majors dropped by his talent agency amid domestic violence charges
Jonathan Majors, an actor who is facing domestic violence charges, has been dropped by his talent agency, Entertainment 360.
The charges stem from an alleged incident of assault and harassment involving a 30-year-old woman, and Majors is scheduled to appear in court on May 8th. According to a report from Deadline, both his talent agency and his PR firm Lede have dropped him recently.
“Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows,” Majors’ criminal defence attorney Priya Chaudhry said in a March 27 statement. “We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.”
Majors recently starred in Creed III against Michael B. Jordan. Following the allegations, the US Army pulled a series of ads featuring the actor.
The victim was reported to have suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital after the alleged altercation, which took place on 25 March. Majors has denied the allegations. His lawyers recently released text messages between Majors and the unnamed woman in question.
“I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone”, one of the texts read.
Majors’ future in Hollywood is currently in flux. He recently starred in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and his character, Kang the Conqueror, is supposed to be the next big villain in the MCU.
He is also due to play a big part in season 2 of Loki, which is due out this summer. Marvel has also scheduled Avengers: Kang Dynasty for 2025, which will be the first Avengers film since Avengers: Endgame. But it now seems unlikely Majors will remain in the MCU in such capacity.
