Controversies and Hollywood stars go hand in hand. But sometimes, such contentious news has the power to completely derail an actor’s life. The same happened with actor Jonathan Majors, who found himself at the center of a dramatic fall from grace—so much so that his dreams of being Marvel’s next major villain, Kang the Conqueror, were shattered overnight.
The actor suddenly got into major legal trouble with his ex-girlfriend, after which Disney and Marvel decided to part ways with him.
Can Jonathan Majors rebuild his career in Hollywood after his trial?
Everyone was left absolutely shocked when Jonathan Majors’ legal trouble with a former girlfriend came out in the open. He was accused of some serious charges, after which Marvel and Disney decided to end their contract with him. Now, after a long silence and following a highly publicized trial, Jonathan Majors is talking about his life in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
He dived deeper into his fallout, past struggles, and what’s coming next. Majors was on the rise to becoming one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood after Marvel picked him as its next major villain, Kang the Conqueror. But after his conviction of reckless assault and harassment in 2024, the studios cut ties with him, and his career came to a halt.
Now, in the same conversation, he reflected on his personal challenges and talked about how he plans to move ahead now. He said:
At some point there has to be accountability for writing your own story. Am I going to fall into that narrative of falling apart, of self-destruction? Have a struggle, blame the world. Have a struggle, hate yourself. Have a struggle, deny everything. None of those narratives is beneficial. Have a struggle, learn, metabolize, grow.
So instead of being angry or anything, he has decided to focus more on growth and learning from what has happened. While people have different perspectives about the actor, some of his former colleagues have continued to support him.
Michael B. Jordan has expressed his desire to work with the actor again. On the other hand, Whoopi Goldberg has mentioned that he has already faced legal consequences.
Despite this, his future at the moment remains uncertain. While his upcoming movie Magazine Dreams is still yet to be released, it would be interesting to see what the reaction of the public is. But for now, the actor is heavily focused on rebuilding his life and career.
