The verdict was reached on Monday by a six-person jury after roughly over four hours of deliberation spread across three days. Jonathan Majors, wearing a grey suit and black dress shirt and tie, sat with his attorneys, with family members and his girlfriend, Meagan Good, behind him as the verdict was read. He was found not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and not guilty of aggravated harassment in second degree. Sentencing is set for Feb. 6.

Edit:

Fired from the MCU:

 

[NecrosaroIII]

6 person jury?

 

[Ownage]

Joint PR incoming: Majors and Larson are out at MCU.

 

[Fake]

Poor MSheU.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[FunkMiller]

Oh no. Poor Disney.

 

[AJUMP23]

Who you date or have a relationship with is an important choice. How you respond to the difficulties in those relationships is also important.

 

[The Cockatrice]

and Larson

 

[Little Mac]

 

[Ulysses 31]

 

[Stitch]

The MCU right now

 

[OmegaSupreme]

He was found guilty on two of the four charges. Am I reading that right? I bet Marvel keeps him then.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

The title says found guilty of assault, harassment.
But then there's this:

He was found not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and not guilty of aggravated harassment in second degree

So what does that mean? What is actually found guilty of?

 

[Ownage]

Guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment.

 

[Revolutionary]

Weird, the Marvel fanboys told me he was innocent because he ran away from his girlfriend in the security cam footage.


And Meagan Good's dumb ass is still standing beside him

 

[FunkMiller]

Guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment.

Up to a year in jail apparently. (Yeah, right).

 

[Ownage]

Up to a year in jail apparently. (Yeah, right).

His biggest punishment is being let go from MCU. He had it all locked up too.

 

[bitbydeath]

No mention of him threatening suicide if he didn’t get his way? That’s the part that’s most damaging, even more than the “unintended” physical assault.

 

[Mihos]

Both Misdemeanors ?

 

[F0rneus]

The jury just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about MCU fan culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in normal movies where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over from the MCU, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the MCU fanbase, after hearing about this, is not going to want to support the justice system, nor will they serve on any jury duty. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but jury has alienated an entire market with this move.

Jury, publicly apologize and exonerate Jonathan Majors or you can kiss your inboxes goodbye.

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

Wait Meagan Good is dating him? Man it’s always the hot ones that are a bad judge of character innit?

Statement from the DA:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg tells TMZ, “At the Manhattan D.A.’s Office, we are committed to centering survivors in all of our work. The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion far too common across the many intimate partner violence cases we see each and every day."


Bragg continues, "Today, a jury determined that pattern of abuse and coercion culminated with Mr. Majors assaulting and harassing his girlfriend. We thank the jury for its service and the survivor for bravely telling her story despite having to relive her trauma on the stand."

Yeeeeeahhhhh Judge, I dunno what happened, I was doing my morning stretches and accidentally beat her ass.

[freefornow]

Meagan Good

it’s always the hot ones

 

[Pagusas]

So Disney going to use John Boyega now as Kang?

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Kang got defeated yet again.

 

[newtypepilot]

DC will welcome him with open arms. They will never cancel you no matter how bad you behave.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I just can't get over the blue Kang holding out his fist on the right side of this image.

It looks so ridiculously fake like it's some kind of action figure. How does this shit pass quality assurance?

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

She’s older now but my nether regions remember that one season of Californication all too well

 

[adamsapple]

 

[FunkMiller]

Disney not hanging about

 

[Skyfox]

I don't buy it.

Never liked the look of this guy but this smells like dogshit.

 

[Skyfox]

Disney not hanging about

 

[Pejo]

One of the more bizarre situations around domestic abuse that I've seen in a while. Dude definitely hired the wrong lawyers though.

Time for DOOM.

Marvel Drops Jonathan Majors After Assault, Harassment Verdict

The actor starred as Kang the Conqueror in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' and was poised to star in 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.'

www.hollywoodreporter.com

And then there were no Kangs

 

[NeoGiffer]

“Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” opening in May 2026


“Avengers: The Stark Dynasty feat. The Class Of 2012" opening ASAP!!!!!

Spoiler

 

[DragoonKain]

I'm pleasantly surprised that Marvel Studios had the stones to wait until the trial concluded to decide his fate officially. They could have fired him the second the allegations arose just like many do these days.

 

[Billbofet]

Dude's facial expression looks like he is perpetually about to kiss an older relative he doesn't want to.

 

[Celcius]

This whole situation is really unfortunate. I really liked his acting in Quantumania.

That said, replace him with Terrence Howard. Next time, baby.

 

[Redneckerz]

Majors's carreer and sentencing reaction in 4 gifs.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Can't wait for them to bring in Doom and promptly ruin him too.

 

[MayauMiao]

I wonder what that means for Loki with Kang, let alone Quantumania showing on D+.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[DeafTourette]

Doom is a shit character in the comics and movies.

I said what I said...

Bring on Galactus!

 

[Banjo64]

Should have been a crime just for those texts alone where he compared himself to civil rights activists because he acts (poorly) in the MCU.

 

[Days like these...]

No mention of him threatening suicide if he didn’t get his way? That’s the part that’s most damaging, even more than the “unintended” physical assault.

Emotional abuse is hard to prosecute. You need a diary of incidents with dates and clear descriptions texts,.video, audio.

 

[Billbofet]

I mean, the dude did have at least a solid year of everyone blowing smoke up his ass about how great he is at acting - even though he is identical in everything.

 

[MayauMiao]

I don't get why hype for Doom. As long as there are bad writers, Doom can still end up being a terrible villain.

 

[Days like these...]

Doom is a shit character in the comics and movies.

Take that L and maybe stop caping for trash people like this guy and wacko
