Following his conviction for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Jonathan Majors was fired by Marvel Studios.

Marvel's representative has confirmed the story to Variety, Deadline, and IndieWire.

Following Avengers, Majors was set to play a major role in the new phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In addition to Loki, he starred as Kang the Conqueror and made appearances in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Despite his demise in the Ant-Man sequel, a post-credits scene reveals that there was a different Kang variation that survived.

With Majors out of the picture, it's unclear how the MCU will change course to discover a new supervillain.

There was still no result at the end of Friday for the Majors trial in New York, where the jury had started deliberations on Thursday afternoon.

Two of the allegations, one of third-degree reckless assault and the other of harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari have now resulted in guilty verdicts from the jury.

He was found not guilty on the other two.

Judge Michael Gaffey allowed text messages, photos, audio, and video evidence to be released earlier this week.

Included in this were the actor's recorded remarks about himself as a "great man" and the 9-1-1 call made on the night of the incident.

The incident happened after Majors and Jabbari got into a heated dispute in the backseat of the chauffeured vehicle they were riding in together.

Jabbari went to a nightclub after the incident with a few strangers.

Majors discovered Jabbari unconscious in their apartment the next morning and phoned the police.

According to some of the text conversations turned over to the court, Majors discouraged Jabbari from visiting the hospital after another alleged incident in 2022.

According to a message, he warned Jabbari that "even if you do lie and they suspect something," it might still result in an investigation.

During their closing argument, Majors' defense lawyers accused Jabbari of being a "liar."

In addition, they said that she had been "revenge partying" after the alleged attack.

The 30-year-old Jabbari claimed that the actor had slapped her, thrown her into a car after she had got out, twisted her arm, and grabbed her hand, hurting it.

Lawyers for Majors claimed that Jabbari was the one who started the fight and became enraged after seeing a text message from a different lady on Majors' phone.

According to prosecutor Kelli Galaway, Majors utilized a standard playbook to portray themselves as the victim and their accuser as the aggressor in this case.

Ms Galaway said: “This is not a revenge plot to ruin the defendant’s life or his career.”

“You were asked why you are here? Because domestic violence is serious.”

On February 6, a sentencing hearing has been set.
