Jonathan Majors is no longer a part of the Marvel cinematic universe. The actor, who played the role of Kang, was recently found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Marvel Studios representative has confirmed that the studio has dropped Jonathan from MCU. This decision comes after the jury found out that Jonathan attacked Grace Jabbari earlier this year in March.
