Majors' lawyer also spoke out on Monday and said they will still work toward 'clearing his name.'
Following Jonathan Majors' guilty verdict on Monday, Disney and Marvel Studios have cut ties with the actor. Majors portrayed Kang the Conqueror, and was positioned to be a major player in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
ET has learned Disney/Marvel have parted ways with Majors and will not be moving forward on any projects he was previously attached to star in. This includes Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027).
Both projects were in the early stages of development and neither had a start of production date or shooting schedule determined as of yet.
No information regarding Marvel's plans for dealing with the situation -- i.e. recasting the character or changing narrative directions -- have yet been announced. Deadline was the first to report the news.
On Monday, the Creed III star was found guilty of one count of assault and one count of harassment but acquitted of two other counts in a split verdict. Majors was found not guilty on one count of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree. The verdict came after about five hours of deliberations over portions of three days.
Following the verdict being read, Majors' lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, released a statement to ET addressing the outcome of the trial.
"It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that," Chaudhry stated. "We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him."
"Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months," the statement added. "Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name."
Judge Michael Gaffey said that Majors' sentencing will be announced on Feb. 6. The 34-year-old actor faces up to a year in jail: third-degree assault is a class A misdemeanor that carries with it a maximum sentence of one year in jail, while second-degree harassment is a violation punishable by up to 15 days in jail.
Majors was ordered to stay away from his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The Creed III star faced the jury and at one point looked down as the verdicts were being read, an eyewitness tells ET. His girlfriend, Meagan Good, appeared upset.
In a statement to ET, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said, "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. 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."
