According

Marvel
announced
dropping
Jonathan
Majors
as
its
big
bad
villain
after
his
conviction
for
domestic
abuse.

“Marvel
Studios
has
parted
ways
with
Jonathan
Majors
—
the
actor
cast
to
play
Kang,
the
central
antagonist
in
the
Multiverse
Saga
of
the
Marvel
Cinematic
Universe
—
after
he
was
convicted
on
Dec.
18
of
two
misdemeanor
counts
of
harassment
and
assault
of
Grace
Jabbari,
his
ex-girlfriend,”
a
source
close
to
the
studio
confirmed
the
decision
to

Variety.

The
company
is
currently
searching
for
a
replacement.
Rumors
have
it
that
Marvel
is
considering

Damson
Idris
or

Colman
Domingo
as
options.

Domingo
previously
expressed
his

desire
to
play
a
villain
for
Marvel.
He
even
pointed
out
that
he’s
physically
fit
enough
for
the
job.

Majors
appeared
on

Good
Morning
America
for
an
exclusive
interview
since
being
found
guilty.

He
had
one
important
question
for
the
court.

“I’m
standing
there
and
the
verdict
comes
down.
I
say,
‘How
is
that
possible?’
Based
off
the
evidence
—
based
off
the
prosecution’s
evidence,
let
alone
our
evidence
—
how
is
that
possible?”

He
went
on
to
say,
“I’m
a
great
man.
A
great
man.
I
am
doing
great
things.
The
woman
that
supports
me,
the
one
I
support,
needs
to
be
a
great
woman
and
make
sacrifices.”

His
newfound
love,

Ms.
Megan
Good,
watched
supportively
in
the
corner
as
he
expressed
his
truth
to
the
world.

Do
you
agree
with
these
studios’
decision
to
drop
Majors?
