Jonathan Majors has been dropped by his talent manager, Deadline reports.




Talent manager Entertainment 360 has dropped Jonathan Majors, several sources tell us. The recent move by Majors’ longtime manager comes three weeks after the Magazine Dreams star was arrested on domestic violence charges in New York City.


Currently starring in Creed III and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Majors’ departure was due to issues surrounding the actor’s personal behavior, we are informed.


As a more minor element of this, Majors and fashion house Valentino “mutually agreed” that the actor would not be attending this year’s Met Gala as one of its guests.


Entertainment 360 and Lede Company did not return requests for comment.


Majors has already shot the second season of Marvel/Disney+’s Loki, in which he reprises his uber-villain role of Kang the Conqueror, and won’t go before the cameras in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty for quite some time. Deadline hears there’s been zero conversations in the Marvel camp to drop Majors from the MCU.


The actor was arrested March 25 over an alleged domestic dispute with a 30-year old woman. The unnamed victim was taken to the hospital with “minor injuries to her head and neck,” according to authorities. Majors is expected to appear before a judge May 8 as he faces multiple counts of harassment and assault from the New York City D.A.


“Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows,” Majors’ criminal defense attorney Priya Chaudhry told Deadline in a March 27 statement. “We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.”


In addition to the legal question of his innocence or guilt, many entertainment industry observers have speculated about if and when various power players would begin to sever ties with Majors. Marvel Studios has built its upcoming Phase Five film slate around Majors’ Kang the Conqueror character. Majors played the role for the first time in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and has signed on to reprise it in several subsequent films. The arc is expected to culminate in 2025’s “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and 2026’s “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Marvel Studios has yet to comment on Majors’ arrest.


Majors’ arrest in March stems from an alleged incident that occurred with a woman he’d been romantically involved with while the two were in the back of a taxi. It was reported that the woman had been hospitalized with “minor injuries” to her head and neck, and police had reportedly suspected that Majors had placed his hands around her neck during the scuffle. Majors’ attorney says that the individual has recanted these allegations in a written statement and further claims that text messages point to the Creed III star’s innocence.
