The internet has always tended to operate on the basis of somebody being guilty until proven innocent, and while Jonathan Majors was unquestionably arrested following an alleged assault, the actor and his team have dismissed the allegations as entirely false and have vowed to prove his innocence.
However, it didn’t take long for claims to emerge that it’s been a consistent pattern of behavior dating back years for the Creed III villain and current big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but a concrete judgement can’t be passed until all of the facts are out in the open and we discover what the immediate future holds for Majors.
The worst case scenario for the 33 year-old on a personal level is that one of the most promising careers in the industry could be over before it’s even gotten started, which could in turn put Marvel in a predicament when the studio has bet big on Majors carrying the antagonistic side of the franchise for at least another three years until the release of Avengers: Secret Wars.
Naturally, almost as soon as word of his arrest began to spread, fans were out in force demanding that Kevin Feige recast the role of Kang the Conqueror as quickly as possible before the situation spirals into an avalanche of bad buzz.
As mentioned, Majors and his representatives have vowed to clear his name, so we’re nowhere close to finding out the indisputable truth of the matter. For now, then, the future of the Multiverse Saga has been brandished with a huge question mark regarding its end-of-level boss, which should admittedly be the last thing on anybody’s minds right now.
