Actor Jonathan Majors (33), who played the villain ‘Kang the Conqueror’ in the movie ‘Ant-Man 3’, has been arrested by the police on charges of assaulting a woman.
‘Conqueror Kang’ is a character that will appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after ‘Thanos’, so much attention is paid to what kind of punishment he will receive.
According to the Associated Press, on the 25th (local time), at around 11:14 am, a report of a ‘family discord’ was received by 911 in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, New York.
Police officers who responded to the scene obtained a statement that a 30-year-old woman was assaulted by Majors. The victim was taken to a local hospital with minor head and neck injuries.
Majors was arrested by the police and later released. An NYPD official said Majors was not currently in custody.
Majors denied the allegations, saying, “He did nothing wrong.” “Majers was the victim of an altercation with a woman he knew,” said lawyer Priya Choudhri, who claimed the woman was going through an “emotional crisis.”
The lawyer emphasized, “There is evidence of innocence, such as the video filmed in the vehicle where the incident occurred, the statements of witnesses such as the driver, and the statement of the woman withdrawing her claim of damage.”
The US military stopped airing TV commercials featuring him. The U.S. Army said, “We are deeply concerned about the allegations regarding the arrest of Majors.”
Jonathan Majors is considered one of Hollywood’s fastest rising stars. He debuted in 2011 with ‘Two Not Disturb’ and played a main supporting role in a number of works such as ‘Montana’, ‘Jungle Land’ and ‘The Harder Dayfall’. In the recently released movie ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania’ (Ant-Man 3), he appeared as Kang, the most powerful villain in MCU history and the conqueror of the universe, and is attracting attention.
