Emmy-nominated actor Jonathan Majors has been dropped by Marvel Studios after being convicted of assaulting his then-girlfriend.

On Monday, a jury in New York found that the 34-year-old attacked and harassed British choreographer Grace Jabbari during an argument in March.

He now faces up to a year in prison when sentenced in February.

BBC News says following the verdict, a Marvel spokesperson said the studio would no longer work with the actor.

Majors played villain Kang the Conqueror and was due to feature in multiple future Marvel films, including “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and “Avengers: Secret Wars”.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has already hired the creator of “Loki” to re-work a draft of “The Kang Dynasty”, with the new working title for the movie said to be “Avengers 5”.

It is unclear whether Marvel Studios plans to replace him with another actor or write his character out of the films.
