Why are fans comparing Jonathan Majors to Ezra Miller controversies
Jonathan Majors' recent legal troubles have created shockwaves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following his dismissal by the brand on Monday.
The actor, known for his roles in «Loki» and «Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania» as Kang/He Who Must Remain and Victor Timely, was terminated by Marvel Studios following a guilty verdict from a New York jury for assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend.
After a two-week trial on domestic violence that ended on Monday, Majors may be sentenced to a maximum of one year in jail. He was found guilty on two misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment but acquitted of two other charges related to assault and harassment.
The verdict, along with Marvel's strong stance, has led some social media users to draw parallels with the controversy involving Ezra Miller during The Flash.
Miller garnered attention in Reykjavík, Iceland, as early as April 2020 when a video surfaced, suggesting his involvement in an incident where he allegedly choked and threw a woman to the ground.
In 2022, the actor faced arrest in Hawaii, being charged with disorderly conduct and harassment. This legal trouble ensued after he declined to vacate a woman's residence, with whom he had previously engaged in a consensual sexual relationship, leading to a criminal complaint.
Upon the release of DCU's The Flash, there were widespread debates about whether it should be excluded from future projects, as some moviegoers called for its abandonment or boycott. The film premiered in theaters in June of this year.
