Jonathan Majors is out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A spokesperson for Marvel confirmed to Business Insider Monday afternoon that the "Loki" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" star won't feature in any more projects.
"We will not be moving forward with Jonathan Majors," the company spokesperson told Business Insider less than two hours a New York jury convicted Majors of domestic violence charges.
Majors was found guilty just before 3 p.m. of reckless assault and harassment at a New York City trial.
Prosecutors proved that Majors broke Grace Jabbari's finger during a dispute in the back of a hired car in Chinatown on March 24. Jabbari believed Majors had been texting another woman and when she grabbed his phone, there was an altercation that led to Jabbari's injuries. Prosecutors said he also hit Jabbari in the head with an open hand.
Majors denied the abuse, and his lawyer tried to prove to a jury that Jabbari injured herself later in the night, after partying at a night club with her friends.
Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, called Jabbari a liar. She said that her client's biggest fear came true when Majors called 911 to report finding his then-girlfriend unconscious in his apartment, only to be arrested himself.
Chaudhry left the Manhattan courthouse Monday without commenting on the verdict.
The rising star was set to play Kang the Conquerer, Marvel's next major villain, and recently starred in Season 2 of the hit Disney+ show "Loki."
