Jonathan Majors Arrested on Assault Charge in New York City

Actor Jonathan Majors, best known for his roles in “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” was arrested on Saturday morning in New York City.

The New York Police Department released a statement, saying that Majors was taken into custody following a 911 call made from an apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

The 33-year-old actor has been charged with assault, harassment, and strangulation.

According to the New York Police Department, the victim, a 30-year-old woman, reported being strangled and physically assaulted by Majors.

The victim had minor injuries to her head and neck, and Majors was subsequently charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment.

However, the actor’s spokesperson denied the accusations and insisted that Majors was innocent.

Following his arrest, the actor was released from police custody on Sunday.

Majors has been making a name for himself in Hollywood.

He received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Atticus Freeman in the HBO series “Lovecraft Country” and has become a sought-after actor.

The actor has secured a significant role with Marvel Studios, playing Kang – the primary antagonist for Marvel’s upcoming phase.

The studio plans to release the much-anticipated Avengers: The Kang Dynasty on May 2, 2025, with Majors leading the cast.

He has already debuted as Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and there are rumors that he will also appear in season two of Loki, which is expected to release later this year.

With these long-term plans and his growing reputation as a talented actor, Majors is sure to be a prominent figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the coming years.

It still remains to be seen if this incident will negatively affect his career if he is found guilty of the charges.

The incident has brought attention to the issue of domestic violence in the entertainment industry.

Many actors and industry professionals have spoken out about the need to take allegations of abuse seriously and to support victims.

Domestic violence is a serious issue, and it is important for individuals to seek help if they are in an abusive situation.

There are resources available for victims of domestic abuse, including hotlines and shelters. It is also important to hold abusers accountable for their actions, regardless of their status or fame.
