Just weeks after being found guilty in his assault and harassment case, Jonathan Majors has been dropped from the much-anticipated Dennis Rodman biopic ’48 Hours in Vegas.’

According to Deadline, Lionsgate also withdrew its support for the production of the motion picture. Lionsgate intended the film to shed light on the controversial basketball star’s infamous trip to Vegas during the 1998 NBA Finals.

Jonathan Majors Dropped From ’48 Hours In Vegas’

It’s unclear if another studio plans on acquiring the rights to work on the project in the future. But even if that ends up being the case, Majors will not be part of the film, the publication noted.

After finding the 34-year-old actor guilty of third-degree assault and harassment, his career has hit roadblocks.

The case stemmed from accusations by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. She claimed that in March 2023, she had sustained injuries to her head and neck following a dispute with the ‘Creed’ star.

Despite the guilty verdict, however, the court acquitted Majors on one count of assault and one count of aggravated harassment.

The aftermath of the verdict has initiated a domino effect, removing Majors from several movies he was originally cast in.

Marvel Studios Cuts Ties With Majors

Marvel Studios announced it had cut ties with the California native, who had previously starred in 2023’s ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Qunatumania’ as Kang the Conqueror.

Majors also starred in the Disney+ series ‘Loki’ and was due to play a significant role in the studio’s phase five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which includes a fifth ‘Avengers’ movie.

The studio also reportedly planned to work on a solo film with Majors, titled ‘The Kang Dynasty,’ after they hired screenwriter Michael Waldron to work on the script.

While Marvel has not revealed whether they plan on replacing the actor, Majors’ removal from future movies has reportedly thrown the studio’s years-long plans into chaos, per the Associated Press.

Majors continued to maintain his denial of causing harm to his ex as he sat down with ABC News to express how surprised and anxious he was to learn of the verdict.

During the trial, Majors opted not to testify but told Good Morning America’s Linsey Davis that he agreed to share his perspective in the interview as a means of promoting healing.

“I’m standing there and the verdict comes down. I say, ‘How is that possible based off the evidence — based off the prosecution’s evidence, let alone our evidence?”

 

Majors Believes Race Was A Huge Factor In The Verdict

The actor, who plans to appeal his conviction, believed that race ultimately played a part in the entire ordeal.

During the trial, they showed CCTV footage of Grace and Majors in some sort of physical altercation after allegations arose that the actor forced his ex into a parked black SUV.

A few moments later, Jabbari grabbed onto Major’s arm. The actor breaks free from her grip and runs down the streets of New York as Jabbari chases after him.

During the trial, she testified that the two had been arguing after she found flirty messages on Majors’ phone, indicating he had cheated on her.

“If you watch those videos and you reverse that, and you saw a Black man chasing a young white girl down the street, screaming and crying, that man is gonna be shot and killed in the streets of New York City,” continued telling Davis in his interview. “That Black man will feel that.”

The court has scheduled the sentencing for Majors for February 6.

He could receive a maximum sentence of one year in jail for the assault charge, but there is also the possibility of probation.
