Jonathan Majors has been sentenced to a one-year, in-person domestic violence intervention program, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Monday’s sentence comes roughly five months after the actor’s high-profile trial over the alleged assault of ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari culminated in a guilty verdict; Majors faced up to one year in prison on one charge of reckless assault in the third degree and on one harassment charge.

He was found not guilty, however, on a charge of intentional assault in the third degree and a charge of aggravated harassment in the second degree.

In the wake of the guilty verdict, Disney and Marvel fired the actor from his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Jabbari alleged that she was assaulted by Majors in the backseat of a car. According to her testimony, Majors became upset when she took his phone out of his hands and saw that he was sending text messages to another woman. He allegedly snatched the phone back, causing what Jabbari called “excruciating” pain and bruising, along with a fractured finger.

Majors’ initial arrest had an immediate impact on his career, beginning with the U.S. Army dropping the actor from its commercials. More importantly, it also raised questions about his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; he was introduced on the big screen as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and he’s set to take center stage in 2026’s Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

He was rumored to be appearing in the second season finale of Disney+’s Loki, but the episode came and went with nary a cameo from Kang. “That report was crazy, I’ll just say that,” Loki executive producer Kevin Wright told TVLine after the finale hit Disney+. “That just shows you, I don’t know what people are talking about.”

Wright also insisted, with a firm “no,” that there was no footage intentionally left on the cutting room floor as a result of Majors’ brouhaha. Rather, “the story that is on screen is the one that we set out to make,” he said, adding that he and Loki’s other creatives had no plans to set up a bigger MCU arc.
