Marvel Actor Jonathan Majors' NYC Domestic Assault Trial Date Set

NEW YORK CITY — Actor Jonathan Majors will stand trial Nov. 29 for a high-profile domestic assault case in New York City, officials said.

Majors, famed for his role as the villainous Kang in Marvel movies and television shows, appeared in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday by a Zoom to learn the future of his case, Variety reported.

A judge dismissed a motion to dismiss the case, paving the way for a trial next month, according to the report.

"We look forward to presenting our case at trial," a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's office said in a statement.

Majors and his attorneys have contended he's innocent and that, in fact, he was assaulted by his ex-girlfriend during a March 25 incident that led to his arrest.

An as-yet-unconfirmed report stated that his accuser would be arrested soon, but the Washington Post reported that prosecutors had no plans to charge her.

Several women and coworkers have also gone public with accusations of abusive behavior by Majors, notably in a Rolling Stone report.
