Majors claimed Jabbari had flown into a jealous rage and was the aggressor and that he was only trying to regain his phone and get away safely.

Following the guilty verdict, Majors was immediately dropped by Marvel Studios, which had cast him as Kang the Conqueror, a role envisioned as the main villain in the entertainment empire’s movies and television shows for years to come.
Majors and Jabbari had met in 2021 on the set of Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” in which Majors played Kang and Jabbari served as a movement coach.
Majors has slowly reemerged on the Hollywood scene in recent weeks.
His long-shelved film “Magazine Dreams” was acquired for theatrical release last month.
The bodybuilder drama had garnered early Oscar buzz for Majors, but was dropped by its distributors following his conviction last December.
