Jonathan Majors Cast in ‘Merciless’ Movie and Receives Award

Marvel world last year amid assault allegations. Meanwhile, the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards apparently decided that Majors deserved an award for “perseverance.”

Majors was arrested in March 2023 and accused of hitting his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, twisting her arm, and fracturing her finger during a fight. At trial, prosecutors alleged that Majors “engaged in cruel and manipulative patterns of psychological and physical abuse” toward Jabbari after she found out he cheated on her. He denied all allegations, and in December, a jury found him guilty of domestic assault and harassment.

He said that while he knows he’s “imperfect” and has “shortcomings,” he feels like he’s had to “embody” perseverance “more than I wished or wanted to” because “we live in a world where men — Black men in particular — are propped up as either superheroes or supervillains.” He said that when he was arrested, “as a Black man in the criminal justice system, I felt anger. I felt sadness, hurt, surprise.
