The arrest went ahead without resistance. Priya Chaudhry, Major’s attorney, said in a statement that Majors did nothing wrong.
All evidence shows that Mr. Majors is completely innocent and [die Frau] not attacked in any way. The NYPD has to make an arrest in a situation like this, and that’s the only reason Mr. Majors was arrested.

What are the consequences of the arrest and the allegations for Marvel star Jonathan Majors?
Majors has made a notable career advancement. He has been in front of the camera since the early 2010s. He achieved his first notable success in the 2019 indie drama The Last Black Man in San Francisco before establishing himself as the leading man in Hollywood with the HBO series Lovecraft Country.
He is currently in two major motion pictures: Creed III and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. His Marvel commitment in particular is causing a stir: In the Disney mega franchise, Majors is being built up to become the great villain Kang the Conqueror, who is to appear in many other films and series.
How the arrest and the allegations will affect Major’s career cannot yet be fully foreseen. So far, only the US Army, for which Majors has implemented an advertising campaign, has actually acted. This campaign has been suspended pending investigations into the case.
