Hollywood actor Jonathan Majors landed in trouble after he was convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. Following the conviction, Marvel removed him from a prime role in its superhero blockbusters.

The actor's conviction could see him facing up to one-year imprisonment and has upended Marvel's plans for the franchise, which had his character Kang the Conqueror front and center in multiple upcoming films.

The court heard that the actor received multiple texts and Jabbari had sought to take his phone, believing the contact to be from another woman, local media reported.

Majors will be sentenced on February 6, it added.

"The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said.

"A jury determined that pattern of abuse and coercion culminated with Mr. Majors assaulting and harassing his girlfriend."

The decision was declared after a jury of six people spent more than five hours thinking over three days, local media reported.
