It's been a pretty wild weekend for Hollywood after Jonathan Majors made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The actor, 33, was involved in a shocking domestic dispute with a woman who turned out to be his own girlfriend. It was reported that Majors was arrested in New York on Saturday and was charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment.

Right before the story caught the attention of mainstream media, the actor was later released without bail by the cops. Meanwhile, the woman in question, who reportedly had visible injuries is recuperating in the hospital and is said to be in stable condition.

Although Majors' representatives, including his defense lawyer, have claimed that they have actual video evidence that will prove his innocence, fans aren't buying into the narrative. When the shock finally settled in, many took to social media to express their disgust with the actor's alleged behavior.

As a matter of fact, MCU diehards want Disney to take action and recast the actor as Kang the Conqueror. Majors' character has been a prominent figure in the franchise since Phase Four and just this year, he finally made his hair-raising arrival in Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantumania. Check out some of the reactions below:

This whole scandal could spell doom for Majors and also puts Marvel Studios in a difficult position. You see, not only is Majors positioned as the Multiverse Saga's big bad but he also already filmed Loki Season 2. Should a recast happen, this forces the studio to go back to square one. The idea of him getting ousted from the billion-dollar franchise seems plausible as well, given how Disney has handled controversies involving its employees in the past.
