ABC reports that actor Jonathan Majors has officially been dropped by Disney after being found guilty of third-degree assault and second-degree harassment.
.
In a split verdict, the actor was also acquitted of two counts of assault and aggravated harassment.
The decision by Disney, the parent company of Marvel, means that Majors will not make any future appearances as the Marvel villain Kang.
The charges against Majors stem from a March incident with Grace Jabbari, his girlfriend at the time.
The actor, who faces up to a year in prison for the two misdemeanor counts, is scheduled to be sentenced on February 6.
ABC reports that a prison sentence is unlikely for Majors, as he is a first-time offender.
The judge overseeing the case also renewed an order of protection, barring Majors from having any contact with Jabbari.
