Disney and MCU star Jonathan Majors have more trouble on the horizon as disturbing new evidence has arisen in the actor’s ongoing assault case.

Text messages and a new audio recording have been publicized, shedding a new light on the case and into Majors’ high opinion of himself.

Among the evidence are disturbing text messages and an audio recording in which Majors allegedly compares himself to Martin Luther King Jr. and describes himself as a “great man.” He also tries to prevent his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, from going out drinking with friends.

One particularly troubling text shows Majors attempting to convince Jabbari not to seek medical attention for a head injury, going so far as to suggest she lie to the doctor about it. Furthermore, he threatens to kill himself, disclosing that he views himself as a “monster.”

The audio recording sheds a new light on the case and on the pair’s relationship, as well as into Majors’ high opinion of himself.

He mentions in the audio that he is “a great man” and compares himself to other important historical figures in the black community. This is notably troubling coming from an MCU star poised to play one of the franchise’s villains, Kang.

It is clear at this point that Disney needs to address this situation head-on, given the severity of the situation and the implications for its future with Majors and the MCU.
