Jonathan Majors sentencing suddenly postponed after assault conviction: Live

Though it’s still not clear when the former Marvel actor will be sentenced, media outlets are reporting that his new date could be as early as this month.

Majors is facing a punishment from probation to up to a year in prison for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, British dancer Grace Jabbari. Majors is a first-time defender and the case is a misdemeanor.

Deadline reported that the sentencing could still potentially happen in Febuary.

The former Marvel actor is appearing in court this afternoon for a motion filed by his attorneys instead of his sentencing, according to PIX11 News.

It’s unclear what the motion is in regards to and why the sentencing was postponed. The Independent has reached out to the Manhattan DA’s Office for comment.

The former Marvel actor’s sentencing has reportedly been postponed after he was scheduled to appear in court at 9am Tuesday to hear his penalties following a December criminal conviction in his domestic assault case.

His ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari previously accused him of twisting her arm and striking her. He was arrested in connection with the altercation in March.

When stopped on the street by a TMZ cameraperson last month, Majors was asked how he’s been holding up since his conviction.

“God is good. God is great.” Majors responded, while smiling and holding a dog.

The cameraperson continued: “How do you keep positive and stuff during all this?”

He responded, “Prayer, faith.”

When asked if the actor plans to continue acting, he responded, “I think that’s enough for now” and walked away.

“At the Manhattan DA’s Office, we are committed to centering survivors in all our work,” the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said in a written statement following the verdict. “The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion far too common across the many intimate partner violence cases we see each and every day.”

On Tuesday, the former Marvel actor will be sentenced after a jury convicted him of one count of third-degree assault and one count of harassment. The actor is facing up to a year in prison.

Mr Majors’ trial lasted three-weeks. During most of it, the actor attended court with his actress girlfriend Meagan Good. He frequently was seen with a bible on his desk.

On Tuesday Jonathan Majors will learn his sentence, after being convicted of assaulting his ex-girfriend Grace Jabbari in December.

But what comes net for the disgraced actor, who was on the verge of Hollywood greatness?

On 18 December, former-Marvel star Jonathan Majors was convicted on two counts — one count of assault in the third degree and one count of harassment in the second degree.

Throughout the trial, social media users repeatedly insisted that Majors was innocent; there was even a hashtag called #FreeJonathanMajors under which users posted their support for the actor.

The Independent’s Kelly Rissman looks at the similarities between the trial and that of fellow A-lister Johnny Depp, which played out in 2022.

Jonathan Majors was on the verge of stratospheric Hollywood success before he was convicted of assault late last year.

The actor had been teed up to play the villainous Kang the Conqueror in the latest spate of Marvel Cinematic Universe films. After being found guilty of the charges Majors was dropped from multiple projects.
