He faces up to a year in prison and will be sentenced on Feb. 6.
The charges stemmed from an incident with his now-ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
Marvel is unsure of how to move forward with the role of Kang after Majors’ departure.

The departure of Majors adds to problems Marvel has recently had, including box-office failures.
According to Variety, “Marvel is truly —— with the whole Kang angle.”
“And they haven’t had an opportunity to rewrite until very recently [because of the WGA strike],” an insider reportedly told the outlet.
“But I don’t see a path to how they move forward with him,” they added.
