British choreographer Grace Jabbari has taken legal action against US actor Jonathan Majors, famous for his role as Kang in Marvel films, filing a civil lawsuit in a New York federal court.The lawsuit, submitted on Tuesday, accused Majors of battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, and defamation.

This development follows Majors' criminal conviction three months ago, where a jury found him guilty of attacking and harassing Ms. Jabbari.Scheduled for sentencing in April, Majors could potentially face up to a year in prison.

Court documents unveiled on Tuesday contain additional claims from Jabbari, alleging a "pattern of pervasive domestic abuse" that spanned from 2021 to 2023, with detailed accounts of violent incidents and verbal assaults.The lawsuit specifically mentions a September 2022 attack by Majors that resulted in "serious injuries" to Jabbari.

In response to the lawsuit, Majors' lawyer Priya Chaudhry stated that they were anticipating the legal action and were preparing counterclaims against Jabbari.Conversely, Brittany Henderson, representing Jabbari, commended her courage for holding someone of Majors' stature accountable.

Following his criminal conviction, Marvel announced it would sever ties with Majors, who portrayed Kang the Conqueror in various Marvel productions.Majors expressed shock at the jury's decision during a January interview, questioning the verdict based on the evidence presented.

The ongoing legal battle casts a shadow over Majors' career, including his involvement in the upcoming Avengers project, "The Kang Dynasty."
