Jonathan Majors, an actor from Marvel, is being tried for domestic violence in New York. On Thursday, a jury was chosen.

Assault and abuse charges against the 34-year-old “Loki” star will be heard by six jurors and two alternates. The case is expected to last two weeks. Majors is said to have hit his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari during a cab ride in Chinatown on March 25 after she saw a sexy text message on his phone. Opening statements in the trial are set for Monday, and Jabbari is expected to talk about the time she says Majors hit her after she tried to read the flirty message.
Yul Vasquez, an actor best known for his parts in “Severance” and guest spots on “The Sopranos” and “Seinfeld,” was one of the potential jurors for Jonathan Majors’ domestic attack trial but was spared because he was worried about violence against women. Because they had seen a video of Majors’ accuser dancing at a bar after the alleged attack, three other jurors were kicked off the case because they might have been biased. Majors is charged with minor assault and harassment for allegedly hitting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. He pleads not guilty. Opening comments are set for Monday, and the trial is expected to last two weeks. Prosecutors are thinking about showing proof from an event that happened in London in September 2022 that is tied to the case. The hearing could have an effect on Majors’ career, which was helped by his part as Kang the Conqueror in Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp.” It was his new girlfriend, Meagan Good, who was in court. The judge did not say whether or not inflammatory information from Majors’ past can be used in the hearing.
