Marvel's Jonathan Majors 'dropped by management' after domestic violence arrest
Jonathan Majors has reportedly been dropped by his management company three weeks after he was arrested for reportedly assaulting a woman following a domestic dispute.
The Marvel actor was arrested on March 25 in New York on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment.
He is said to have been involved in an alleged domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman, though a representative for Majors denied any wrongdoing by the actor.
A source has claimed Entertainment 360 decided to part ways with the 33-year-old "due to issues surrounding the actor's personal behaviour".
The source also claimed PR firm The Lede Company has also parted ways with the actor.

The actor was arrested after police responded to a 911 call inside an apartment in the Manhattan neighbourhood of Chelsea.
In a statement released by his criminal defence lawyer, Majors claimed he was the victim.
"Johnathan Majors is completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows," his lawyer, Priya Chaudhry said.
His lawyer said: "We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently."

The actor has maintained his innocence (WireImage)"All the evidence proves that Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever," Chaudhry added.
"The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident.
"The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition," a spokesperson for the NYPD said in a statement.
He was no longer in police custody the night of his arrest, the NYPD spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press.
