The fate of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the highest-grossing entertainment franchise in history, is being decided this month in a Manhattan court room. That’s where Jonathan Majors, the 34-year-old actor who played Kang the Conquerer in 2023’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” is on trial for misdemeanor assault and harassment after being accused by his ex-girlfriend, actress Grace Jabbari, of abusing her in the back seat of a chauffeured SUV in March.
