The Jonathan Majors domestic violence case now involves police in London, according to an explosive new motion filed by New York prosecutors obtained by Rolling Stone.
It’s unclear the nature of the police report, but prosecutors have disclosed in court documents that they are seeking to obtain the woman’s medical records and subsequent treatment related to a previously undisclosed September 2022 incident. (A Metropolitan Police spokesperson declined to comment on any case until a person is charged with an offense.)
The motion, filed on Monday, also accuses Majors’ legal team of pulling a range of publicity stunts, including leaking and misrepresenting court evidence and an attempt to have police disseminate a wanted flier for his ex-girlfriend.
Majors is back in court on Wednesday stemming from the Marvel star’s arrest in March for allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend, who Rolling Stone is choosing not to name as the Manhattan DA’s office considers her a victim. A judge is expected to rule on his team’s latest motion to have the case thrown out. The 34-year-old, who faced accusations of physical and/or emotional abuse with two previous romantic partners in a Rolling Stone investigation in June, faces up to a year in jail if convicted on misdemeanor charges.
The woman claimed Majors twisted her arm, pushed her into the side of a car and struck her, which caused “substantial pain and a laceration” behind her ear, according to her police complaint. Majors was charged with several misdemeanors, including assault, attempted assault, and aggravated harassment. Majors has denied the claims, with his lawyer describing the prosecutor’s case as a “witch hunt.”
The case has garnered national attention, with heated discussion about the criminal matter dominating social media. Majors’ legal team has leaned into the public’s interest and have gone on the offensive, allegedly leaking surveillance video of the incident’s aftermath and releasing screenshots between the former couple as purported evidence that the woman had allegedly retracted her claims.
In June, Majors filed his own police report against his ex-girlfriend, claiming it was her who attacked him. Majors claims that his former girlfriend hit and scratched him, leaving him bloody. Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry has claimed there is substantial evidence to support Majors’ claim, including video footage, and has urged the judge to throw out the case numerous times.
But in the new motion, prosecutors have said that even if police decided to arrest the woman over Majors’ accusations, they would decline to press charges. Prosecutors also claim in court papers that while Majors’ legal team has told the press that “video of the incident existed,” there is no video of the alleged attack.
The criminal case against Majors comes after the actor was set to have his biggest year yet, with the premiere of Creed III and his role as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Majors is expected to reprise the role in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and also surfaces in Disney+’s Loki.
Rolling Stone has learned that Marvel has never contacted the woman at the center of the case. The woman was hired by Marvel as a movement coach for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, where she met Majors and the two began a relationship. They were in a relationship throughout filming for Loki’s second season in London, where the woman is primarily based. (Marvel did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.)
The second season of the Disney+ show premiered in early October and Loki executive producer Kevin Wright told Variety that there were no discussions about making changes to the show in light of Majors’ arrest and other allegations. “That mainly came from — I know as much as you do at the moment,” Wright said. “It felt hasty to do anything without knowing how all of this plays out.”
