Jonathan Majors’ Comeback Faces Problems
Jonathan Majors was a big Hollywood star, but his career fell apart after he was found guilty of assault in 2023. He lost his job with Marvel and many other deals. Now, at 35, he is trying to make a comeback with his new movie, Magazine Dreams.
Trying to Return to Hollywood
Majors was convicted in December 2023 for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. After this, his movie was delayed, and he lost many opportunities. Now, the film is finally coming out on March 21, 2025, and he is doing interviews to fix his image. But things are not going well.
March 14: First Interview After Conviction
Majors spoke to The Hollywood Reporter in his first big interview since his trial. He talked about his past, including being abused as a child. Many people, including Michael B. Jordan and Whoopi Goldberg, supported him. Jordan even said he might work with Majors again.
March 17: Leaked Audio Causes Trouble
Just a few days later, Rolling Stone released an audio recording of Majors. In it, he seemed to admit to choking Jabbari. He said, “I aggressed you,” and she replied, “You strangled me and pushed me against the car.” This made people question if he had really changed.
March 18: Marriage to Meagan Good
The next day, Majors married actress Meagan Good in a small wedding. Some people thought this was real love, but others believed it was just a way to distract from the leaked audio.
March 19: TV Interview on Sherri
Majors went on Sherri to talk about the audio leak. He did not say it was fake. Instead, he said he was relying on faith and had been going to therapy. He also talked about his marriage, saying it was the happiest day of his life.

March 21: Magazine Dreams Finally in Theaters
The movie is now out, but not many people are watching it. It was expected to make $1 million in the first weekend, but early numbers say it only made $700,000.
Can Majors Make a Comeback?
Some actors come back after scandals, but others never recover. Right now, it is unclear if Majors will be able to rebuild his career. His movie is not doing well, and the leaked audio has hurt his reputation. The next few months will decide if he can return—or if his career is over.
