This was heartbreaking to watch. Loved him as Kang and she brought up EXCELLENT points. But I agree, give it time. Hope to see you back JM

[camerongonzales]

He was so tolerant and just kept answering questions!

Great answers man, Marvel please bring this man back, he killed it as kang man, I have hope for his return

[thatguytylerarns]

Crazy how there's evidence of them running away from his "victim", but there's evidence of Ezra choking a woman on camera and a criminal record that followed.

This dude should never been let go. He's innocent, dude was literally running away from his attacker but still got charged as Perpetrator .

[MarkelJackson-ri]

This really broke me, it’s crazy how he wasn’t giving a chance! That’s insane!!!

[brianticas]

I met the guy today while hiking 🥾 in Runyon canyon. Hes a good humble guy man. I hope he stays up in his career.

[OneUltimateWarrior]

Glad he stayed professional despite being wronged by Marvel Studios and the justice system.

Where’s the petition for for this man?!

[jonstardc]

She trying to race bait him instead of saying it her dam self

[davinalopez-ozez]

after the announcement over the weekend, i want this dude to comeback as kang.

Man U talk about a black man being humble this dude didn’t say one foul word about that whole situation the reason why I’m a tell you right now is because his energy and his spirit is way above what people is trying to actually do to him and he’s free. His mind is free. His body is free so he ain’t gonna be holding onto something that don’t wanna hold on to him, but he still humble enough to keep on moving despite what obstacles he had to endure big ups to u brother Jonathan can’t keep a real man down!!

[zachcatanzareti]

Majors was screwed over in every way. Marvel knew nobody could replace a talent like him besides RDJ. Desperate move.

[SolbinWatkins]

Every black and brown person understood that “idk”

[habbi_CR]

Please Bring him back! It's not fair, he should get another chance. I really wanted to see him in Secret Wars

[promiseinblood]

what was heart breaking was the fact that some one was in his face while he was trying to enjoy his day. you can tell he clearly doesnt want to be in that interaction

[boydfindlay]

Speak ur truth man we stand behind u, it was a unfair situation

[seanalexandermedia]

so sad. you get charged for pushing someone away from you who is assaulting you. crazzzy. but ya know, shes a blonde and he's not smh

[MJC]

Poor dude got done dirty. He didn’t do anything nearly as bad as others. I hope he comes back as kang one day

[shadowsaiyan]

I feel like Kang will return at a later time. Marvel isn't throwing that character away. Things will cool down, Majors will get his life & career back on track, then Disney/Marvel will come knocking with an offer he can't refuse. It'll be a HUGE comeback story.
