Majors seemed destined for the ranks of Hollywood’s A-list before he was arrested following a 2023 altercation with his then-girlfriend. He had won critical accolades for his work in “Da 5 Bloods” and “Lovecraft Country” and secured years of future Marvel stardom with his role as Kang the Conqueror.
