Anthony Mackie is speaking out in defense of fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe star Jonathan Majors who has been facing abuse allegations. Mackie is currently promoting his new Peacock original “Twisted Metal” and teasing his upcoming role in “Captain America 4.”
In an interview with Inverse, the actor made it clear that he believes Majors is innocent until proven guilty. “This is a country that was built on the principle of ‘everyone is innocent until proven guilty’,” he said. “That’s one of the staples of this country. Nothing has been proven about this dude. Nothing. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That’s all I can say. It’s crazy where we are as a society.”
Majors made his debut as Kang the Conquerer in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” earlier this year, and is set to take on a Thanos-like villain role in the MCU. However, his career has been put on hold after he was arrested in March for allegedly assaulting a spouse. He was charged with several counts of assault and aggravated harassment, and was required to stay away from the victim.
Majors appeared in court in June where his attorney argued that evidence proved the alleged victim was actually the one who had assaulted Majors. Since then, he has started dating actress Meagan Good who accompanied him to court. Majors has also filed a counterclaim against his ex Grace Jabbari, alleging that he was the one actually assaulted during the incident.
Anthony Mackie's defense of Jonathan Majors shows that he believes that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. With Majors' future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe uncertain, only time will tell if he is able to clear his name and continue with his career.
