Jonathan Majors is not going to jail.

The Marvel actor will get probation instead after being convicted of domestic assault.

In New York, Judge Michael Gaffey also ordered Majors to complete a 52 week in-person batterer’s intervention program. He also has to continue with his mental health therapy.

Majors’ real punishment is losing a lot of work, including his role as Kang in the next Avengers movies. Marvel and Disney had planned a trilogy based on his villain, but after the conviction they dropped him like a hot potato. Majors lost other roles, as well, and an indie movie he made called “Magazine Dreams” was abandoned by Disney Searchlight.

Now Majors is left to pick up the pieces of his shattered career. At the time he was arrested he was starring in two box office hits, “Creed III” and “Ant Man 3.” What can he do to get back on track? Wait for an Oprah type confessional interview, and other crisis management solutions.
