Jonathan Majors has commented for the first time publicly since being fired by Marvel.
Over the last couple of years, Majors has been placed as the primary villain in the multiverse saga within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His appearance in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was followed up by a major plot sequence in the second season of Loki.
The fifth Avengers movie was previously called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, though insiders are calling that movie Avengers 5 now.
Majors' future in the MCU was called into question when he was arrested on suspicions of domestic abuse.
In December, he was found guilty of harassing and attacking his former girlfriend, British choreographer Grace Jabbari, back in March.
The official charges are "assault by recklessly causing physical injury, as well as harassment, and acquitted him of a different assault charge and aggravated harassment."
He will be sentenced in February and could face up to a year in prison.
Speaking to ABC News, Majors again completely denied laying his hands on Jabbari and claimed he didn't know how she came to be injured.
“That did not happen. I wish to God I knew (how Jabbari got the injuries). That would give clarity, that would give me some type of peace about it," he explained.
"I’m standing there and the verdict comes down. I say, ‘How is that possible?’ Based off the evidence, based off the prosecution’s evidence, let alone our evidence - how is that possible?'”
Majors says his biggest regret is not leaving the relationship sooner.
“I shouldn’t have been in the car. I shouldn’t have stepped out of the relationship. I shouldn’t have been in the relationship,” he said. “If I’m not in the car, none of this is happening. If I leave the relationship, none of this is happening. If I’m man enough or brave enough to say, ‘I want to see someone else’ or ‘I’m done now,’ I’m not in that car. We’re not here. I’m responsible for those things.
“I was reckless with her heart, not with her body. My hands have never struck a woman, ever."
When asked if he hopes to return to acting, he responded:
“I pray I do. But it’s God’s plan and God’s timing.”
