Six months after the initial assault charge, Majors virtually attended a brief hearing on September 6th. It concluded with the court scheduling the new trial date for September 15th. Per Deadline, the date was initially slated for August but was postponed as the prosecutors requested additional time for discovery.

This followed some criticism from Majors' legal team, claiming that the information provided by the alleged victim's team had "shortcomings." Majors participated in the hearing virtually after attending court in person for the June and August sessions.

His attorney, Priya Chaudhry, released a statement earlier in April stating that Majors was "innocent and has not harmed anyone." She added, "We have presented undeniable evidence to the District Attorney, proving the charges are untrue. We firmly believe that he will be completely vindicated."

A few months later, Rolling Stone published a detailed report that included accounts from over 12 sources alleging a history of violent behavior by Majors. The accounts date back to when he attended Yale's David Geffen School of Drama. One of the sources wrote, "It was widely known that he was a talented actor, and that he also subjected the people he dated to fear and distress."

After his role in the 2019 film "The Last Black Man In San Francisco," Majors rose to fame in the movie industry. However, the actor's recent charges influenced some brands and franchises to take a break from him. Majors' agency and public relations team, among others, have parted ways with him.

It is uncertain whether his current situation will affect his return as Kang, as the MCU, among some other brands, is yet to comment on the matter.
