After the news broke, Majors’ case was compared to DC Ezra Miller. The actor was arrested after allegedly assaulting a woman in Hawaii. The Fantastic Beasts star threw a chair at the woman, leaving her with a cut to her forehead, according to police.

Ezra Miller was charged with second-degree assault.

Miller apologised to Warner Bros. However, a Deadline report suggested that he will not remain as the DCEU’s big-screen Flash following the 2023 release.

“There’s all this whataboutism happening now with MCU people bringing up Ezra Miller to try and defend Majors… Like, no wonder they’re incels,” a Twitter user said.

“After the Ezra Miller situation, I’m watching how Hollywood treats Jonathan Majors closely,” another one added.

“It will be interesting to see how Marvel/Disney handles this compared to Warner/DC and Ezra Miller. Marvel has a bunch of upcoming projects that are supposed to feature Majors,” a third one said.
