Jonathan Majors Is a “Famous Monster” — and Signing Autographs at $140 a Pop

Cast out of Hollywood's A-list following a domestic assault conviction, the 'Creed III' and 'Lovecraft Country' actor will be manning a booth at a monster-movie convention in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, this coming weekend.

Barring the occasional doorstepTMZvideo or red carpet event appearance, the public hasn’t seen much of 34-year-old actorJonathan Majorslately. TheAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniastar wassentenced in April to a 52-week domestic violence intervention programafter being convicted of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment in December after an altercation with his then-girlfriend. The performer was ordered to continue mental health counseling and therapy and provide the court with updates on treatment.

Majors’ Sundance 2023 filmMagazine Dreams, initially considered an awards contender,was dropped by Searchlight Pictures, as was his supervillain character Kang the Conqueror from the continuing Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Robert Downey Jr. was rehired by Disney’s comic book movie behemoth to step in asDr. Victor von Doomfor “significantly more than $80 million” over two films.)

But don’t count Majors out yet. On Sunday, Sept. 15, two days after his first treatment compliance date, he’ll be at the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, selling autographs for $140 and pro-shot photographs at $160 a pop. The occasion is theFamous Monsters Fest, run by the revived fan journal of note,Famous Monsters of Filmland, which runs from Friday, Sept. 13, through Sept. 15.Majors, whose monstrous bona fides include his role in HBO’sLovecraft Countryand the villain inCreed III, will be joined in the autograph room byStar Trek’s George Takei, original KISS drummer Peter Criss (“The Cat”!), Andy Serkis,Starcrashheroine and Bond girl Caroline Munro, Kane Hodder (who played Jason Vorhees in four of theFriday the 13thfilms), Tyler Mane (who played Michael Myers in two of theHalloweenfilms) and several others. Majors does seem to be the marquee draw, judging by his rates: His John Hancock is going for $40 more than Serkis’.

Majors madethe announcementin a short video on Famous Monsters’ Instagram. After 23 hours, there were 555 likes and a handful of positive comments. (“Bro it sucks what happened this guy seems like a genuinely good guy who got himself in a bad position because of someone else,” wrote @itssteveithink_.)

Famous Monsters of Filmland, a Rosetta Stone publication for genre movie fans created in 1958 by Forrest Ackerman, was bought by Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and film producer Eben McGarr in late 2022. McGarr also co-ownsMad Monstermagazine and its Mad Monster Party conventions, which made some news in February when they hosted Kevin Spacey at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Concord, New Hampshire, in February.Representatives from Famous Monsters Fest and Majors provided no comment in response toThe Hollywood Reporter‘s requests.
