Sentencing is set for 6 February 2024, with a possibility of a year in prison, though it has yet to be decided. In a statement reportedly released by Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, she said she's disappointed in the verdict:

"It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV; we are grateful for that. We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found Mr Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him."

According to The Shaderoom's Instagram post, the conviction led to Marvel Studios dropping Majors from any future projects, including Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, set to premiere in 2026.
