Jonathan Michael Majors (born September 7, 1989) is an American actor. A graduate of the Yale School of Drama, Majors rose to prominence for starring in the drama films The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019) and Da 5 Bloods (2020) and the HBO horror series Lovecraft Country (2020), for which he received a nomination from the Primetime Emmy Awards. Majors has since portrayed Nat Love in the western The Harder They Fall (2021), Jesse L. Brown in the war film Devotion (2022), and antagonist Dame Anderson in the sports film Creed III (2023). In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), he portrayed Kang the Conqueror in the film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) while also appearing as other variants of the character in the Disney+ series Loki (2021–2023). In March 2023, Majors was arrested for physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. That December, he was found guilty of two misdemeanour counts of assault and harassment. After the conviction, he was dropped from numerous upcoming projects, including any future involvement with the MCU. He subsequently served a 52-week in-person domestic violence intervention program.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
