Jonathan Majors is gaga for Meagan Good ... and not even his recent legal woes can put a dent in their relationship -- just check out the first words out of his mouth about her.

The couple was out and about Sunday at the 7th annual AAFCA Special Achievement Awards luncheon here in L.A. ... and the ex-Marvel star's practically glowing while sharing an update on their relationship when he was asked by Extra how they're doing.

Listen to JM's gushy response here -- he says, "We're in love... We're doing good, thanks for asking." Meagan chimes in too, saying, "We're doing great. God's good."

Jonathan has clearly got himself a keeper in Meagan ... remember, she stood by his side during his assault trial brought on by ex-GF, Grace Jabbari -- and she continues to stick by him even now post-conviction.

As we reported -- the jury ended up finding him guilty of one count of reckless assault in the third degree and one count of harassment. He was acquitted on 2 other charges.

Jonathan told us he was leaning on his faith in the aftermath of his conviction ... helping him stay strong in the run-up to his April sentencing. His legal team has filed to have the conviction tossed ... arguing the whole case was botched and unfair to him from day 1.

Of course, he'd been relying on Meagan all throughout the trial -- last month, the pair got away from NYC for a bit, hitting the road together for a cross-country road trip which included a pit stop in Dallas to see Majors' mother, Terri.

Kenneth Mitchell -que protagonizó una serie de televisión de "Star Trek" y una película de Marvel- ha muerto, según un comunicado de su familia.

La familia anunció a través de su cuenta de Instagram que el actor falleció el sábado, recordándolo no solo como un actor condecorado, sino también como un dedicado hombre de familia.

Su familia dice que falleció después de una batalla contra la ELA que comenzó hace más de cinco años diciendo que creía que cada día era un regalo a pesar de las dificultades que enfrentó con su enfermedad.

Mitchell apareció en varias películas y programas de televisión a lo largo de los años, incluyendo "Nancy Drew", "The Astronauts Wives Club", "NCIS", "Castle", "Criminal Minds" y "Grey's Anatomy".

Su papel más destacado llegó en 2006, cuando obtuvo un papel protagónico en la serie "Jericho". Mitchell apareció en 27 de los 29 episodios de la serie durante sus dos temporadas.

Más recientemente, Mitchell dio el salto al reino de la ciencia ficción, apareciendo como Joe -el padre de Carol Danvers- en el éxito de Marvel de 2019 "Captain Marvel" y apareciendo en una serie de papeles para el original de Paramount + "Star Trek: Discovery".

A Mitchell le sobreviven su esposa Susan, sus hijos Lilah y Kallum, sus padres, hermanos y numerosas sobrinas y sobrinos. La familia le está pidiendo a la gente que done a la investigación de la ELA en su memoria.

Kenneth tenía 49 años.

Kenneth Mitchell -- who starred in a 'Star Trek' television show and Marvel movie -- has died, according to a statement from his family.

The actor passed away Saturday his family announced via his Instagram account ... remembering him as not only a decorated actor but also a dedicated family man.

His family says he passed away after a battle with ALS that began more than five years ago saying he believed each day was a gift despite the difficulties he faced with his illness.

Mitchell appeared in a number of movies and television shows over the years including "Nancy Drew," "The Astronauts Wives Club," "NCIS," "Castle," "Criminal Minds," and "Grey's Anatomy."

His breakout role came back in 2006 when he received a starring part in the show "Jericho." Mitchell appeared in 27 of the show's 29 episodes during its two-season run.

More recently, Mitchell made the jump into the science-fiction realm ... appearing as Carol Danvers' father Joe in the 2019 Marvel hit "Captain Marvel" and appearing in a number of roles for the Paramount+ original "Star Trek: Discovery."

Mitchell is survived by his wife Susan, kids Lilah and Kallum, his parents, siblings and numerous nieces and nephews. The family's asking people to donate to ALS research in his memory.

Kenneth was 49.

Jonathan Majors fue rápidamente abandonado por Marvel luego de que se conociera su condena por agresión, pero resulta que el estudio ya estaba pensando en seguir adelante sin el actor, al menos según un nuevo informe.

Como todos saben, el actor fue cortado minutos después de que el jurado de Nueva York lo declarara culpable de dos de los cuatro cargos presentados por su ex novia, Grace Jabbari, incluyendo los de acoso y agresión.

Por supuesto, solo terminó siendo condenado por lo que pasó fuera del carro, no por lo que ocurrió en el interior, ya que en esos casos los fiscales aseguraron que había realmente maltrato de su parte. Inmediatamente después, Marvel anunció que no iba a trabajar más con Majors en el futuro. No se demoraron ni un segundo.

Pero una nueva historia de THR sugiere que Marvel originalmente estaba planeando entablar una relación con Majors como su nuevo gran villano, pero esos planes cambiaron cuando se vio envuelto en este caso de violencia doméstica.

Dicen que la próxima película de "Avengers", que iba a llamarse "The Kang Dynasty", ya no va a incluir el nombre del personaje de Majors y están reescribiendo las próximas películas para eliminar a Kang por completo o para marginarlo y convertirlo en una nota al pie de página en la trama. Es una carga pesada, pero todo el mundo esperaba que así fuera.

Lo más interesante de este reportaje es la noción de que Marvel/Disney ya había tomado una decisión en cuanto a lo que querían hacer con Kang y Majors.

Citando fuentes, THR dice que Marvel ya estaba haciendo movimientos para minimizar la participación de Kang en las próximas películas, y la aparente razón, el dinero. Parece que la aparición de Majors en "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" no fue un éxito financiero (definitivamente no lo fue) y debido a eso sintieron que la audiencia simplemente no estaba de humor para ver más de Kang.

La película hizo $476 millones a nivel mundial por sus visionados en los cines, pero comparado con otras películas de superhéroes, es bastante malo. Así que, a primera vista ... parece que el destino de Majors ya estaba sellado.

Jonathan Majors was quickly dropped by Marvel in the wake of his assault conviction -- but as it turns, the studio was already inclined to move on ... at least according to a new report.

As everyone knows, the actor was cut loose just minutes after word came down from a NYC jury in December that he was guilty on two of four counts -- including harassment and assault -- as it pertained to charges that he'd harmed his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

Granted, he only ended up getting convicted on what happened outside of the car -- not inside, where prosecutors claimed he'd really roughed her up -- and yet ... Marvel immediately announced he wasn't working with them going forward. They didn't skip a beat.

Welp, per a new THR story ... Marvel is now in the cleanup process of their next chapter -- as they were originally planning on hitching their wagon to Majors' star as the new big villain ... but those plans changed once he got caught up in this DV case.

They say the next 'Avengers' movie -- which was going to be called 'The Kang Dynasty' -- is now not going to include Majors' character's name at all ... and they're rewriting the next slate of films to either cut out Kang altogether, or to seriously sideline him and make him a footnote in the larger plot. It's a heavy lift, but everyone expected that to be the case.

The more interesting tidbit here in this report is the notion that Marvel/Disney had apparently already made a decision in terms of where they wanted to go with Kang and Majors.

THR, citing sources, says Marvel was already making moves to minimize Kang's involvement in future movies -- and the apparent reason ... money. It sounds like Majors' appearance in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' wasn't a financial success (it definitely wasn't) and because of that ... they felt audiences just weren't in the mood for more Kang.

The movie made $476 million globally through its theatrical run ... but by superhero movie standards, that's pretty trash. So, on its face ... it sounds like Majors' fate was sealed.

Dakota Johnson's trying to avoid a sticky situation ... saying watching her movies could land her in an existential crisis -- which is why she says she hasn't seen her own new movie yet.

The actress made the stunning confession about "Madame Web" -- the superhero flick which she leads, and which is out in theaters now -- during an interview with Magic Radio ... admitting she's more likely to sneak out the back of the theater than stay for her own premiere, which she apparently did this week ahead of the official release of her flick.

It's a move she's clearly put to good use ... 'cause DJ says she still hasn't watched 'MW,' even now -- and it doesn't seem there are any plans to peep in the near future.

And, it's not just watching herself on the big screen that seems to be an issue for Johnson either ... 'cause she doesn't even seem interested in watching the flick at home -- adding she might watch the movie "someday" ... but sounding thoroughly disinterested.

Dakota says she's watched some of her movies, but admits she doesn't really like to view them -- saying she feels she could get hit with an existential crisis while watching one of her movies ... and comparing avoiding her films to "self-care."

It's not totally uncommon for stars not to watch their movies ... Constance Wu, Jesse Eisenberg, Helena Bonham Carter and Adam Driver are just a few of Hollywood's best and brightest who pass on watching their movies.

Gwyneth Paltrow's famous for giving interviews where she's basically admitted to having no idea what's happening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ... despite appearing in seven Marvel films -- so it doesn't seem to be a requirement for giving great performances.

BTW ... it might be a good thing Johnson avoids watching her movies or googling herself -- 'cause 'Web' is getting absolutely blasted by both critics and audiences.

The movie -- following clairvoyant Cassandra Webb (Johnson) who tries to protect three women from a mysterious adversary -- has a 14% critics score and a 55% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes ... numbers well below the typical Marvel film.

There's a new 'Spider-Man' movie out this week that's all about the ladies -- the premiere for which runs the risk of getting you stuck on our page ... 'cause they were oozing sex appeal.

Of course, we're talking about "Madame Web"-- which stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Emma Roberts and other female actors who lead the charge in fighting bad guys on the big screen. In front of cameras, though ... they were also leaving a mark.

Sydney, specifically, looked gorgeous ... with a body-hugging dress that was web-themed, and which fit her like a glove. Yeah, she was kinda pouring out of this thing -- tastefully, that is.

Dakota herself also turned heads with her outfit -- she had on this mesh/see-through gown that made it seem like she was completely naked underneath ... even though, she really wasn't. On the contrary, she had on a skin-colored leotard beneath her main dress.

Still, she was definitely allowing people's imagination to run wild ... and on both counts -- between Sydney and Dakota -- they certainly made a splash for their superhero flick.

Other cast members showed off their sweet duds as well ... Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Adam Scott, Zosia Mamet and more. Everyone was dressed to the nines.

And, while everyone looked stunning ... it bears repeating, SS and DJ stole the show here.

Anyway, "Madame Web" hits theaters starting Wednesday -- but the box office projections for the movie are looking a little grim from the outset ... word is, it very well may flop.

Esta semana se estrena una nueva película de "Spider-Man" en la que todo gira en torno a las mujeres y cuyo estreno corre el riesgo de que te quedes enganchado a nuestra página... porque desvordanan sex appeal.

Nos referimos a "Madame Web", protagonizada por Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Emma Roberts y otras actrices que luchan contra los malos en la gran pantalla. Delante de las cámaras, sin embargo... también dejaron huella.

Sydney, en concreto, estaba guapísima, con un vestido ceñido al cuerpo con temática web que le sentaba muy bien. Sí, ella estaba haciendo gala de su buen gusto.

Dakota también llamó la atención con su atuendo: llevaba un vestido de malla transparente que la hacía parecer que estaba completamente desnuda por debajo, aunque en realidad no lo estaba. Por el contrario, llevaba un leotardo de color piel debajo de su vestido principal.

Definitivamente estaba dejando volar la imaginación de la gente, y entre Sydney y Dakota sin duda capturaron la atención de los fans de los superhéroes.

Otros miembros del elenco también mostraron sus trajes, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Adam Scott, Zosia Mamet y muchos más. Todo el mundo estaba vestido de punta en blanco.

Y, mientras que todo el mundo se veía impresionante, vale la pena repetir que Sydney y Dakota se robaron el show.

"Madame Web" llega a los cines el miércoles, pero las proyecciones de taquilla para la película se ven un poco sombrías... hay cierto miedo a que pueda fracasar.

Kumail Nanjiani says that movie critics were so harsh on his Marvel movie from a few years ago that he thought it'd be best to get on the couch and see a shrink about it ... yep.

The actor -- who played one of the leads in 2021's "Eternals" -- told the tale on the "Inside of You" podcast with Michael Rosenbaum ... where he explained that the work he put into it didn't match the reaction, at least in his eyes.

KN said the reviews were terrible, and he was a little too aware of it -- going on to explain that he was reading each think piece about his movie, which apparently bothered him a lot.

He also notes that it was affecting his home life, adding ... "It was really hard, and that was when I thought it was unfair to me and unfair to [my wife] Emily, and I can’t approach my work this way anymore. Some s*** has to change, so I started counseling. I still talk to my therapist about that."

Even now, Kumail thinks he's still suffering from the experience -- saying ... "Emily says that I do have trauma from it. We actually just got dinner with somebody else from that movie and we were like, 'That was tough, wasn’t it?’ and he’s like ‘Yeah, that was really tough.'

Kumail Nanjiani dice que los críticos de cine fueron tan duros con su película de Marvel de hace unos años que pensó que lo mejor sería ver a un psiquiatra.

El actor que interpretó a uno de los protagonistas de "Eternals" de 2021, contó la historia en el pódcast "Inside of You" con Michael Rosenbaum, donde explicó que el trabajo que puso en el filme no se condice con la reacción de la gente.

Kumai dijo que las críticas eran terribles y él era demasiado consciente de ello, pasando a explicar que estaba leyendo cada artículo de opinión acerca de su película, lo que al parecer lo molestó mucho.

También señala que estaba afectando a su vida familiar, añadiendo: "Fue muy duro, y fue entonces cuando pensé que era injusto para mí y para Emily [(su mujer), y que ya no podía enfocar mi trabajo de esta manera. Algunas cosas tienen que cambiar, así que empecé a ir a terapia. Todavía hablo con mi terapeuta sobre esto".

Incluso ahora, Kumail cree que todavía está sufriendo por la experiencia, diciendo: "Emily dice que sí tengo un trauma por ello. De hecho, acabamos de cenar con otra persona involucrada en esa película y estábamos como, "Eso fue duro, ¿no?" Y él dijo: "Sí, eso fue muy duro".

Un miembro del equipo falleció en un conocido estudio de cine de Los Ángeles y pasó mientras se preparaba para un espectáculo de Marvel... TMZ ha confirmado.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que los socorristas fueron enviados al Radford Studio Center en Studio City el Martes a las afueras del centro de Los Ángeles en respuesta a un accidente.

Nos informan que los paramédicos llegaron al lote y se encontraron con un hombre de mediana edad que fue declarado muerto. Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que el hombre parece haber caído de la zona de las vigas en el escenario de sonido temprano en la mañana.

Según Deadline, se trataba de un trabajador que estaba preparando el set para la serie de televisión de Marvel "Wonder Man", cuya producción no está prevista que comience hasta el próximo mes. Un representante de Marvel dice: "Nuestros pensamientos y más profundas condolencias están con su familia y amigos y nuestro apoyo está detrás de la investigación sobre las circunstancias de este accidente".

"Wonder Man" está protagonizada por Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, y Destin Daniel Cretton se encargará de la producción de la serie que se estrenará en Disney+. El hombre que murió estaba encargado de la creación de luces para el set.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que hay una investigación federal en proceso... OSHA está investigando.

La identidad de la persona aún no ha sido revelada.

A crew member fell to his death at a well-known movie studio in Los Angeles -- and it was while preparing for a show for none other than Marvel ... TMZ has confirmed.

Law enforcement sources tell us first responders were dispatched to Radford Studio Center in Studio City, CA Tuesday -- just outside of central L.A. -- in response to an apparent accident on a set there.

We're told paramedics arrived to sound stage 3 on the lot and came upon a middle-aged man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Our sources tell us the man appears to have fallen from the rafters area in the sound stage ... and it happened early in the morning.

According to Deadline, it was actually a worker who was prepping a set for Marvel's "Wonder Man" TV show -- which isn't set to go into production until next month. A Marvel rep says ... "Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family and friends, and our support is behind the investigation into the circumstances of this accident."

"Wonder Man" is set to star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II -- with Destin Daniel Cretton set to develop the show -- which will eventually debut on Disney+. The man who died was reportedly a rigger ... somebody who deals with setting up lights on set.

Our sources tell us there's no foul play suspected at this point in the police investigation -- but we're told this has actually triggered a federal probe ... OSHA's now looking into it.

The identity of the individual who perished has yet to be revealed.

Ava DuVernay's just like the rest of us ... thrilled that Angela Bassett's finally bagged an Oscar at the Governors Awards, but she's also clarifying it's its own thing -- separate from an Academy Award at the big show.

TMZ got the director out in NYC, where she made the distinction between the Governors Awards and the prestigious, world-renowned Academy Awards coming up in 2 months ... where bagging a shiny gold statuette is the pinnacle of every actor's career.

Ava says it was high time for the Academy to honor Angela's body of work. Of course, she's also been nominated for 2 acting Oscars -- Best Actress for 1993's "What's Love Got To Do With It" and Best Supporting Actress for 2022's 'Wakanda Forever' -- but has yet to win one.

With that said, Ava -- who's one of the Academy Governors herself -- was thrilled to witness Angela get this well-deserved recognition ... and made it clear the Governors Award and Academy Awards are separate entities.

She also raves about getting to watch Ms. Bassett do her thing, and was especially inspired by her acceptance speech.

As for Angela ... she was stoked to be highlighted -- urging fellow Black actresses to think of who their ancestors intended them to be ... telling them to remain courageous.

She also paid tribute to the empowered women she's represented in her roles -- real queens like Tina Turner, Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King ... and, of course, Wakanda's fictional Queen Ramonda.

Ava DuVernay es como todos nosotros... está encantada de que Angela Bassett finalmente haya recibido un Oscar en los Governors Awards, pero también aclara que no es exactamente el verdadero premio.

TMZ se reunió con la directora en Nueva York, donde hizo la distinción entre los Governors Awards y los prestigiosos y mundialmente conocidos Premios de la Academia que se celebran dentro de dos meses, donde llevarse una brillante estatuilla dorada es el pináculo de la carrera de todo actor.

Así que si usted está celebrando que Angela finalmente se ganó un Oscar después de perder en 2 nominaciones anteriores -en 1993 con "What's Love Got To Do With It" y en 2022 con "Wakanda Forever", Ava está diciendo, momento... este aún no es el real.

Sin embargo, Ava nos dice que está muy feliz de que su "hermosa hermana" haya sido reconocida por su trabajo en general en la ceremonia de los Governors Awards, donde su amiga Regina King le entregó el premio.

Ella también delira sobre poder ver Angela hacer lo suyo en el escenario y dijo que se sintió especialmente inspirada por su discurso de aceptación.

Angela instó a sus compañeras actrices negras a pensar en lo que sus antepasados querían que fueran, diciéndoles que sigan siendo valientes.

Coretta Scott King's daughter appears to be taking a swipe at Jonathan Majors after the actor name-dropped Dr. Martin Luther King's widow in his first interview since being found guilty of assault and harassment.

Dr. Bernice King, Coretta and MLK's youngest daughter, seemingly slammed Jonathan in a social media post Tuesday, saying ... "My mother wasn't a prop."

Remember ... Jonathan's assault trial included audio of him telling his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari -- the one he was convicted of assaulting and harassing -- to be more like Coretta and Michelle Obama while declaring, "I'm a great man."

Majors again invoked Coretta's name in an interview with ABC -- which aired Monday -- in praise of girlfriend Meagan Good's unwavering support during the trial.

Jonathan said of Meagan ... "She's an angel ... she's held me down like a Coretta. I'm so blessed to have her."

There's been a ton of backlash online about Jonathan using Coretta's name again ... and while Bernice is not calling him out by name, it seems pretty clear he's who she's targeting here.

Bernice says her mother "was a peace advocate before she met my father and was instrumental in him speaking out against the Vietnam War" ... and adds, "Please understand…my mama was a force."

Jonathan Majors mantiene su inocencia incluso después de ser declarado culpable por un jurado, afirmando en su primera entrevista televisada que quedó impactado por el veredicto.

El actor habló en exclusiva con ‘GMA’, emitido el lunes, donde Linsey Davis hizo algunas preguntas bastante difíciles, incluyendo si hizo lo que se le acusó por parte de la Oficina del Fiscal del Distrito de Manhattan, a saber, el agredir a su exnovia Grace Jabbari.

Majors insiste en que no lo hizo… por lo que afirma que quedó atónito por el resultado, una condena por dos de los cuatro cargos, incluyendo el acoso y agresión, aunque eran los 2 cargos menos graves.

Davis le preguntó cómo Jabbari pudo haber sufrido sus lesiones si no fue él… encogió los hombros, diciendo que no tiene idea, pero que le encantaría descubrirlo para encontrar algo de paz.

También se le interrogó sobre un audio en el que sermoneaba a Jabbari sobre cómo debía ser más como Michelle Obama y Coretta Scott King si quería estar con él.

Jon afirma que simplemente señalaba a grandes personas a las que aspiraba a ser como ellas… defendiendo su discurso.

Hay otros puntos destacados, pero estos son los más importantes, Majors termina expresando su arrepentimiento por cómo manejó las cosas con su ex. Alega que debió ser lo suficientemente hombre como para dejarla antes de esa noche… y que no debió estar en el auto con ella.
