On September 15, 2024, Jonathan Majors attended the Famous Monsters Fest. However, the news of his participation made headlines for a particular reason.

Interestingly, Jonathan Majors was hoping to make some quick cash when the actor allegedly offered pro-shot photos for $160 and autographs for $140.

Majors is continuing his attempt at a comeback despite the aftermath of his domestic abuse controversy. 

The Creed III star was found guilty of third-degree reckless assault and harassment after getting into a fight with his ex-girlfriend.

On Sunday, September 15, Majors was going to meet with fans during the Famous Monsters Fest, where he was reportedly trying to capitalize on his roles as the Marvel supervillain, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Star Trek veteran George Takei, original KISS drummer Peter Criss, Lord of the Rings actor Andy Serkis, Starcrash heroine and Bond girl Caroline Munro, and Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantummania star was all going to be present in the autograph room.

The actor confirmed his attendance in a promotional video posted on the festival’s Instagram account, stating that he would be there on September 14 and 15. 

The event took place at the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia.

Social media users had conflicting reactions to Jonathan’s appearance and his alleged demand for money for an autograph, even though such requests are common at such events.

However, when Majors’ video confirming his attendance at the event was broadcast by Famous Monsters Fest’s Instagram page, his followers responded with supportive words.
