Allen is slowly making a significant impact in the industry with their distinctive storytelling style and visually striking cinematography.

Their influence extends beyond the director's chair, as they are often involved in various aspects of film production, acting as cinematographer and editor on various projects. They have also become most noteworthy for his comments about Jonathan Majors.

Once hailed as a rising star in Hollywood, Majors faced serious assault allegations from his girlfriend, leading to his arrest on March 25, 2023. The entertainment community and public alike are closely following the legal process, with Majors' career hanging in the balance amidst these serious allegations.

A.B. Allen Called Jonathan Majors An "Abusive Human" A Month Before His Arrest

A month before Jonathan Majors' arrest, A.B. Allen made a startling revelation on social media (via Sports Skeeda), referring to Majors as a "vicious, cruel, abusive human being." Allen's since-deleted tweet, which quickly garnered attention, pointed to Majors' behavior in both professional and personal spheres. At the time, Majors was celebrated as an up-and-coming star with a promising future, making Allen's comments particularly jarring. However, Allen didn't reveal the name of the actor, and it wasn't until Majors' arrest that followers realized who the filmmaker was speaking about. Allen said:

There's a particular actor, relatively new on the scene, who Twitter has violently fallen head over heels for who, in actuality, is a vicious, cruel, abusive human being, both professionally and in his personal life, and every new viral thirst tweet about him drives me insane.

Allen later expressed regret over their initial tone, acknowledging the severity of the allegations against Majors. He clarified that their knowledge of Majors' behavior did not include physical violence but emphasized the potential for emotionally violent or professionally abusive individuals to escalate to physical aggression. The director clarified, "Everything I've known about has not been physical. It's not a huge leap at all for emotionally violent/professionally abusive people to become physically violent as well, but I was not made aware of it." Allen's statements, while not directly accusing Majors of physical assault, hinted at a problematic pattern of behavior, raising serious concerns about the actor's character.

Broadway Actor Tim Nicolai Also Commented On Majors' Past Behavior

Majors still starred in the Loki season 2 cast, but he is losing movie roles following the allegations (via Deadline). Now, Broadway actor Tim Nicolai added his voice to the chorus of concerns surrounding Jonathan Majors. Nicolai, familiar with Majors from their shared circles in Yale and the broader New York City community, described Majors as a "sociopath and ab." His comments echoed a sentiment reportedly shared by many who had encountered Majors over the years. Nicolai said:

I’m just gonna say this about Jonathan Majors and be done with it: folks at Yale and the broader NYC community have known about him for years. He’s a sociopath and ab and that is how virtually everyone speaks about him. I’m already seeing a bunch of ‘why didn’t you do anything?!’ Folks, people have tried. Ultimately needed a victim to come forward. It’s both simultaneously awful to know he is still doing this and also a relief that he may never get to again.

Nicolai addressed the frustration and helplessness experienced by those aware of Majors' alleged behavior, noting the challenges in taking action without a victim coming forward. He expressed both dismay at the continuation of Majors' alleged actions and relief at the possibility of them coming to an end. Nicolai's insights painted a troubling picture of Jonathan Majors, one that stands in stark contrast to the actor's public persona prior to his arrest. With Majors' future unclear, the MCU is seemingly on standby, and another villain could replace Kang in Avengers 5.
