Marvel Fans Outraged Over Studio Bringing Back One Actor Following Serious Sexual Harassment Accusations

This year’s D23 was full of reveals related to Marvel Studios’ live-action projects. Numerous projects got their first teaser trailers and among them was ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’ The footage features first looks at plenty of characters including the villain Muse, White Tiger, but we’ve also seen that one surprising character is set to appear in the show Kamala Khan’s father – Yusuf Khan.

Fans were surprised that the show would have connections to Ms. Marvel, but even more shocking was the revelation that the studio is bringing the actor back in light of alleged sexual harassment accusations.

Yusuf Khan portrayed by Mohan Kapur so far appeared in two MCU projects ‘Ms. Marvel’ and ‘The Marvels,’ but sometime in 2022 a series of shocking allegations against him surfaced online. An anonymous Twitter user going under the handle @Nayaaaax3 shared her story on the platform which immediately drew attention:

“TW: When I was 14 years old, I was a fan of this serial actress & we became friends. Her partner at that time Mohan Kapur also became friends with me. I respected the both of them almost like 2nd parents, & told them about my stressful life. But Mohan Kapur took advantage of me.”

“We constantly talked until I notice he started flirting with me. Then when I was 15 years old Mohan Kapur sent his d**k pics to me. He was apologizing nonstop & was depressed…. I forgave him. But after that he continued to harass me….

Said things like how he was in love with me, wanted to marry me, wanting me to grow up to be with him, and can’t wait for me to get older so I can sleep with him. Now I know that Mohan Kapur was grooming me.”

“His partner (now ex) knew the type of man he was…. She was aware that he was talking to me. When I met her in person, I told her everything that was happening. A year later I stopped talking to her after she started gaslighting me. I was so depressed about this situation….

She told me how “I threw my baggage on her”…. I really truly felt that this woman didn’t care at all for what Mohan Kapur was doing to me…”

“I was so confused & depressed…. I’m not sure if it’s Stockholm syndrome “or what but I kept on thinking that all of this was my fault… and kept on wanting to be his friend again. I kept on thinking that he really truly cared about me… but he didn’t.

My depression got worst & I was planning to take my own life…. I kept on calling Mohan Kapur… he ignore my calls… and at times told me to get over it. Then completely twist the whole story to make me look like the bad person… he kept on saying that he can’t trust me…”

“The last time I talked to Mohan Kapur was 2020 and I was crying… I said I really can’t take any of this anymore…. Hoping that he would apologize & understand the trauma he had cause. Instead he told me that he can’t trust me and the only way he can trust me again is if….

She also shared a conversation with Kapur, which revealed his justification for requesting explicit nude images from her.

@Nayaaaax3: “Why did you ask me to send you nudes”

Kapur: “To keep as proof your intentions. You have misconstrued our conversations to make it sound that I was sexually harassing you. I have all the stuff myself too. I don’t say things cause that’s not what friends do. And I won’t either” 

As you can see, these allegations were pretty serious, but ultimately nothing came out of it, and to this day we never come across an update on this whole situation in general, we can only assume that the allegations were fake considering that Kapur appeared in 1 project since then and is set to appear in one more.

Kapur might not be in danger when it comes to the legal system, however, he is still subject to the court of public opinion and as soon the ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ footage was released, plenty of fans took to social media to call out Marvel Studios on hiring a potential sex offender:

Some fans also pointed out that Majors lost his gig as Kang the Conqueror while Kapur kept his gig as Yusuf Khan. But as you can probably understand yourself, allegations and being convicted and sentenced for a crime are nowhere near similar situations to be compared.
