Jonathan Majors’ domestic violence trial has been delayed for a second time.
The Marvel actor’s trial had been scheduled to start on Sept. 6, in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Instead, the judge in the case said in court Wednesday a hearing will be held on Friday, Sept. 15, to determine a new trial date, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The prosecution said it was ready for trial, but the actor’s legal team told the judge they found “deficiencies” in discovery that should be addressed before the trial begins.
Majors appeared virtually on Wednesday morning instead of attending in person, as he did in August with girlfriend Meagan Good by his side.

The Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania actor was arrested on March 25, following a dispute with his then-girlfriend on a New York City street.
An NYPD spokesperson said in March the alleged victim suffered minor injuries to her head and neck during the confrontation with Majors.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office charged Majors, 33, with multiple misdemeanor counts — including assault in the third degree, three counts of attempted assault in the third degree, one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree, and one count of harassment in the second degree.
The Creed III star has denied all of the allegations.
In a statement last month, the actor’s attorney said he was “unjustly” taken into custody.
“For an excruciating four months, Jonathan Majors, the real victim in this shameful ordeal, has had his life, career, and reputation torn apart. Yet he remains unwavering in his determination to be absolved from this harrowing ordeal,” attorney Priya Chaudhry said in a statement to Urban Hollywood 411.
Majors faces up to a year in jail if convicted as charged.
