Jonathan Majors is gearing up for a comeback by teaming up with the Daily Wire. The actor is reportedly filming his first movie since being found guilty of assaulting and harassing a former girlfriend in 2023.
According to Deadline, production on the untitled action movie from the Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend begins this week in South Carolina. The film is written and directed by Kyle Rankin, known for “Run Hide Fight,” and is described as being “in the vein of ’80s and ’90s action movies like ‘Red Dawn’ and ‘Toy Soldiers.’”
In addition to starring in the film, Majors will also serve as an executive producer, the entertainment outlet reported. Daily Wire co-founder and right-wing pundit Ben Shapiro shared the news on X, saying, “You’re not going to BELIEVE what we’re doing.” On Facebook, he added, “This movie is going to be WILD.”
Majors was a Hollywood star on the rise when he was arrested on charges of assault, strangulation, and harassment in March 2023. The “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” actor was swiftly dropped from projects, his management company, and his public relations team.
Once poised to be the next central villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Majors was also dropped by Marvel Studios following his conviction. Despite avoiding jail time, he has since married fellow actor Meagan Good after a brief engagement.
In addition to Shapiro, who will be producing for the Daily Wire, Dallas Sonnier will be producing for Bonfire Legend. Neither company has shied away from courting disgraced Hollywood talent looking to revive their careers.
