Jonathan Majors Films New Action Movie with The Daily Wire
Jonathan Majors, formerly recognized for his role in Marvel films, is set to return to the big screen. Following his late 2023 conviction for domestic violence, Majors is currently filming an action movie with The Daily Wire, a conservative media outlet.
Details of the Upcoming Action Film
The still-untitled film is being shot in South Carolina. It is produced by Ben Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier, both prominent figures associated with The Daily Wire.
- Producers: Ben Shapiro, Dallas Sonnier
- Screenwriter: Kyle Rankin
- Similar Films: Red Dawn, Toy Soldiers
The screenplay was penned by Rankin, who previously wrote the script for The Daily Wire’s inaugural feature, “Run Hide Fight,” released in 2021.
Release Speculations
It is uncertain whether this new film will be released in theaters, akin to Matt Walsh’s controversial documentary “Am I Racist?” Alternatively, it may be available exclusively on The Daily Wire’s streaming platform.
Jonathan Majors’ Recent Projects
Before this project, Majors had limited media appearances due to his legal troubles. His film “Magazine Dreams” was released last March, although it was completed prior to his conviction.

The Daily Wire’s Controversial Casting Choices

- Armie Hammer featured in “Frontier Crucible,” produced by Bonfire Legend, which has a distribution deal with The Daily Wire.
- Gina Carano starred in “Terror On The Prairie,” which had modest earnings of approximately $800 in the U.S.
Future Projects
In addition to his current film, reports indicate that Majors may also star in “Merciless,” directed by Martin Villeneuve, brother of Denis Villeneuve. However, the status of this project remains unclear as of now.
