Jonathan Majors Injured on Daily Wire Set; Producers Downplay Accident Amid Strike

Recent developments on the set of Jonathan Majors’ new action film have raised eyebrows. The movie is being produced by The Daily Wire, under the leadership of Ben Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier’s Bonfire Legend. An on-set accident involving Majors and his co-star JC Kilcoyne has occurred, bringing significant attention to the project.

Details of the Accident

According to a source from Deadline, the accident took place during filming. Video footage shows both actors inadvertently falling through a window. The incident was reported to have occurred due to an unsecured sheet of tempered glass, which was meant to shatter during a later stunt.

The actors fell around six feet to the ground. After the fall, crew members quickly rushed to assess their condition. Majors was heard asking if the production had recorded the action scene, stating, “Did we shoot it? Use it.”

Injuries and Reactions

JC Kilcoyne suffered minor injuries, requiring stitches on his hands. His representatives confirmed that he received prompt care and expressed that he felt safe while working on set. As for Majors, no comments have been provided by his representatives regarding the incident.

Production Challenges

This accident has coincided with labor disputes, leading to a crew strike that began on March 26. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) initiated the strike due to various labor concerns, marking the event as a potential breaking point for many crew members.

• Accident involved Jonathan Majors and JC Kilcoyne.
• Occurred due to unsecured tempered glass on set.
• IATSE called a strike over labor issues.
• Producers seeking replacement crew members.

Film Background

The film, currently operating under the working title “Knuckle,” is being directed by Kyle Rankin. Rankin has collaborated with The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend previously on the 2020 action movie “Run Hide Fight.” The plot is largely kept secret, though early information suggests it revolves around American warriors defending their homeland.

Majors, who also serves as an executive producer on the film, is navigating a complicated career landscape. Following a domestic assault conviction in 2023, his career faced setbacks despite a strong performance in recent films. He has gained positive reviews for his role in “Magazine Dreams” and is set to star in the upcoming thriller “Merciless.”
