In a move that’s sure to spark debate, Jonathan Majors is making a controversial comeback—this time with The Daily Wire. After a high-profile domestic violence conviction in late 2023, the former Marvel star is stepping back into the spotlight, thanks to the conservative media company. But here’s where it gets controversial: Deadline reports that Majors is currently in South Carolina filming an untitled action movie produced by Ben Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier. The script, penned by Kyle Rankin (known for Run Hide Fight, The Daily Wire’s first feature film), is said to echo the tone of classics like Red Dawn and Toy Soldiers. Yet, the big question remains: Will this film hit theaters, or will it be confined to The Daily Wire’s streaming platform? And this is the part most people miss—The Daily Wire has a history of casting actors with contentious pasts, from Armie Hammer in Frontier Crucible to Gina Carano in Terror On The Prairie, the latter of which barely made a dent at the box office. Majors’ last major release, Magazine Dreams, premiered before his legal troubles, and this marks his first shoot in four years. Meanwhile, his involvement in Martin Villeneuve’s Merciless remains shrouded in uncertainty. Is this a second chance or a misstep? Does The Daily Wire’s approach to casting set a problematic precedent? Let us know what you think in the comments—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
