Summary
- Majors stars in action thriller 'Run Hide Fight: Infidels,' set for fall release.
- Film depicts terrorists seizing a campus pro-Palestine encampment.
- This role is Majors' first acting project since his conviction.
Actor Jonathan Majors is returning to the screen in "Run Hide Fight: Infidels," a $5 million action thriller slated for release this fall. This project marks Majors' first acting engagement since his December 2023 conviction for misdemeanor assault and harassment, which resulted in his dismissal from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The film, a sequel to the 2020 movie "Run Hide Fight," casts Majors as a Delta Force veteran. His character is tasked with saving students when Islamic terrorists take over a college campus pro-Palestine encampment and attempt to impose Sharia law. The trailer teaser for the film was released recently, drawing immediate criticism online from users questioning Majors' career choices.
Production of "Run Hide Fight: Infidels" faced its own challenges, including an incident in April where Majors and co-star JC Kilcoyne fell through a window. This event exacerbated an ongoing strike by unionized crew members concerned about safety conditions. Producer Dallas Sonnier described the film as a mockery of the pro-Palestine movement.
