Producers Play Down Severity of Jonathan Majors’ Accident on Movie Set
The accident intensified crew concerns, and more than 60% of workers signed union cards before the walkout, sources said.
On the set of the untitled action film Run Hide Fight Infidels, actor Jonathan Majors and co-star JC Kilcoyne fell six feet through a window after an unsecured sheet of tempered glass shattered during filming.
IATSE called a strike against the production, working under the title Knuckle, on March 26 after more than 60% of crew members signed union cards citing labor disputes and safety concerns.
Sources told Deadline the accident occurred after the window was replaced with an unsecured sheet of glass. Kilcoyne required stitches all over his hands, though his representatives said he "is doing well."
Responding to the strike on Friday, Producer Dallas Sonnier told Deadline, "The entire industry is in freefall due to strikes," and stated, "We don't negotiate with communists."
Majors stars in the project after his career stalled following a 2023 assault conviction and firing by Marvel Studios, though he recently returned to theaters in Magazine Dreams.
