US EditionJonathan Majors Plots Acting Comeback After Assault Conviction—With Daily Wire-Produced Movie
The Daily Wire is producing an 1980s/90s style action film starring Jonathan Majors in his first lead role since 2023, with filming underway in South Carolina.
- This week, cameras started rolling in South Carolina for an untitled action movie starring Jonathan Majors, actor and executive producer for Tall Street Productions, produced by The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend.

- The casting reignites debate because Majors was dropped by Marvel Studios after his 2023 conviction, and Shapiro posted `You're not going to BELIEVE what we're doing.` Thursday.
