Jonathan Majors is officially filming again. After losing his role as Marvel’s next big villain due to a 2023 conviction, the actor was spotted in South Carolina this week shooting a new, untitled action movie. This project, produced by The Daily Wire, is a gritty, high-energy throwback to ’80s and ’90s classics like Red Dawn. It marks his first time on a film set in four years, signaling a major attempt to rebuild his career outside of Hollywood’s biggest studios.
This comeback is a huge gamble. While Marvel has moved on to Robert Downey Jr., Majors is lining up several new roles, including a supernatural thriller called Merciless and an urban action film titled True Threat. For the first time, audiences will see if he can successfully transition from a superhero blockbuster star to a hard-hitting independent action lead.
