Here comes another potential B-movie project for Jonathan Majors whose long-delayed “Magazine Dreams” was released this past weekend and only managed to earn $700k at the box office.
According to Deadline, Majors is set to star in “True Threat.” The actor will play Special Forces operative “Vernon Threat” as he embarks on a relentless quest for justice after his teenage son is murdered by a Harlem gang.
Gerard McMurray directs “True Threat” from a screenplay he co-wrote with Hodge K. Johnson. The film is said to feature 52 Blocks, a Black American martial arts style yet to be included in a major motion picture.
No word yet on whether this will be Majors’ next film. He also has Martin Villeneuve’s “Merciless,” a sci-fi thriller that I previously reported might have hit a roadblock in post-production.
Just a few weeks ago, the rehabilitation phase of Majors’ career was in full throttle via a fawning THR interview that rubbed many people the wrong way. In it, Michael B. Jordan revealed that he wanted Majors to star in his upcoming “Creed IV.”
However, things got a tad more complicated a few days after the THR interview, that’s when Rolling Stone published recently unearthed audio of Majors admitting to strangling his ex-girlfriend.
Yes, things are looking rough these days for Majors who was fired as Kang in the MCU, and a personal letter to Marvel head Feige didn’t seem to improve anything as the actor recently admitted he never got a reply back from Feige.
Majors’ once-promising career was derailed after having been convicted of reckless assault and harassment in December. He was sentenced to a 52-week, in-person domestic violence intervention program in April. The case, which had been extensively reported on, for many months, involved an altercation Majors had with his ex-girlfriend in March of 2023.
Marvel's "Ghost Rider" just hired one of the best cinematographers working today. Linus Sandgren will serve as DP on Shawn Levy's MCU flick, and, most notably, the project will be shot on film.
