The drama-filled world of Hollywood has struck again, folks. It seems like the set of Jonathan Majors’ new action movie has turned into a real-life action movie, complete with stunt glass panels shattering and actors tumbling out of windows 🤯. We’re not sure what’s more shocking, the fact that the tempered glass was just “sitting loosely” in the window or that the production team thought that was a good idea 🙄. Meanwhile, Jonathan Majors and his co-star JC Kilcoyne took an unexpected leap of faith out of a window, with Kilcoyne getting stitches “all over his hands” 🤕. Majors, on the other hand, walked away unscathed, because, well, he’s a superhero or something 🦸♂️.
The incident happened on the set of an untitled Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend action movie in South Carolina, because what’s a movie without a little bit of danger and excitement, right? 🎥 The crew was filming a scene when the stunt glass panel behind Majors and Kilcoyne gave out, sending them both tumbling about six feet out of the window 🌆. We’re no experts, but maybe they should’ve used, like, actual stunt professionals or something 🤷♂️.
According to Deadline, the tempered glass was only sitting loosely in the window, which is just a fancy way of saying “we didn’t bother to secure it properly” 🙅♂️. And to make matters worse, Kilcoyne required stitches all over his hands, because who needs hands when you’re an action star, anyway? 🤷♂️. Majors, on the other hand, was uninjured, which is just proof that he’s a superhero in real life too 🦸♂️.
Sources told Deadline that the accident occurred after the panel had been replaced with a sheet of tempered glass intended to be shattered during a later stunt, because who needs safety protocols when you’re making a movie, right? 🎬. Following the incident, more than half of the crew decided to walk off and unionize with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), resulting in a labor strike on March 26, because even Hollywood crews have had enough of the nonsense 🚫.
The union initially tried to get production to secure payment into the union’s health and pension funds, but things got more serious as the safety concerns grew over the past five weeks of production, including concerns regarding the alleged discovery of black mold on set and incidents involving props falling onto members of the crew 🌪️. Because, you know, safety first, unless you’re making a movie, then it’s all about the drama and action 🎥.
In a statement, producer Dallas Sonnier slammed the strike and said he and his fellow producers were “too busy being bad asses, blowing sh-t up, flying helicopters, and killing movie terrorists to concern ourselves with four a–holes with signs on the sidewalk” 🚁. “The entire industry is in freefall due to strikes, and now that their members are out of work, they’re trying to sabotage the few people who are still producing. We don’t negotiate with communists,” Sonnier added, because who needs diplomacy when you can just insult people, right? 🙄.
The untitled action movie is set to be Majors’ on-screen comeback following his firing by Marvel from his role as Kang the Conqueror, because who needs a reputation when you can just make more movies, right? 🎬. Majors starred as Kang in multiple episodes of the Disney+ series Loki, as well as in 2023’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which released in theaters a little over a month before Majors was arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend 🚔. He was later found guilty of harassment and reckless assault in the 3rd degree and was released by Disney shortly after, because who needs a job when you’ve got a record, right? 📝.
His most recent film role was in Creed III, which hit theaters just a few weeks before he was arrested, because what’s a movie without a little bit of controversy, right? 🎥. And now, he’s making a comeback, because Hollywood loves a good comeback story, especially when it involves a little bit of drama and action 🎬. So, stay tuned, folks, this movie is shaping up to be a real blockbuster, complete with action, drama, and a healthy dose of controversy 🍿.
