Jonathan Majors stars in the new action thriller 'Run Hide Fight: Infidels', which is the latest release from Ben Shapiro’s Nashville-based streaming studio. The film was co-produced with Bonfire Legend, a studio headquartered in Austin.
The film features Majors as Captain Saunders, a Delta Force veteran, who is thrust into an Islamist mass-casualty attack on a college campus. The film's trailer reportedly conflated fictional clips with actual footage of the 9/11 attacks, pro-Palestine protests, and Fox News personalities.
Reactions to the film have been polarised, with mainstream filmgoers and critics reportedly deriding the premise as xenophobic and Islamophobic. Conversely, right-wing commentators in the media and online have reportedly cheered the film's "brazen political incorrectness."
Majors was arrested three years ago following an altercation with his girlfriend and was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment. Following this, Marvel recast his role as Kang the Conqueror, and the US army dropped him as a spokesperson.
