Los Angeles, February 27 (NationPress) - Acclaimed Hollywood actor Jonathan Majors is poised to make a significant return to the film industry with an upcoming action project. The star, known for his role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, faced a setback in his career after being convicted of assault against his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, in 2023.

Majors is preparing to begin filming his first movie in four years, with production starting on this untitled action film in South Carolina, as reported by Female First UK.

While specific details about the movie's title, plot, and cast remain a mystery, it is said to evoke the spirit of classic '80s and '90s action flicks like Red Dawn and Toy Soldiers, focusing on young heroes uniting to fend off invading forces.

According to Female First UK, the film is being directed by Kyle Rankin, who also wrote the screenplay, with Ben Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier producing through The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend respectively.

In his journey to revitalize his career post-conviction, Majors is also confirmed to star in the supernatural revenge thriller Merciless, directed by Martin Villeneuve, which was first announced in 2024.

The 36-year-old actor previously portrayed the villain Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) before being dropped due to his legal issues. However, he expressed interest in returning to the role if given another opportunity.

During an interview with USA Today, Majors stated, "Absolutely, I would jump at the chance. Disney, Marvel Studios, I hold them in high regard."

He praised his co-stars from Loki - Tom Hiddleston and Gugu Mbatha-Raw - along with Paul Rudd from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, sharing his enthusiasm for working with them.

Majors remarked, "I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with Tom Hiddleston, Paul Rudd, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. My passion for the industry runs deep, and I feel a genuine connection with those actors."

Feeling sidelined by Hollywood compared to others who received second chances, he pointed out the leniency shown towards Robert Downey Jr., who faced drug possession charges, and Ezra Miller, who dealt with public legal troubles in 2022.

Majors commented, "It seems just that Mr. Downey and Mr. Miller have been welcomed back with empathy and understanding, while I have not been afforded the same opportunity."

Despite the challenges, the actor remains enthusiastic about reprising his role as Kang, stating, "I have a deep affection for him. If that's what the fans desire and Marvel is on board, I am ready to go. Absolutely!"
