- Jonathan Majors and his costar JC Kilcoyne fell through a window on the set of his upcoming action movie.
- The crew for the film, which is produced by Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, reportedly went on strike, citing alleged labor issues.
- Dallas Sonnier, a producer for the project, tells **, "The actors' fall was shorter than the failed movie careers of the now-union reps."
Jonathan Majors' comeback isn't going entirely according to plan.
In a new video, the *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania* actor can be seen falling through a window on the set of his new untitled action movie produced by The Daily Wire, the right-wing media company founded by Ben Shapiro.
In the clip, published by Deadline, Majors and his costar JC Kilcoyne move backward as the former's character seems to be shot, and then fall through a set of blinds and out of frame. The audio appears to capture the sound of glass breaking, prompting multiple people on set to exclaim, "Ooh!"

Multiple crew members then rush over to look outside the window and ask if the actors are all right. One person says, "I'm good, you good," to which another responds, "I'm good."
One voice can be heard saying, "Did we shoot it?"
A crew member later warns, "Be careful of the glass, guys."
Representatives for Majors and Kilcoyne did not immediately respond to **'s request for comment.
The crew union International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees** **called a strike against the film's production last month over a series of alleged labor issues, Deadline reported earlier this week. The outlet also reported that the window in the video was replaced by tempered glass intended to be shattered during a later stunt that was not supposed to involve any of the actors.
When reached for comment about the incident and the crew members' allegations, the project's producer, Dallas Sonnier, told EW, "The actors' fall was shorter than the failed movie careers of the now-union reps."

A representative for Kilcoyne told Deadline that the actor "is doing well and was taken care of immediately by production," noting that "JC did not feel unsafe on set and continues to have a positive experience working on the project."
Majors received acclaim for his performances in dramas like *Da 5 Bloods* and *The Last Black Man in San Francisco*, and his star continued to rise after he appeared in franchise fare like *Creed III* and *Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania*. However, his career momentum came to a halt when he was found guilty of one count of assault in the third degree and one count of harassment in the second degree in December 2023. Though he did not face prison time for the conviction, Majors was ordered to complete a 52-week in-person batterer's intervention program and continue his mental health therapy.

After the controversy, Marvel Studios canceled its plans to make Majors' character Kang the Conqueror the main antagonist of its upcoming *Avengers* movie, the title of which was changed from *Avengers: The Kang Dynasty* to *Avengers: Doomsday*. Later, reports surfaced that Searchlight Pictures — also owned by Marvel's parent company, Disney — returned the distribution rights it had purchased for Majors' bodybuilding drama *Magazine Dreams*. The film was eventually released by Briarcliff Entertainment.
