- The untitled action movie, produced by Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire and Dallas Sonnier’s Bonfire Legend, is directed by Kyle Rankin and stars Majors, who is also an executive producer under his Tall Street Productions banner.
- Jonathan Majors is making a career comeback following a 2023 domestic assault conviction that led to his removal from major projects, with recent positive reception for his role in "Magazine Dreams" and upcoming appearances in other films.
