The first look at the Jonathan Majors–led movie from Ben Shapiro and his company Daily Wire has been released.

The movie, titled Run. Hide. Fight: Infidels, marks a second entry in the action franchise from Kyle Rankin, who is directing his own screenplay.

Majors plays a Delta Force vet who teams up with a "ragtag band of red-blooded students," and a security guard "tired of 'Uncle Tom' smears" to fight "radical Islamic terrorists" enforcing Sharia law on students.

The first look at Jonathan Majors' upcoming action film has been released and it's safe to say it'll spark conversation.

Released on Thursday the trailer for the action film, titled Run. Hide. Fight: Infidels opens with a montage of images from real-life terror attacks, including footage from September 11, 2001. Other images flash by, such as photos from 2024's nationwide college protests over the war in Gaza, Fox News hosts reporting on terror plots, and a clip of Donald Trump's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, telling the network, "Radical Islam has designs openly on the West."

The footage ends on a moving shot of a college campus over which an ISIS flag flies as the call to prayer rings out. Surrounding students stop what they’re doing, drop prayer mats, and orient themselves toward Mecca to begin praying.

As the camera pulls away, the trailer cuts to the ominous tagline, "Coming soon... Or already here."

While the trailer doesn't feature Majors, the ousted Marvel alum will have a prominent role in the film, playing a Delta Force veteran who joins forces with students and a security guard in a plot that feels like Zero Dark Thirty for remedial readers.

The description of the film, which is produced by conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro and his Daily Wire company, reads: "When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college's pro-Palestine encampment to enforce barbaric Sharia law on students and execute infidels in a makeshift caliphate, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of 'Uncle Tom' smears, and a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers and keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil."

Some may remember this was the film Majors was working on when he was seen falling through a window in April.

In the clip, published by Deadline at the time, 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 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."

The outlet reported that the crew union International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employeescalled for a strike against the film's production over a series of alleged labor issues. However, when reached for comment about the incident and the crew members' allegations, the project's other producer, Dallas Sonnier, told Entertainment Weekly, "The actors' fall was shorter than the failed movie careers of the now-union reps."

The film is Majors' first project since 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.

Majors is not the first Hollywood star to make his comeback with a film from the Daily Wire and production company Bonfire Legend. The conservative media brands previously produced the Armie Hammer vehicle Frontier Crucible following a sex scandal, and, after Gina Carano's controversial exit from Star Wars series The Mandalorian, the next film the actress starred in, Terror on the Prairie.

"Both Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend have a history of movies that nobody else could make, nobody else could release," Sonnier told Page Six about his company. "We all worship at the altar of John Milius and Red Dawn. And Eastwood, and all the other wonderful action stars of the '80s, Stallone and Schwarzenegger. Nobody's making these types of movies anymore."

"The woke mind virus has captured Hollywood for the past 12 years, and while woke is winding down, there is a new obsession with the anti-Israel, pro-Palestine movement that deserves to be mocked in a movie again," Sonnier added. "If you're afraid to put radical jihadis as your villains, then you're a wimpy movie producer. We don't have that fear."

Sonnier also declared that Majors would do press for the film. "He loved the script, loved shooting the movie, is so great in the film, and he is totally 1,000% behind it," he asserted.
