Jonathan Majors movie faces uncertain future following trial ruling.

The former Marvel star Jonathan Majors is continuing to face setbacks following the trial verdict about the 2023 incident involving his ex-partner Grace Jabbari. The trial verdict has resulted in Disney-owned Marvel cutting all ties with Majors, who was set to play the next supervillain in the MCU, Kang the Conqueror. Recent updates have revealed that his other film, titled Magazine Dreams, which was scheduled to be released in December 2023, is now facing an uncertain faith.

Directed by Elijah Bynum, Magazine Dreams premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. It follows the journey of a bodybuilder named Killian Maddox, as he grapples with personal demons. Jonathan Majors garnered praise for his compelling performance in the movie, leading to its acquisition by Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures.

Initially slated for an awards-friendly December release, the film was removed from the schedule in October, reportedly due to Majors’ trial. However, there are no further updates about its potential release. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Searchlight has chosen to remain silent regarding the project’s future.

Sources have also claimed that chances of the film securing a theatrical release are minimal, and it’s also unlikely to get a premiere slot on Disney’s streaming service, Hulu. Despite prevailing uncertainties, some insiders are optimistic and suggest that Searchlight could return it to filmmakers, who can further shop it to other potential buyers.

The movie was believed to have had a significant chance of making waves during award season. Unfortunately, Majors’ legal troubles have cast a shadow over the film’s trajectory. The actor has been convicted of assault in the third degree and harassment, with his sentencing scheduled for February 6, 2024.

Netizens Speak Up on Magazine Dreams’ Release

With the new reports claiming that Jonathan Majors starrer Magazine Dreams is unlikely to get a release, people took to X (Twitter) to voice their opinions on the matter. Some users expressed the hope that the film never gets released, while others held contrasting views.

One X (Twitter) user stated that the unreleased “film should be locked away in a vault,” and many users agreed with the opinion as they called Magazine Dreams a “horrible movie.” Many also claimed that they were looking forward to the movie but have changed their mind since the actor “messed” things up.
