The new film Jonathan Majors , “Magazine Dreams” got a release date after Disney removed the title from its release list amid the actor’s legal problems.
Briarcliff Entertainment CEO Tony Ortenberg told CNN on Wednesday (2) that the company acquired the distribution rights to the project in the United States, which will be released in theaters in early 2025.
Majors, who previously appeared in “Creed III” and in Marvel productions “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Loki” plays an amateur bodybuilder in the new film, which also stars Haley Bennett (“The Seven Great Men” and “Swallow”).
“’Magazine Dreams’ is a visceral experience that challenges perceptions of ambition and identity,” Ortenberg said in a statement.
“Jonathan Majors’ transcendent performance as Killian Maddox will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most compelling and transformative roles in recent film history,” he added.
Briarcliff Entertainment is also the distributor behind the upcoming film “The Apprentice” which chronicles former President Donald Trump’s New York real estate dealings in the 1980s and stars Sebastian Stan like Trumo.
The star of “Succession” Jeremy Strong is also in the cast as Roy Cohn and the Oscar-nominated actress from “Borat 2” Maria Bakalova like Ivana Trump.
“Magazine Dreams” was originally acquired by Searchlight after receiving acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival last year. It was scheduled for release in December, but was removed from Disney’s release calendar shortly before Majors’ trial began.
In December, a New York jury found Majors guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend during a domestic dispute. He was convicted of one count of third-degree reckless assault and one non-criminal count of harassment as a rape.
Majors, who had previously pleaded not guilty to all charges, was acquitted of another count of assault and one count of aggravated harassment. He avoided prison but was sentenced to a mandatory 52-week in-person domestic violence prevention program.
Majors was set to reprise his Marvel character in what was previously titled “Avengers: Kang Dynasty” as well as “Avengers: Secret Wars,” but Marvel announced in July that “Kang Dynasty” was being replaced by “Avengers: Doomsday.” , featuring the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU.
