Jonathan Majors is back on screen in Run Hide Fight: Infidels. The first full trailer is out, and The Daily Wire has set the film for September 16.
That pairing matters because the movie is being positioned as a comeback project after Majors was dropped from numerous projects. It also arrives with a release plan that gives the film a fixed launch date instead of a loose rollout window.
Kyle Rankin Returns
Kyle Rankin is back as writer-director, keeping the project tied to the same creative lane that produced Run Hide Fight in 2020. The new film is described as a sequel of sorts to that title, which signals continuity even as the cast and publicity cycle shift around Majors.
The trailer also pushes the movie squarely into action revival territory, with the film said to be in the vein of the 1980s and 1990s titles Red Dawn and Toy Soldiers. That framing gives the release a clearer commercial lane: familiar genre language, a recognizable lead, and a platform rollout built around a single date.
Production Under Pressure
The film has not moved through production cleanly. A labor strike and safety concerns followed an on-set accident in which Jonathan Majors and JC Kilcoyne fell through an unsecured window, adding friction to a project already carrying attention for reasons beyond the screen.
Ben Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier are producing the film for The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend, respectively, with Travis Mills, Lillian Campbell, and Sydney Aucreman also producing. One LA Times critic called the earlier premise and teaser “xenophobic and Islamophobic” and said the film was “rehashing 40-year-old tropes while invoking conspiracy theories of Muslims bringing sharia law to America, because outrage is cheap to produce and easy to monetize”.
September 16 On Daily Wire
September 16 now gives the release a concrete target, and that is the main operational fact for viewers tracking Majors’ next screen step. He was found guilty in 2023 of assaulting his former girlfriend, so the movie is arriving into a career rebuild that is still being judged through both the trailer and the baggage around it.
Deadline’s trailer drop makes the release real in the only way that counts here: the film is no longer just a controversial logline or a comeback label. It has a date, a platform, and a lead actor whose next move will be measured against how much audience lift the trailer can create before September 16.
