Summary
Run Hide Fight: Infidels marks Majors’s first new production since his 2023 legal troubles, putting him at the center of a Daily Wire thriller built around an Islamist attack on a college campus.
The 128-minute film, directed by Kyle Rankin, was marketed with a trailer mixing fictional scenes with real 9/11 footage and pro-Palestine protests, drawing criticism as xenophobic and Islamophobic while right-wing commentators praised it.
Majors takes the role after a steep fall from Marvel stardom: he was convicted on two misdemeanor assault and harassment counts, dropped by the U.S. Army, and replaced in Marvel’s Kang storyline.
The report frames the project as a comeback bid that follows the collapse of Magazine Dreams and other stalled opportunities, while arguing a friendlier right-wing media climate could still help restore his profile.
