“The actors’ fall was shorter than the failed movie careers of the now-union reps,” remarked Dallas Sonnier, a producer on the set of the Daily Wire film, as he reflected on the recent incident involving Jonathan Majors. This striking comment underscores the ongoing turmoil surrounding the production, which has been marred by safety concerns and labor disputes.
On April 3, 2026, Jonathan Majors fell through a window while filming a scene for the movie titled “Run Hide Fight Infidels,” an anthology sequel to the original “Run Hide Fight.” The fall, which occurred from a height of approximately six feet, was attributed to an unsecured sheet of tempered glass that was meant to be shattered during a later stunt. The incident left crew member JC Kilcoyne requiring stitches on his hands, raising alarms about the safety protocols in place on set.
Prior to this incident, the production had already faced significant issues, including props falling onto crew members and unsafe working conditions. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) had called for a strike on March 26, citing unsafe working conditions and labor issues. In a controversial statement, Sonnier declared, “We don’t negotiate with communists,” reflecting the heightened tensions between the producers and the crew, many of whom had signed union cards in protest of the ongoing issues.
Despite the chaos, representatives for JC Kilcoyne stated, “JC did not feel unsafe on set and continues to have a positive experience working on the project.” This assertion stands in stark contrast to the experiences of other crew members, some of whom have voiced concerns about the lack of attention to their safety. A former set laborer noted, “They didn’t really care about the long-term effects on the crew,” highlighting a growing discontent among those working behind the scenes.
Jonathan Majors’ recent fall comes at a time when his career is already under scrutiny following a conviction for third-degree assault and harassment in 2023. This conviction led to his removal from multiple projects, including his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The repercussions of his legal troubles have cast a long shadow over his professional life, complicating his return to the screen.
The film’s production is currently operating under a SAG-AFTRA contract, which adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing labor disputes. With 60 percent of the crew reportedly having signed union cards, the potential for a larger strike looms, further complicating the already tumultuous environment on set.
As the situation develops, the focus remains on the safety of the crew and the future of Jonathan Majors in the industry. With ongoing labor disputes and a history of legal challenges, the path ahead appears fraught with uncertainty. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the immediate next steps for the production and the actors involved.
