Development
On December 18, 2023, following his harassment and assault conviction, Marvel Studios announced that they would be parting ways with Jonathan Majors who had been playing Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was also dropped from a planned film about Dennis Rodman titled 48 Hours in Las Vegas.[2] The Kang Dynasty was reworked into Avengers: Doomsday, with the main antagonist changed to Doctor Doom, played by veteran MCU actor Robert Downey Jr.[3][4][5][6][7]
In February 2026, it was reported that Majors had started shooting his first film in four years for The Daily Wire which was said to be an untitled action thriller written and directed by Kyle Rankin produced by Bonfire Legend that would be in the vein of Red Dawn and Toy Soldiers to be produced by Ben Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier.[8] In April of that year, it was reported that the film would be titled Run Hide Fight: Infidels and would be a standalone sequel to Rankin and Daily Wire's Run Hide Fight.[9]
Incident during filming
In April 2026, it was reported that Jonathan Majors and co-star JC Kilcoyne fell six feet from a window when an unsecured sheet of tempered glass meant to be shattered later in the scene fell.[9] As a result of the incident, several members of the film crew walked off the set in protest of the set's lack of comittment to workplace safety.[9] International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees called for a strike against the production for safety violations and labor issues and discouraged others from taking the positions.[10] In response to the allegations, producer Dallas Sonnier was quoted:
We are too busy being bad asses, blowing shit up, flying helicopters, and killing movie terrorists to concern ourselves with four assholes with signs on the sidewalk and their illegitimate 'strike.'[9]
Sonnier further dismissed the film crew's concerns saying:
The entire industry is in freefall due to strikes, and now that their members are out of work, they’re trying to sabotage the few people who are still producing. We don’t negotiate with communists.[9]
Release
The film is scheduled to premiere on The Daily Wire on September 16, 2026.[11]
Controversy
When the first teaser for Run Hide Fight: Infidels was released in June 2026, the teaser which featured real-world news footage of Islamic terrorism and protests led to some decrying the film as Islamophobic.[12] Producer Dallas Sonnier has said the film is a direct response to criticism of Israel and support of Palestine, particularly related to Israels actions against Palestinians during the Gaza war.[12] Sonnier further stated:
If you're afraid to put radical jihadis as your villains, then you're a wimpy movie producer. We don't have that fear.[12]
A full trailer debuted in August of that year doubling down on the film's position regarding Islam and incorporating other right-wing rhetoric with a speech by Majors' character where he states:
There are three ways Islam will conquer the West: through immigration, through the wombs of our women, and by using our nation's freedoms against us.[13]
