Lo Rom-Com \u2018Marry Me\u2019 Is A Distracting, Movie-Length TikTok\">begins filming<\/a> this week. The project, produced by Dallas Sonnier and directed by Kyle Rankin (Run Hide Fight), remains plot-secure, but Deadline says it will resemble 1980s and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >early 1990s action films<\/a> like Red Dawn and toy Soldiers, focusing on teenage boys preparing for battle. Majors, known for ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Creed III, also co-starred in Lovecraft Country.<\/p>\n<p>The article notes that Majors\u2019 career faced upheaval in 2023 after he was found guilty of assaulting his former girlfriend,leading to him being dropped from projects,including the U.S. Army\u2019s \u201cBe All You Can Be\u201d ad campaign. It also highlights a pattern of Daily Wire collaborations with actors previously distanced from Hollywood, citing Gina Carano\u2019s role in Terror on the Prairie after her firing from The Mandalorian and the subsequent settlement of Carano\u2019s lawsuit against Disney. The Washington Examiner reached out to Daily Wire and Shapiro for comment.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Former Marvel actor working with Daily Wire for action movie produced by Ben Shapiro<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2493818\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <em>Daily Wire<\/em> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ben-shapiro\/\">Ben Shapiro<\/a> are working with former <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marvel-comics\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2737\">Marvel<\/a> actor Jonathan Majors for a new, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bradley-cooper-to-star-in-steven-spielbergs-new-bullitt-movie\/\" title=\"Bradley Cooper to Star in Steven Spielberg\u2019s New ...Bullitt\u201d Movie\">untitled movie<\/a> that begins filming this week.<\/p>\n<p>Majors starred as the antagonist in <em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania<\/em> (2023) and also starred as the villain in <em>Creed III<\/em> (2023).
