Comeback Kang?
It was all good two years ago when Jonathan Majors was the hottest actor in Hollywood with back-to-back Blockbusters (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Creed III) and a critically acclaimed performance in buzzy bodybuilding Drama Magazine Dreams.
And then it all came crashing down when he was convicted of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment in a career-shifting moment that left him discarded by Marvel with his once lauded film shelved indefinitely.
Now, two years later, Majors is gaining traction for a comeback after long-delayed Drama Magazine Dreams finally secured a release date (March 21, 2025).
In a stunning plot twist, Zeus Network joined Briarcliff Entertainment as marketing partner for Magazine Dreams with Zeus Network CEO Lemuel Plummer serving as an Executive Producer on the project.

The CEO marked the moment on social media with a video of him introducing Majors to the Zeus team and praising the film, calling it “phenomenal.”
Majors then dished on the project, noting that starring in Magazine Dreams felt especially important.
“The work that went into it, the ancestors were present,” said Majors. “It is a a piece of art and piece of cinema that I think we needed it as an industry and as a culture. I’m most proud of it.”
Check out the trailer below:
In the intense feature from writer-director Elijah Bynum, Majors stars as Killian Maddox–a troubled amateur bodybuilder who spirals down a dark path fueled by his obsession with a champion bodybuilder.
Other cast members include Haley Bennett, Taylour Paige, Mike O’Hearn, Harrison Page, and Harriet Sansom Harris.

According to a press release, Majors transformed his body for the film by eating 6100 calories daily and training six days per week over the course of four months “physically transforming himself to a young man so hellbent on becoming a champion bodybuilder that he defies his doctors’ appeals that he stops taking steroids because they were destroying his liver.”
