Magazine Dreams to Release in 2025 After Conviction

Jonathan Majors' film 'Magazine Dreams' is set for release in early 2025 under Briarcliff Entertainment, after being shelved by Searchlight Pictures following his conviction for assault and harassment against his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Initially scheduled for December 2023, the film, which portrays Majors as an aspiring bodybuilder struggling with violence and steroid abuse, won accolades at the Sundance Film Festival, raising expectations for awards consideration. Searchlight returned the distribution rights after Majors was found guilty, resulting in him being dropped from his role as Kang the Conqueror in upcoming Marvel films. Majors expressed heartbreak over these developments, while Briarcliff's Tom Ortenberg praised the film's exploration of ambition and identity. The movie's production highlights Majors' physical transformation, involving an intense fitness regimen to achieve his character's physique. Despite avoiding jail time, Majors was sentenced to an intervention program and mandated therapy.
