Jonathan Majors is making a comeback after a turbulent period in his life. Despite facing a conviction for third-degree assault and harassment, the former Marvel star has landed a leading role in an upcoming supernatural thriller. According to Deadline, the movie titled Merciless will begin filming later this year. Majors will play the role of a skilled CIA interrogator who must confront an evil spirit that has taken over the woman he loves.
The film, based on a screenplay by Frank Hannah, will be directed by Martin Villeneuve. Villeneuve describes Merciless as a chilling story that delves into themes of possession, revenge, and personal justice. He explains that the movie will explore the psychological toll on Majors' character, John, as he struggles with the supernatural forces that are testing his sanity.
Merciless is a significant opportunity for Majors, especially after his fall from grace following a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend last year in New York City. However, producer Christopher Tuffin believes in Majors' talent and is excited to work with him on this project. Tuffin, who is known for his efforts to support artists in the face of public opinion and selective prosecution, is proud to be part of Majors' comeback.
The producer also shares how his experience in graduate school, studying under Blacklist scribe Millard Lampell, taught him the importance of due process and protecting artists' careers from political agendas. Tuffin considers it an honor to collaborate with Majors, now that the legal matter has been resolved.
For Majors, Merciless marks his first leading role since the highly-publicized assault case. Despite being found guilty of misdemeanor charges, the actor was able to avoid jail time and was instead sentenced to probation and counseling. Last week, he received the Perseverance Award at Hollywood Unlocked's annual Impact Awards. Majors was emotional during his acceptance speech, acknowledging his imperfections and thanking his "Lord and savior."
Merciless is a major milestone for Majors as he moves forward from a difficult period in his life. It's a testament to his talent and determination, and fans are excited to see him back on the big screen.
