Overview
- Video published by Deadline shows Jonathan Majors and co‑star JC Kilcoyne falling through an unsecured pane of tempered glass during a scene, with sources saying the drop was about six feet and that Kilcoyne needed stitches in his hands.
- IATSE, the film and TV crew union, called a strike after crew walked off over safety and working‑condition complaints, and the union urged members not to cross the picket line as producers sought replacement workers.
- Producers, led by Dallas Sonnier of Bonfire Legend, rejected talks and answered questions about conditions by saying they “don’t negotiate with communists,” a stance they paired with public boasts about continuing to shoot.
- The Daily Wire now says the movie finished its five‑week shoot and downplayed the fall’s height, a claim that contrasts with earlier trade reports that filming continued in a limited way during the strike.
- Kilcoyne’s representatives said he was treated right away, felt safe, and has wrapped, while the project’s backing by The Daily Wire and Majors’ first roles since his 2023 case have amplified scrutiny of the set’s safety record.
