Overview
- Deadline’s footage published Friday shows Jonathan Majors and co-star JC Kilcoyne falling about six feet through an unsecured tempered-glass pane that had been set for a later, non-actor stunt.
- Kilcoyne needed stitches to his hands and his representatives say he is doing well after treatment by production, adding he has wrapped on the film and did not feel unsafe.
- IATSE called a strike on March 26 over safety standards and employer healthcare contributions after a crew walkout, with reports that more than 60% of the crew had signed union cards.
- Crew accounts detail wider hazards that built to the walkout, including black mold found at a location, props striking workers, a set medic hit by a rigged tree branch, skipped pre-stunt safety meetings, and a special-effects supervisor with a prior explosives conviction.
- Producer Dallas Sonnier has dismissed the action with hostile statements and is seeking replacement crew as some filming continues in Gaffney, South Carolina, while the union urges workers not to cross the picket line.
