Jonathan Majors was involved in an on-set accident in late March 2026 while filming a The Daily Wire action movie in South Carolina. During a scene, a glass window suddenly shattered, leading to a dangerous fall and raising safety concerns. The incident created tension on the set and later affected the shoot as crew members spoke about the working conditions. Reports from the set also suggested there were other issues with how things were being managed. As more details came out, the incident started getting wider attention.
What Happened to Jonathan Majors and JC Kilcoyne
Following the fall, Jonathan Majors was reported to be unharmed. However, co-actor JC Kilcoyne sustained cuts to his hands and required stitches due to the shattered glass. Crew members rushed in immediately after the incident to provide assistance. While the situation was brought under control, the injuries and circumstances surrounding the fall intensified concerns about on-set safety and preparedness.

Daily Wire Film Faces Major Crew Strike
The situation escalated quickly after the accident. On March 26, more than half the crew walked off the set after weeks of growing frustration. Their concerns went beyond the glass incident, including unclear safety protocols, lack of supervision, and poor working conditions.
The crew aligned with International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. While initial demands focused on basic benefits, safety became the main issue after the accident. Picket lines were set up outside the production, bringing filming to a halt. Producer Dallas Sonnier denied the claims, saying the set was safe, but several crew members described it as disorganized and lacking proper standards.
Jonathan Majors Comeback Faces Major Setback
For Jonathan Majors, this film was meant to be a turning point. After his legal troubles in 2023, including a conviction that led to his exit from major franchises like Marvel Cinematic Universe, this project marked his attempt at a comeback. The film, backed by The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend, was announced earlier in February 2026 and quickly gained attention. Many saw it as a bold move, both for Majors and for the studio stepping into mainstream action filmmaking. However, the accident and the strike have now cast serious doubt over that comeback. Footage of the incident reportedly surfaced in early April, drawing widespread attention and reigniting debate around set safety in the industry. Majors has not made any public statements so far. His silence leaves room for speculation. Whether this project becomes his comeback story or another setback now depends on how the situation unfolds.
What This Accident Reveals About Film Industry Safety
This incident highlights deeper issues within the film industry, especially around safety on lower-budget productions.
In recent years, Hollywood has faced increasing scrutiny over working conditions. Incidents like the Rust shooting incident have pushed the industry to rethink safety standards.
The involvement of The Daily Wire adds another layer, as it now faces the same safety and union pressures. For the crew, the demands are simple: proper safety protocols and basic workplace standards.
What Crew Members Are Saying About the Set
According to multiple crew members, the accident was just one of many concerns. They described poor communication and skipped safety briefings on set. The strike followed weeks of frustration, with the incident acting as the tipping point. Production now faces delays, while producers defend the set conditions. Conflicting accounts from crew members mean the full picture is still unclear.
