“The actors’ fall was shorter than the failed movie careers of the now-union reps,” stated Dallas Sonnier, a producer involved in the project, following a serious incident on the set of the upcoming film, “Run Hide Fight Infidels.” This comment came after actor Jonathan Majors fell through an unsecured window, resulting in injuries and raising significant safety concerns among the crew.
The incident occurred on April 3, 2026, when Majors fell approximately six feet due to a sheet of tempered glass that was supposed to shatter during a later stunt. The fall not only injured Majors but also left crew member JC Kilcoyne requiring stitches on his hands. This event has highlighted ongoing issues regarding safety protocols on set, especially as the production has faced multiple complaints about unsafe working conditions.
Prior to this incident, the production was already under scrutiny. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) had called for a strike on March 26, citing labor issues and unsafe conditions. In response to the strike, Sonnier remarked, “We don’t negotiate with communists,” indicating a refusal to engage with union representatives. This statement has drawn criticism as it reflects the tensions between the production team and the crew members advocating for better safety measures.
Despite the alarming circumstances, representatives for JC Kilcoyne stated, “JC did not feel unsafe on set and continues to have a positive experience working on the project.” This comment suggests a divide in perceptions of safety among the cast and crew, as many have expressed concerns about the working environment.
Jonathan Majors’ career has faced significant challenges in recent years, particularly following his conviction for third-degree assault and harassment in 2023. This conviction led to him being dropped from multiple projects, including his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The fallout from his legal troubles has been compounded by the current safety issues on set, further complicating his professional life.
Production on “Run Hide Fight Infidels” is reportedly operating under a SAG-AFTRA contract, which adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing labor disputes. Crew members have voiced their frustrations over props falling onto them and other unsafe conditions, leading to a growing discontent that has resulted in walkouts. Approximately 60 percent of the crew has signed union cards, indicating a strong desire for union representation and improved working conditions.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the production team will address the safety concerns raised by the crew and whether further incidents will occur. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the immediate future of the film and the ongoing labor disputes.
