Hollywood opens door for Jonathan Majors after guilty verdict?

Jonathan Majors faced a career setback when he was accused and later convicted of domestic assault. However, a glimmer of opportunity emerged when he was cast in the revenge thriller "Merciless."

Directed by Martin Villeneuve, brother of renowned filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, the film features a script by Frank Hannah. It follows a CIA investigator's quest to rescue his beloved from malevolent forces. Deadline reports that production is slated to commence in late fall.

Prior to his legal troubles, Majors enjoyed a flourishing career, starring in the Marvel franchise, as well as acclaimed projects like "Creed III" and "Lovecraft Country."

Following his conviction on charges of assault and harassment against his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, Majors faced professional repercussions. Several business associates and studios severed ties with him, marking a significant downturn in his Hollywood journey.
