Michael B. Jordan is showing support for Jonathan Majors’ return to the big screen.
On February 4, Jordan, 37, shared the trailer for Magazine Dreams on his Instagram Stories, adding two applause emojis and three fire emojis in a comment. The upcoming film marks Majors’ first leading role since starring alongside Jordan in 2023’s Creed III.
Majors, 35, played a childhood friend of Michael B. Jordan’s Adonis Creed, re-entering his life after a long stint in prison. The film, which also served as Jordan’s directorial debut, was among several high-profile projects that positioned Majors as one of Hollywood’s rising stars. Early 2023 saw him in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Marvel’s Loki, and Magazine Dreams, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
However, his career took a sharp turn in March 2023 when he was arrested in New York City following an alleged altercation with ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. In December, a jury delivered a split verdict, convicting him of misdemeanor assault and harassment while acquitting him of two other charges. As a result, Majors was ordered to complete a domestic violence intervention program.
His legal troubles led to his dismissal from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he was set to portray Kang the Conqueror in multiple upcoming Avengers films. However, in November 2024, Jabbari dropped her assault and defamation lawsuit against him, with both parties agreeing to dismiss all claims.
Despite the turmoil, Jordan and Majors’ bond has remained strong. While promoting Creed III, Majors frequently called Michael B. Jordan his “brother” and honored him at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in March 2023, just weeks before his arrest. Jordan, in turn, publicly praised Majors, even suggesting he should be a contender for PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive.
In Magazine Dreams, Majors plays Killian Maddox, a bodybuilder consumed by his relentless pursuit of perfection. The official synopsis describes his “lonely, regimented life” and the self-destructive path he follows in his desperate search for human connection.
Set for release on March 21, the film will be Jonathan Majors’ first since his final appearance in Loki on Disney+ in 2023. He is also reportedly attached to Merciless, a revenge thriller directed by Martin Villeneuve, marking his first project since his conviction.
