It looks like Jonathan Majors won’t be starring in Dennis Rodman’s movie “48 Hours In Vegas” after his guilty verdict.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate has chose to no longer develop the film and now they are going to present it to other potential buyers. 48 Hours in Vegas features a script from Jordan VanDina that focuses on Chicago Bulls forward Rodman taking a mind-clearing trip to Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA Finals, according to the report.

As we previously reported, hours after Majors was found guilty on assault and harassment charges Disney cut ties with the actor for his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following the conviction Marcel and Disney immediately dropped Majors from all upcoming projects. Majors had earlier planned to be a central figure throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe, playing the antagonist role of Kang. Majors had already appeared in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and the first two seasons of “Loki.” He was to star in “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” dated for release in May 2026.
Majors recently did his first interview since he was found guilty and revealed he was “shocked and afraid” upon hearing the verdict. “I’m standing there and the verdict comes down. I say, ‘How is that possible based off the evidence, based off the prosecution’s evidence, let alone our evidence? How is that possible?” the actor told ABC News Live’s Linsey Davis in an exclusive sit-down interview a month after his conviction.
Majors was found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment, but acquitted of two other counts of assault and aggravated harassment in a split verdict. He told Davis he plans to appeal.

As he awaits sentencing on the misdemeanor charges, Majors, who declined to testify in his defense during the trial, said he wanted to give his side of the story in his first interview “as part of healing.”
“I’m really blessed. I’m surrounded by people who love me, who care about me. But this has been very, very, very hard, and very difficult, and confusing in many ways,” Majors said. “But I’m standing.”
Crying, Majors said he hasn’t seen his daughter due to the case.
“Everything has kinda gone away. And it’s just me now, you know, and my lovely, you know, partner, [actress] Meagan [Good], and my dogs,” he said.
