Jonathan Majors Returns in First Trailer for Daily Wire's 'Run Hide Fight: Infidels'

The first full trailer for Jonathan Majors' comeback film Run Hide Fight: Infidels has arrived, with a release set for 18 September 2026 on the Daily Wire platform. Deadline revealed the trailer exclusively on 6 August 2026.
The film is a sequel of sorts to Run Hide Fight, the 2020 Daily Wire movie, with original writer-director Kyle Rankin returning to the same chair. Ben Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier produce for The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend, respectively, alongside Travis Mills, Lillian Campbell and Sydney Aucreman.
Deadline first reported in February 2026 that the film sits in the vein of 1980s and 1990s action pictures like Red Dawn and Toy Soldiers — campus-siege thrillers where the stakes are blunt and the enemy is at the door. The Hollywood Reporter, which broke news of the project in June 2026, described it as Majors starring in a Daily Wire movie fighting ISIS.
The trailer itself pulls no punches with its imagery. According to the Daily Wire's own write-up published 30 June 2026, it cuts in footage of the September 11 attacks, anti-Israel college protests and news reports on terror threats. The platform's headline for the piece: "Run Hide Fight: Infidels Takes On A Real World Nightmare."
Not everyone sees it that way. A Los Angeles Times critic called the premise and teaser "xenophobic and Islamophobic," accusing it of rehashing 40-year-old tropes and invoking conspiracy theories about Muslims bringing sharia law to America.
The production itself hit turbulence. An on-set accident saw Majors and co-star JC Kilcoyne fall through an unsecured window, and the shoot subsequently faced a labour strike and safety concerns.
For Majors, the film marks a return to the screen after a turbulent stretch. He was found guilty in 2023 of assaulting his former girlfriend and was dropped from numerous projects in the aftermath. He is also attached to star in Merciless, a supernatural revenge thriller from Martin Villeneuve first announced by Deadline in summer 2024.
What gives the project its particular charge is the collision of those threads. A major studio lead, dropped after a conviction, resurfaces not through one of the legacy studios or a streaming giant but through a politically vocal media company building its own film slate. The Daily Wire is betting that Majors' name still opens doors — and that its audience will show up for an action film framed around present-day anxieties about terrorism on American soil. Whether that bet pays off will be visible soon enough: 18 September, on the platform, no theatrical window in between.
