Jonathan Majors will no longer play Dennis Rodman in an upcoming movie, a source tells CNN. According to the outlet, the actor has not officially been dropped from the project -- which is tentatively titled "48 Hours in Vegas" -- yet, but sources say the movie is being shopped around without Majors attached after the initial version in development seemed poised to go over budget. As one source put it, "I cannot imagine a world where this moves forward with Jonathan."
Majors was a rising star in recent years, earning praise for his roles in projects like "The Last Black Man in San Francisco," "Creed III," and "Da 5 Bloods" and nabbing a massive role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as overarching villain Kang the Conqueror. But in March 2023, Majors was arrested for a domestic violence incident and later found guilty of assault and harassment.
