The Daily Wire has released a teaser for its upcoming film, Run Hide Fight: Infidels, a project that serves as a spiritual sequel to the company’s 2020 film Run Hide Fight. The new production, directed and written by Kyle Rankin, centers on a fictional scenario involving a university campus and is slated for release on the DailyWire+ platform in the fall.
Jonathan Majors is attached to the project. In December 2023, Majors was convicted on two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault of ex-partner Grace Jabbari. His involvement in the film has drawn attention given his previous role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Premise and Production Background
The narrative of Run Hide Fight: Infidels follows a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard, and a Delta Force vet who must arm up to save their peers during an occupation. The film’s promotional description frames the plot as an effort to prevent an extremist takeover of the institution. Director Kyle Rankin, who directed the original, maintains his creative role for this film.
The 2020 film Run Hide Fight, which starred Isabel May as a teen battling back against the thugs who stormed her high school, was distributed by The Daily Wire after that premise proved radioactive in Hollywood circles. The production of the new film comes as The Daily Wire notes the rise of antisemitism across Western culture and anti-Israeli protests across college campuses.
Public Reaction and Thematic Context
The teaser for Run Hide Fight: Infidels has drawn comparisons to Red Dawn and No Safe Spaces. By incorporating imagery related to anti-Israeli protests and the broader rise of antisemitism, the film seeks to position itself as a direct commentary on current events.
The release strategy relies on the subscription-based streaming service, DailyWire+. The timing of the film’s release in the fall coincides with New York’s Democratic primary choosing potential legislators with deep anti-Israel roots.
Jonathan Majors and Industry Re-entry
The casting of Jonathan Majors represents a notable moment. Following his conviction in December 2023, Majors, who appeared as Kang the Conqueror in two MCU projects and appeared to be the prime villain to face The Avengers, saw his troubled personal life get in the way. His appearance in an independent project like Run Hide Fight: Infidels highlights his return to film following his conviction.
