Jonathan Majors Dropped from Dennis Rodman Movie "48 Hours in Vegas"

Jonathan Majors has been dropped from the Dennis Rodman movie "48 Hours in Vegas".

Lionsgate is no longer developing the pic that hails from Lord Miller and scriptwriter Jordan VanDina, and the project will now be shopped to other potential buyers. 

Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Aditya Sood are on board as producers. 

The news comes ahead of a February 6 sentencing for Majors on assault and harassment convictions stemming from an incident involving ex-partner Grace Jabbari in March.

Hours after Majors was found guilty in December, Disney fired Majors as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

The actor played the villainous part in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and the Disney+ series "Loki", with the role previously set to become pivotal in future Marvel movies.

"48 Hours in Vegas" focuses on Chicago Bulls forward Rodman taking a mind-clearing trip to Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA Finals. The getaway for Rodman, who joined the NBA Hall of Fame in 2011 and was known for his outlandish behavior and attire, was featured in the Michael Jordan-centric ESPN docuseries "The Last Dance" that aired in 2020.

Majors spoke last year about 48 Hours in Vegas and noted he was doing “a lot of studying” for the role and hoped to sit down with Rodman ahead of filming.

During an interview that aired on Good Morning America earlier this week, Majors said he was “absolutely shocked” at the verdict, which carries a sentence of up to a year in jail. When asked how Jabbari’s injuries were caused, Majors replied, “I wish to God I knew.”
