Jonathan Majors Set to Star in and Produce 'Da Understudy' for Amazon Studios

By: Adonis Armstrong

Jonathan Majors is set to star in and produce the upcoming film Da Understudy from Amazon Studios and Westbrook Studios according to Deadline. The film was acquired by Amazon Studios after a competitive bidding process. Spike Lee is rumored to be directing the film, which would mark a reunion with Majors after their work on Da 5 Bloods. Majors will be producing the feature under his production company, Tall Street Productions.

Majors involvement in the film comes after his success in MGM and Amazon's record-breaking opening-weekend grosses for Creed III. In the film, Majors plays Damian Anderson, the antagonist of Adonis Creed, which became the biggest opener in the Rocky and Creed franchises and the largest-ever opening for a sports film. Majors has had a breakout year with roles in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Lovecraft Country, and The Harder They Fall. He is also set to star in Magazine Dreams and The Man in My Basement.

Da Understudy tells the story of an understudy of a Broadway production who finds a role he is willing to kill for. Will Smith, Westbrook Studios Co-President & Head of Motion Pictures Jon Mone, and Mike Soccio will also produce the film, with Lee and Tyler Cole serving as executive producers. Ryan Shimazaki will oversee the project on behalf of Westbrook.

This announcement has created a buzz in the entertainment industry, as Majors is quickly becoming a sought-after actor and producer. He has demonstrated his range and talent in various films and series, and his upcoming projects show that he is not slowing down anytime soon.
