Jonathan Majors' Magazine Dreams Lands 2025 Release Date After He and His Ex Reach a Settlement

Jonathan Majors' latest film officially has a release date.

Magazine Dreams is set to hit theaters on March 21, 2025, via Briarcliff Entertainment, per a release shared with PEOPLE. The release date comes after the movie, written and directed by Elijah Bynum, had a setback amid Majors' legal issues with his former girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

The 35-year-old actor stars as Killian Maddox, an amateur bodybuilder struggling with his mental and physical health as he vies to reach champion status.

"He defies his doctors’ appeals that he stop taking steroids because they were destroying his liver. The hulking character was prone to dark moods, and he had trouble establishing human connection," reads the film synopsis. "All this took Killian Maddox down a dark path, fueled by his fixation with a champion bodybuilder he is obsessed with."

Majors, an executive producer under his Tall Street Productions company, committed to the role by eating 6,100 calories a day and training six days a week for over four months.

Magazine Dreams debuted at the Sundance Film Festival last year. It also stars Haley Bennett, Taylour Paige, Mike O’Hearn, Harrison Page and Harriet Sansom Harris.

Last January, the initial distributor, Searchlight Pictures, returned the rights to its filmmakers after Majors was convicted on misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment the month before.

The charges stemmed from a March 2023 incident with Majors' ex, Grace Jabbari, who accused him of physically assaulting him during a dispute in New York City. After his conviction, he was sentenced to participate in a domestic violence treatment program.

Jabbari filed a civil lawsuit against Majors this past March, in which she described several alleged instances of abuse, according to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE. In November, she dropped the lawsuit and the claims were dismissed with prejudice.

"We’re glad this case has been resolved and this chapter is closed so that Grace can now move forward and begin to heal," Jabbari's attorney Brad Edwards said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time.

Also in November, Major and actress Meagan Good confirmed their engagement after first being linked in May of 2023. "It's a season of joy," Majors told PEOPLE exclusively at the EBONY Power 100 on Sunday, Nov. 17.
