But 2023 is the year Majors turned heavyweight, with Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, Creed III and more.
The order came before he arrived. French fries and a glass of milk. Jonathan Majors shortly after slides into a table in the back of the bar at the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan.
There's much in Majors' life right now buzzing at a high frequency. In the days prior to meeting a reporter, Majors had been at the megawatt premiere of Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania. He was courtside at the NBA slam dunk contest, sitting near Spike Lee. After casting Majors in Da 5 Bloods, Lee took to calling him “Morehouse” for his character’s T-shirt. Now, Lee calls him “Big Time".
Majors’ ascendance, to anyone who’s been watching, is not even a little surprising. The Texas son of a pastor, a Yale School of Drama-trained theatre actor, a published poet, a classical and soulful performer, Majors is in a weight class by himself. Uncommonly sensitive as an actor, lyrical and loquacious as a person, Majors, a profound admirer of Sidney Poitier, is a rare and potent combination of serious thespian, thirsted-after hunk and devoted artist.
“I was curious if I could actually do that. Not even do it. If I was brave enough to go there for myself,” Majors said. “To feel something that’s inside of all of us, that rage, that awkwardness, that constant heartbreak that I do carry. I can’t hide from it. I have a beautiful daughter. I have a beautiful life. But there’s something inside that’s extremely unsatisfied. Extremely.”
“I have no moment in my life where I go: That’s what I pull from all the time. I was afraid of that in drama school. My dad just vanished when I was nine years old,” Majors said. “Yeah, you’re working through that stuff. But I remember saying very clearly: What’s going to happen when I no longer have that pain? When that thought of my dad doesn’t break my heart? Because we grow up. At some point it won’t mist you.
“He’s a pretty singular individual and incredibly cerebral and has been that way before any sort of attention has come his way for being that way,” Bynum added. He's not concerned about what fame might do to Majors, but he is worried about his schedule. “Making another movie is going to be tough," says Bynum,"because he’s locked up in Marvel Land for God knows how long.”
