A controversial new film starring former Marvel actor Jonathan Majors has drawn comparisons with The Boys from critics after debuting online.
Run Hide Fight: Infidels, an action-thriller produced by far-right media outlet The Daily Wire, features an anti-Islam plot which depicts a college campus being taken over by “radical Islamic terrorists”. The trailer shows archive footage of the September 11 attacks in New York, as well as what appears to be executions.
The film’s official synopsis reads: “When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce Sharia law on students, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of ‘Uncle Tom’ smears & a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers & keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil.”
The trailer’s release drew shock from users on X (formerly Twitter), which film critic Erik Voss writing: “This is like one of those movies produced by Vought Studios in the world of The Boys”, referring to the propaganda wing of the show’s villainous Vought International. Fellow critic Tomris Laffly wrote: “Armie Hammer and Jonathan Majors are in the same phase of their movie careers I guess”, referencing Hammer’s new release where he plays a vigilante who hunts down immigrant criminals.
