Actor Jonathan Majors, whose credits include “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quatumania,” has been chosen to represent the annual Pan African Film and Arts Festival (PAFF).
As the 2025 PAFF Ambassador, Majors, who was convicted in 2023 of domestic assault, will finally showcase and promote his new drama “Magazine Dreams.” The film was put on hold after he was convicted on two counts of assaulting his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabarri.
In “Magazine Dreams,” Majors plays the amateur bodybuilder Killian Maddox, who is driven by a desire to achieve greatness. Written and directed by Elijah Bynum, Majors tackles Killian, a character who pushes his body to its limits while battling inner struggles. The film, which is set to hit theaters on March 21, will premiere at PAFF’s opening night on Tuesday February 4 in Los Angeles.
The iconic Black Film Festival was founded in 1992 by actors Danny Glover, Ja’Net DuBois and executive director Ayuko Babu, an international legal, cultural, and political consultant who specializes in Pan African Affairs.
