In a surprising turn of events, Jonathan Majors will no longer be portraying basketball legend Dennis Rodman in the upcoming film titled "48 Hours in Vegas." Deadline has confirmed that Majors has exited the project, leaving the role of the power forward vacant.

Adding to the unexpected developments, Lionsgate has also withdrawn its involvement from the film. The production company, which was initially on board, has decided to part ways with the project. Now, the film is in the hands of producers Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Aditya Sood.

The screenplay, penned by Jordan VanDina, explores Rodman's wild adventure in Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA finals. This intriguing storyline promises an inside look into the flamboyant and unconventional life of the Chicago Bulls star.

With Majors no longer attached to the role, it remains to be seen who will step into Dennis Rodman's shoes. If the project is revived and set to be presented again, it will likely feature a different actor embodying the essence of the iconic basketball player.

While the reasons behind Jonathan Majors' departure from the film are not yet known, this unexpected change may bring about new opportunities for other actors to portray the charismatic and enigmatic figure that is Dennis Rodman.

As the future of "48 Hours in Vegas" hangs in the balance, fans and film enthusiasts eagerly await updates on the casting decisions and any future developments surrounding the project.
