Magazine Dreams finally reached audiences after one of the more complicated release journeys in recent years, with Jonathan Majors starring as an aspiring bodybuilder in the intense psychological drama.

The film premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where Majors' performance drew significant attention. But its path to theaters became increasingly complicated, leaving the movie in limbo for years before it eventually found a new distributor.

Now, audiences who missed its theatrical run have an easier way to experience the film and one of Majors' most physically demanding performances.

Magazine Dreams is currently not available on any subscription streaming service in the U.S., meaning viewers cannot watch it as part of an existing streaming subscription. Instead, the film is available only through digital rental or purchase, with options including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home.

According to JustWatch, rentals are priced at $3.99 on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home, while the film can be purchased for $14.99 through the listed digital retailers. Pricing can vary between platforms and may change over time. That makes digital viewing the most accessible option for anyone looking to catch the film after its limited theatrical release.

Is Jonathan Majors Returning for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’? Rumors vs Reality Explained

For anyone discovering the film now, however, Magazine Dreams is more than a movie that finally became available to watch; it is the product of a remarkably complicated journey that makes Jonathan Majors’ performance all the more significant.

Magazine Dreams follows Killian Maddox, an isolated amateur bodybuilder whose obsessive pursuit of becoming a professional champion increasingly consumes his life. Written and directed by Elijah Bynum, the film explores ambition, loneliness, masculinity and Killian's desperate need for recognition and human connection.

The movie's release became inseparable from the turmoil surrounding Jonathan Majors' career at the time. After premiering at Sundance in 2023 to strong attention for his performance, Magazine Dreams was initially set for release through Searchlight Pictures. The distributor eventually dropped the film following Majors' December 2023 conviction for reports of misdemeanor assault and harassment, returning the rights to the filmmakers. Briarcliff Entertainment later acquired the domestic rights, finally releasing the movie in U.S. theaters on March 21, 2025.

Despite its troubled journey and modest theatrical performance, the film earned a 7.0 IMDb rating, while Rotten Tomatoes currently lists an 80% Tomatometer score, with critics particularly recognizing Majors' committed performance.

For a film that spent years waiting to be seen, Magazine Dreams ultimately became as notable for the circumstances surrounding its release as the performance at its center. And while Marvel has moved on from Kang, speculation surrounding a possible Jonathan Majors return in Avengers: Doomsday continues to keep his MCU future alive as an unanswered question.
