Jonathan Majors has built a reputation for immersing himself in a wide variety of complex, intense characters. From his early breakout performance as Montgomery Allen in The Last Black Man in San Francisco to high-octane blockbusters like Creed III and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the acclaimed actor has consistently proven his range.

His diverse filmography already boasts heavy-hitting dramatic turns in Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, the stylish Western The Harder They Fall, the aerial epic Devotion, and his haunting portrayal of Killian Maddox in Magazine Dreams. On television, his presence has been equally commanding, anchoring the Emmy-winning series Lovecraft Country as Atticus “Tic” Freeman and stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe across multiple timelines in Loki.

Yet, despite a deeply impressive and rapidly expanding body of work, Majors still keeps his eyes locked on one ultimate professional milestone.

During an exclusive #WORDSWITHSCOOP feature for ScoopB.com, I caught up with the star and noted his extensive body of work, asking what his absolute dream role would look like and exactly why it holds that weight.

For Majors, the answer doesn’t lie in a specific genre or a fictional superhero, but rather in the caliber of the person sharing the frame.

“My dream role would be something where myself and Denzel Washington were playing opposite each other,” Majors revealed, pinpointing the Hollywood icon as his ultimate collaborator.

For the star, the opportunity to work alongside Washington overrides any typical ego or desire for top billing. He is entirely focused on the masterclass of sharing space with a legend, even if it means taking a back seat structurally.

“All I want is 60% screen time with the GOAT,” Majors stated candidly. “That would be a dream role. He could do 100%. I just want 60% screen time with the GOAT.”

That unyielding hunger to test his skills against the absolute best drives his willingness to take on literally any character concept, no matter how gritty or unglamorous, just to make the collaboration happen.

“Whatever that role is,” Majors concluded, “I’ll be a trashman.”

The Power of the Masterclass

Majors’ desire to share the screen with Washington highlights a deeper truth about his approach to the craft: he views acting not just as a profession, but as an ongoing apprenticeship under the masters who paved the way.

Washington, a two-time Academy Award winner, has long served as the blueprint for generations of actors. His legendary catalog spans decades of cinematic history, anchored by towering performances in Malcolm X, Training Day, Glory, Fences, and American Gangster. Whether he is leading high-stakes action franchises like The Equalizer or returning to historical epics like Gladiator II, Washington balances raw intensity with undeniable commercial appeal. For Majors to openly state he would gladly play a trashman just to be in the same frame speaks volumes about his humility and reverence for Hollywood royalty.

In an industry often consumed by top billing and solo star power, Majors’ perspective is a refreshing reminder of what makes cinema great—the electricity generated when two powerhouse talents clash or collaborate in real time.

Whether that dream manifestation takes the form of a high-stakes crime drama, a gritty indie feature, or a deeply moving period piece, a Majors-Washington pairing would undoubtedly be a box-office draw and an instant cultural moment. Until then, Majors continues to grind, collecting roles, sharpening his tools, and waiting for the moment he gets to pull up opposite the GOAT.
