Don Worley Joins ‘Iron Jane’ as Actor and Executive Producer

Award-Winning Actor and Producer, Don Worley is added to the Cast of Lissette Feliciano’s Highly Anticipated Drama Starring Eiza González and Brandon Sklenar

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Second Chance Pictures founder Don Worley has joined the cast of the upcoming feature film “Iron Jane”, portraying Brian Hill, while also serving as an Executive Producer on the powerful new drama from acclaimed filmmaker Lissette Feliciano.

Headlined by Eiza González and Brandon Sklenar, Iron Jane explores the fiercely competitive world of female bodybuilding through an emotionally charged story of ambition, identity, resilience, and the pursuit of perfection. Written and directed by Feliciano, whose acclaimed debut Women Is Losers premiered at SXSW, the film follows Janie John (González), a woman whose difficult childhood drives her toward the world of elite bodybuilding, where extraordinary physical transformation comes with an increasingly devastating psychological cost. Sklenar stars as the former champion who becomes her coach and mentor. The project launched internationally through Highland Film Group at the Cannes Marché du Film and has generated significant industry buzz for its timely exploration of body image, mental health, and the price of relentless ambition.
Worley joins the production as Brian Hill, adding another prominent role to an expanding list of high-profile film projects while simultaneously contributing behind the scenes as an Executive Producer.

His involvement continues a remarkable run that has established Worley as one of the industry’s fastest-rising actor-producers. Equally comfortable in front of and behind the camera, he has built a reputation for identifying commercially compelling projects while delivering memorable performances across a wide range of genres.

Recently, Worley joined the cast of the crime thriller Tommy Karate, starring Pete Davidson, where he serves as an Executive Producer while portraying Sensei Matt. He also completed production in Budapest on Killing Hitler, portraying notorious New York Mafia boss Giuseppe “Joe the Boss” Masseria, and filmed in South Africa on The Mystery of the Golden Spear, the latest installment in the Miranda Green mystery franchise starring Mischa Barton.

His expanding résumé also includes Tangled Up in Blue, directed by Jamie Adams, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Quentin Tarantino, Kylie Minogue, Jason Isaacs, Allison Williams, Sofia Boutella, RZA, Hugh Skinner, and Craig Roberts. Worley recently wrapped production on the music-driven vertical series NVR-E-NUFF, directed by Billy Gerber and starring rock icon Dee Snider.

Beyond acting, Worley has become an increasingly influential independent film producer through his company, Second Chance Pictures, helping develop and finance projects with broad commercial appeal while championing filmmaker-driven storytelling. His recent credits include Barracuda, starring Anthony Mackie, A Time for Sunset, Christmas at the Kringels, and numerous feature films currently in various stages of production.
“Iron Jane is exactly the kind of bold, character-driven storytelling that resonates with audiences,” said Worley. “I’m honored to join this incredible cast as Brian Hill and equally excited to help bring the project to life as an Executive Producer. Working alongside Lissette Feliciano, Eiza González, Brandon Sklenar, and this outstanding creative team is an incredible opportunity.”

With Iron Jane, Worley continues to strengthen his reputation as one of Hollywood’s emerging multi-hyphenate talents—an actor capable of bringing compelling characters to life while helping shepherd ambitious productions from development through completion.

Produced by Sugar Rush Pictures, Neon Kite, Gramercy Park, and Look at the Moon Pictures, Iron Jane is being co-financed by Highland Film Group, Sugar Rush Pictures, and Gramercy Park, with Highland Film Group handling international sales. The film remains one of the most talked-about prestige projects to emerge from the Cannes marketplace.
