Minecraft Is Jason Momoa’s Next Movie Creation

His profession already contains ventures into Stargate, Conan the Barbarian, Game of Thrones, DC Comics, Dune, and The Fast and Furious—and now Jason Momoa is including one other main franchise to his already spectacular resume: Minecraft.

The Aquaman actor is in last negotiations to star in a live-action adaptation of the vastly fashionable and profitable world-building recreation by Mojang Studios and Jared Hess, the director of Napoleon Dynamite, is at present connected to direct. The Ankler first broke the information which was then confirmed by multiple trades.

This, after all, is just not the primary time we’ve heard information of motion on a Minecraft film. News of it first broke almost 10 years ago with Free Guy director Shawn Levy first being connected, adopted by It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney, and, most not too long ago, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist’s director Peter Sollett. But now, it’s Hess and Momoa—and we do not know what the heck that might even seem like.

Momoa, after all, can pull off virtually something. He first rose to prominence on the hit present Baywatch and had a couple of profitable TV exhibits, together with a future on Stargate: Atlantis, earlier than breaking by as Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones. He was then forged by Zack Snyder as Aquaman for Justice League (a personality which remains to be going robust, as an Aquaman sequel is about to debut subsequent 12 months), performed a key position on this 12 months’s award-winning hit Dune, and was not too long ago forged as a brand new villain within the upcoming tenth Fast and Furious. He’s additionally on the Apple TV+ present See, and peppers in smaller, character primarily based movies occasionally corresponding to The Bad Batch (not that one) and Netflix’s Sweet Girl.

All of which is to say, though it’s nearly unattainable to image Momoa on this planet of Minecraft, particularly from the man who made Napoleon Dynamite, it simply might work. It often does for him. Then once more, we’re positive Levy and McElhenney and Sollett all in all probability thought they’d get the hit recreation franchise off the bottom too.
