Jason Momoa has promised that he’s ‘ready to go’ for the next Fast and Furious movie, but is still waiting for the all-important call.
The Dune legend popped up as Dante Reyes in 2023’s Fast X, which served as the 10th movie in the legendary action franchise, and he was clearly in his element while stepping into his campy villain era alongside Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Tyrese and co.
After Vin, aka Dominic Toretto, confirmed that the 11th and final instalment will be racing onto the big screen in 2027, the 46-year-old revealed that he would love to return to the fold.
Speaking to Metro to promote his stunning historical drama, Chief of War, talk turned to his future projects, and whether we would ever see Dante again.
‘Listen, they couldn’t get rid of me if they tried,’ he declared. ‘But I’m just saying that I’m waiting for them to call.
‘I’m ready to go. You can quote me, I’m ready to f**k s**t up.’
Fast X was released in 2023 and ended on an almighty cliffhanger, perfectly setting up Dominic’s desperation to save his ‘family’ and Dante’s desire to exact revenge on the gang after the events of the fifth movie led to his father’s death.
Jason’s unhinged performance was a hit with fans and critics alike, with many branding his character the ‘best villain yet’.
Unpacking his efforts in a chat with Variety at the time, he shared that he had the time of his life with the role.
‘I’ve never played a character that’s, what’s the word – he’s evil and quirky and androgynous,’ he teased. ‘He’s very sadistic and fun. It’s very bizarre.
‘I haven’t played a villain in a very long time.’
The Game of Thrones icon jumped right into character and actually improvised some of his most morbid scenes, including one where he enjoyed a cocktail with two of his dead henchmen.
Director Louis Leterrier raved about his efforts in front of the camera, telling the Hollywood Reporter: ‘What you have to realize is that Jason and I love each other.
‘We found each other on this movie, and we realized that making each other laugh was a great way to create Dante.
‘We really liked making each other laugh, and the extra points, the joker of our game, was to get Vin to crack up and come out of character as Dom Toretto.
‘So we tried really hard, like when Dante calls Dom “butthole,” but Vin is so focused when he is on set that it was impossible.’
Fingers crossed that they can get him to crack in the next one…
Fast and Furious 11 is slated to be released in 2027.
