Jason Momoa’s Fast & Furious 10 Casting Reverses The Rock’s Plan
Fast & Furious 10 casting Jason Momoa as a villain perfectly reverses Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson's original plan to bring the Aquaman star into the franchise. The continued growth of the Fast & Furious movies continues to allow Universal to convince major Hollywood stars to join Vin Diesel's improbable action franchise, including names like John Cena, Charlize Theron, and Kurt Russell, among others. Fast & Furious 10 has now cast Jason Momoa, as he'll play one of the movie's main villains.
Momoa's decision to join the popular worldwide franchise is the latest step in his ascension through Hollywood. He received his breakout role in Game of Thrones as Khal Drago, and it wasn't long after that role ended that he became a superhero. Zack Snyder made him Aquaman for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, and Momoa's underwater hero has become a huge hit for the DC Extended Universe. Aquaman made over $1 billion worldwide to declare Momoa as a new box office draw. His other roles include a recent scene-stealing performance as Duncan Idaho in Dune. Jason Momoa is no stranger to massive franchises, and his Fast & Furious 10 casting isn't even the first time he's been linked to the series. Dwayne Johnson originally had a plan for Momoa—one that has now been reversed.
