Jason Momoa is currently producing the tenth. Fast & Furious film, and beyond the fact that we know he plays the bad guy in this one, we didn’t know a great deal about who the character really is. One assumed he was going to drive cars really fast at some point, and while that does seem to be the case, what’s apparently more important to Momoa’s character is that he looks damn good doing it.
One thing that we saw was aMomoa will probably be driving a lavender car Fast X. He was very excited and the car is just one part of a larger ensemble. In a recent profile in the UK’s edition of GQ, it’s revealed that Momoa’s villain will be a guy with pink and purple painted toenails. It doesn’t sound like this will be Momoa’s trademark tough guy, but the actor seems more than ok with that. Momoa explains…
It’s been hard because people always think I’m just this dude who plays [macho characters]. But I’m ready to be moved. I want something fresh. Things are changing, and even the villain roles I’m playing now are eccentric. I’m a peacock at the highest level and I’m having the time of my life.
Momoa’s big break was playing Khal Drogo in HBO’s Game of ThronesHe has been known for his tough guy persona since that time. Conan the BarbarianTo DuneMomoa is the guy that beats people and looks scary doing it. It’s made Momoa a star, which hasn’t always been easy. He’s even made the often laughed at character of Aquaman more imposing. Unsurprisingly, Momoa is now looking to take on new roles and try different things. Momoa remains exactly the type of actor you would expect him to be in, Fast & FuriousMovie, it seems like the way he appears to be will be a little surprising to everyone.
You can see Momoa’s recent attempt to broaden his roles elsewhere. The MinecraftMomoa will be featured in the movie in an undisclosed role Beyond that we’ll see him try his hand at comedy soon as well.
It sounds fun though. It is, however, not the best idea. Villains in the Fast and FuriousFilmsThe more traditional of the sexes, from Jason Statham and John Cena, are “badass”And the actors have mostly played the type of character you would expect. That’s not a bad thing on its own, but it has made the villains largely interchangeable because they are so similar. Momoa gets to do something a little different, which means the role isn’t simply new for him, but for the franchise.
There’s likely a lot more to Momoa’s bad guy than just his toenails. One assumes he has some connection to Charlize Theron’s Cipher, who has become the franchise’s big bad. It’s possible the question is, “Will he be able to?” Momoa makes it through the movie.
