His profession already consists of ventures into Stargate, Conan the Barbarian, Sport of Thrones, DC Comics, Dune, and The Quick and Livid—and now Jason Momoa is including another major franchise to his already spectacular resume: Minecraft.
The Aquaman actor is in last negotiations to star in a live-action adaptation of the hugely popular and successful world-building sport by Mojang Studios and Jared Hess, the director of Napoleon Dynamite, is at the moment connected to direct. The Ankler first broke the information which was then confirmed by multiple trades.
This, in fact, just isn’t the primary time we’ve heard information of motion on a Minecraft film. Information of it first broke almost 10 years ago with Free Man director Shawn Levy first being connected, adopted by It’s All the time Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney, and, most just lately, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist’s director Peter Sollett. However now, it’s Hess and Momoa—and we do not know what the heck that would even appear like.
Momoa, in fact, 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 Sport of Thrones. He was then forged by Zack Snyder as Aquaman for Justice League (a personality which continues to be going robust, as an Aquaman sequel is set to debut next year), performed a key position on this yr’s award-winning hit Dune, and was just lately forged as a brand new villain within the upcoming 10th Fast and Furious. He’s additionally on the Apple TV+ present See, and peppers in smaller, character based mostly movies occasionally resembling The Unhealthy Batch (not that one) and Netflix’s Candy Lady.
All of which is to say, though it’s virtually 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 most likely thought they’d get the hit sport franchise off the bottom too.
