Jason Momoa’s Minecraft Role Is Even Better Than Aquaman!

by

In a rather over-the-top manner, Jason Momoa showcases his acting skills in the movie titled “The Minecraft Film“. Given his significant role in the 2023 blockbuster, this casting seems fitting but nonetheless unexpected. To be honest, I never envisioned Momoa as part of the cast when the idea of a Minecraft film was initially announced in 2014. Even after his rise to fame with movies like Justice League and Aquaman, I still found his casting for “The Minecraft Film” an unconventional choice.

It’s fortunate that I was mistaken about him. Despite the divided opinions on the movie “A Minecraft Movie“, several critics have commended Jason Momoa for his humorous acting in it. Momoa contributes significantly to the film’s funniest scenes, and he has once again demonstrated his ability to draw massive audiences. At the moment, “A Minecraft Movie” has earned $565 million at the global box office (as reported by Box Office Mojo), and it is expected to surpass “Fast X“, another film where Momoa gives a playful performance, in the near future.

Jason Momoa’s A Minecraft Movie & Fast X Characters Prove How Brilliant He Is At Playing Hilarious Campy Characters

Momoa Has Been Showing A Funnier Side Of Himself Lately

For quite some time, Momoa has been known for portraying formidable characters that were not particularly rich in personality, a trait that was particularly noticeable in his character Khal Drogo on “Game of Thrones,” which marked his breakthrough performance. Despite Aquaman initially being quite serious in the DC Extended Universe, he later became more comical. Thus, when Momoa was chosen for 2023’s “Fast X,” it was widely assumed that he would be playing a very stern, intimidating villain. Fortunately, this assumption proved to be completely wrong.

Movie Worldwide Box Office RT Critics Score RT Audience Score
Fast X (2023) $704,875,015 57% 84%
A Minecraft Movie (2025) $565,138,262 (so far) 46% 87%

As much as I yearn for vengeance against Dom and his gang in Fast X, my character Dante seems to be more about silliness than payback. Jason Momoa has embraced the camp aspect wholeheartedly, which has surprisingly turned Dante into one of the most memorable villains in the Fast & Furious series. Interestingly enough, two years later, I find myself portraying another over-the-top character in A Minecraft Movie. These roles are a stark contrast to the characters I used to play at the start of my career, showing a versatility that might not be as widely recognized, but they’re certainly fun to watch.

A Minecraft Movie’s Sequel & Fast 11 Set Up Jason Momoa To Continue His Impressive Franchise Box Office Success

Several Of Momoa’s Upcoming Movies Will Likely Be Huge Successes

Despite the fact that Momoa’s characters in “A Minecraft Movie” and “Fast X” aren’t usually praised by critics, both movies have been massive box office hits, indicating that he’s doing something correctly throughout his career. In truth, Momoa has appeared in numerous films that have been blockbusters at the box office, such as “Aquaman,” “Dune,” “Fast X,” and now “A Minecraft Movie.” This suggests that he is skillfully selecting roles for movies that will draw large audiences.

Following the success of “A Minecraft Movie,” it’s apparent that Jason Momoa’s string of box office hits is far from over. Although a sequel to “A Minecraft Movie” hasn’t been officially announced yet, it seems highly probable, and chances are good that Momoa will reprise his role. Furthermore, he will also be back for “Fast & Furious 11,” the final installment of the popular franchise. The potential return in “A Minecraft Movie 2,” “Fast & Furious 11,” and even a new role as Lobo in “Supergirl” indicate that Momoa’s upcoming years at the box office are shaping up to be very fruitful.
