In his bid to be in every franchise, Jason Momoa strikes again. The star of A Minecraft Movie<\/em> (and Aquaman<\/em>, and Supergirl<\/em>, and Fast X<\/em>, and the upcoming Street Fighter<\/em>) just can’t stay busy enough, so he’s adding a third video game adaptation to his plate. Momoa will next star in an adaptation of Helldivers<\/em> <\/em>from Sony Pictures and PlayStation Studios.<\/p>\n The news comes from Deadline, which reports that Momoa will reunite with Fast X<\/em> director Justin Lin on the project, with a release date of Nov. 10, 2027. Launched as a PlayStation exclusive in early 2015 \u2014 before coming to PC at the end of the year \u2014 Helldivers<\/em>, from Arrowhead Games, follows an elite group of soldiers in a battle against alien creatures to save Super Earth, a fictionalized future version of Earth.<\/p>\n Image: Arrowhead Game Studios\/PlayStation Studios<\/p>\n A sequel set a hundred years after the first game, Helldivers 2<\/em>, launched on PS5 and PC in early 2024, before coming to Xbox Series X last year. Since then, it’s sold over 20 million copies across its various platforms. When compared to the reported 4 million copies of the first Helldivers<\/em>, it’s hard to overstate the impact the sequel made.<\/p>\n Unlike his other video game adaptation roles, there isn’t a specific character for Momoa to play, as Helldivers<\/em>‘ protagonist is unnamed. In A Minecraft Movie<\/em>, Momoa played an original character and very<\/em> cool elder gamer, Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, but co-star Jack Black took on the lead role of Steve, the primary default character from the game. Additionally, a post-credits scene teased the arrival of Alex, a female default character, in the sequel. Meanwhile, Momoa’s taking on the iconic role of the mutated Blanka in the upcoming Street Fighter<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n Image: Paramount Pictures<\/p>\n Next, you’ll see Momoa in Supergirl, though not in the DC universe role you’re used to. Momoa hung up Aquaman’s trident after last playing the role in 2023’s The Flash<\/em>. In the new James Gunn-led DC Studios films, he’s taking on the part of the impossibly cool alien mercenary Lobo. Based on what we’ve seen thus far in the trailers for Supergirl<\/em> \u2014 he’s loud, brash, kills people with a massive hook, and smokes while driving through explosions \u2014 he fits the part well.<\/p>\n While you won’t be able to see Momoa in the Helldivers <\/em>movie until Nov. 10, 2027, Supergirl <\/em>flies into theaters this summer on June 26. Seeing Momoa as the weirdly charismatic baddie Dante in the next Fast & Furious movie \u2014 Fast Forever<\/em> \u2014 is going to take some time, though. That movie has been delayed until March 17, 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In his bid to be in every franchise, Jason Momoa strikes again.
