AquamanstarJason Momoais very hopeful that he will one day be able to team-up with fellow Hollywood behemoth andBlack Adamstar, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for what would surely be the pinnacle of action movie duos. While the pair have yet to come face-to-face on screen, which Momoa blames on their respective busy schedules, the actor certainly thinks it will happen eventually. Which begs the question, is the big screen even big enough to fit both men at once?
“I met him almost 20 years ago in Hawaii. Wetried to get togetherand make a movie together but it’s just he’s way busier than I am and I’m pretty busy right now so, one of these days!”
Momoa went on to joke thatDwayne Johnsonowed him a team-up movie as a favor for sending an adorable birthday message to the WWE superstar’s three-year-old daughter Tia Giana back in April, during which she said she preferred Momoa’s DC heroAquamanto her action hero father.
Seeing Momoa and Johnsonon screen together fighting, shooting and blowing things upand high-fiving while walking away from all the things they’ve left to blow up is surely every action movie fan’s dream, and bringing the pair together seems like such an obvious move that it’s incredible scheduling hasn’t been worked out by now.
For the time being, the two actors are enjoying a lot of success individually, with Jason Momoa due toreturn to the role of Aquamanin an upcoming sequel. Details on the plot ofAquaman 2, which was recently revealed to be titledAquaman and the Lost Kingdom, are being kept under wraps, but we do know that the movie will reunite Momoa’s Arthur Curry and Amber Heard’s princess Mera, as well as bring back villains the Ocean Master and Black Manta, played once again by Patrick Wilson and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II respectively.
Writer David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick has recently offered some insight into plans for the follow-up saying, “Hmm… Good question. We’re not taking any one particular comic book story and adapting it, but if you want to know the vibe we’re going for, pick up pretty much any Silver Age story featuring Black Manta.”
Outside of the world of DC, Momoa will tear up the screen as a vengeful father in Netflix’sSweet Girl, and navigate the complex plotting of director Denis Villeneuve’sDuneas Duncan Idaho. The actor is also due to come up against another wrestler-turned-actor in the form ofGuardians of the Galaxyand fellowDunestar Dave Bautista in the second season of Apple TV+ series,See, which finds the burly pair as warring brothers.
As for Dwayne Johnson, the busiest man in Hollywood has multiple projects on the horizon, including Netflix’sRed Noticealongside Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot,Super Pets,Doc Savage,San Andreas 2and his superhero debut,Black Adam, which is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 08, 2025.
