Momoa has recently become a prominent figure in video game adaptations. Last year, he starred in "A Minecraft Movie," which grossed over $950 million worldwide. This year, his live-action "Street Fighter" film is set to hit theaters, followed by "Helldivers" in 2027. This marks three consecutive years of major video game adaptations for Momoa.
Gary Dauberman, known for writing the "It" series and the "Annabelle" trilogy, is penning the script for the film. Additional cast members are expected to be announced in the near future.
