HOBBS & SHAW Almost Cast AQUAMAN Star Jason Momoa; May Join A Future Installment Instead

HOBBS & SHAW star Dwayne Johnson has gone out of his way to express his excitement for Jason Momoa's potential involvement in the FAST franchise. But what prevented his inclusion in the first place?

This Sunday, the world will be introduced to a whole new corner of the Fast and Furious franchise, with a Super Bowl trailer debut planned for the spinoff. Fans are building up excitement for the feature, which has assembled an A-list cast, some of which will be finally shown in action Sunday.

With the announcement of WWE superstar Roman Reigns joining the picture, The Rock was asked if Aquaman's Jason Momoa would ever join the saga on his Instagram. With the heavy narrative influence of Johnson's Somoan ancestry, the star called the possibility very likely.

Me and Momoa tried hard to get him in this movie to play my brother, but his schedule was too packed. Next Hobbs movie for sure.


A huge inflence over the Fast franchise has always been family, so it is no surprise the fellow who grew up around the same area as Johnson, would be in talks. Hopefully the promise will come through, but with Momoa's increased popularity over the past few months, the actor will need a role to fit his newfound stardom.

Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw hits theaters this August.

I'm that one guy you get annoyed with because he talks about movies too much, but I'm also the one guy you love to talk movies with.

Momoa could be a good fit for this crazy franchise! For the sequel bring Luke Evans back and Hobbs & Shaw 2 will be Hobbs & Shaw dealing with their crazy, violent, out of control, sexy little brothers or just teaming up with them. XD

@8thDoctor - well hopefully Luke Evans returns anyways in Hobbs & Shaw, considering he is no longer hospitalized and is more than capable of holding his own in a fight.

@HeavyMetal4Life - I would love that, I preferred his Shaw.

@HeavyMetal4Life - It's the only one I haven't seen from the franchise. I've been meaning to, but it's just keeps getting set back by what I know are better movies.

@8thDoctor - ahh okay, well let me just say that based on a couple comments you made on here, I think you'll really like some of that movie. Mum's the word though, I won't tell you what! But you should check it out...

@HeavyMetal4Life - Thanks, that's certainly a good motivator to finally sit down.

Roman Reigns and Jason Momoa could be twins.

Rock... I don't do wrestling and I've never particularly been inclined as a fan to most of your stuff (tho I did, very much to my surprise, quite enjoy the Jumanji reboot/quel), you seem like a perfectly lovely gentleman, but what in the hell is the virtue of looking like THAT? lol And I realize that may be a certain embellishment for this character, but the real you is plenty close enough. How much is enough, you're surely way in the black on healthy (short of maybe some genetic disease), you're way in the black on being strong enough to do pretty much anything possible. Are you overcompensating for something? (I promise this ain't even a dick joke)
I just can't help but find this rather fascinating.
