Actor Jason Momoa recently shared his thoughts on joining the Fast & Furious franchise and the potential for drama on set, given the past controversies that have arisen within the franchise.

History of Drama In The Fast & Furious Franchise

Since the release of The Fast and the Furious in 2001, the franchise has faced various controversies and drama-filled stories. One such example was the intense feud between Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which ultimately led to Johnson’s exit from the franchise after Hobbs and Shaw in 2019.

Moreover, Fast X began with some difficulties as director Justin Lin left the production after only one week of work. Louis Leterrier took over for the remainder of the Furious Saga.

Jason Momoa’s Experience On Fast X

Jason Momoa, who joined the Fast & Furious franchise for Fast X, was initially concerned about encountering drama on set, but was pleasantly surprised by his co-stars’ supportive attitudes. Momoa praised his co-stars, particularly Vin Diesel, for being so welcoming and friendly.

Momoa also expressed his appreciation for director Louis Leterrier, who encouraged him to take his villainous role as Dante to the next level. Momoa’s main objective was to portray a villain that audiences would want to kill.

Momoa is no stranger to drama in his acting career, particularly with his time playing Aquaman in the DC Universe alongside Amber Heard, whose legal troubles have been in the public eye.

As a result, Momoa was determined to avoid any extra drama on the set of Fast X. With social media posts from co-stars that showcased their camaraderie and friendship, Momoa’s expectations were unquestionably exceeded.

The Importance of Family In The Fast & Furious Franchise

In the Fast & Furious franchise, “family” is the core concept, and Momoa’s positive experience on set seems to support this idea. With Fast X and the untitled Fast & Furious 11 bringing the franchise to a close, it appears that the cast and crew are committed to ending the saga on a high note.
