Benjamin Franklin famously said that only three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and another Fast & Furious movie coming to theaters sooner or later. Not counting spinoffs, the long-running action franchise is coming up on its tenth entry, and it’s officially hired Game of Thrones veteran Jason Momoa as its villain.
Momoa revealed the news himself while at the premiere of The Batman, which stars his former stepdaughter Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman. “I’m gonna go do Fast 10,” Momoa said, per ET Online. “I’m gonna go do this small little independent over in London. That’s gonna be fun. I get to play the bad guy, which I haven’t gotten to do for a while. Now, I get to be the bad boy. A very flamboyant bad boy.”
Momoa is one of the most charismatic celebrities around these days, so we daresay he’ll be able to pull off “flamboyant bad boy.”
Jason Momoa turns out to support Zoë Kravitz
Zoë Kravitz is the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet. Momoa started dating Bonet 17 years ago and married her five years ago, so he’s been in Zoe’s life for a long time. Momoa and Bonet also have two kids of their own together, Lola and Nokoa Wolf.
Momoa and Bonet recently split, although they may be giving things another chance. However that goes, he’s happy to support a member of his family. “We’re just so proud,” he said. “Lisa couldn’t be here so we’re representing, me and the babies. We’re very excited to just be here. …It’s still family, you know?”
He should fit right in with the Fast & Furious crowd.
