Once the strike ends in Hollywood, Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista are set to star in an action comedy together.
Two of the currently most likeable muscle mountains of the cinema screen will probably soon be seen together in a film. As the US portal “The Wrap” first reported, the superstars Jason Momoa (“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”, 44) and Dave Bautista (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”, 54) are said to be in the planned action Comedy “The Wrecking Crew” take the lead roles. The buddy cop film in the style of classics like “Lethal Weapon” (1987) is directed by DC director Angel Manuel Soto (“Blue Beetle”, 40).

Legend has it that the two superstars initiated the project themselves while spending time together on the set of the Apple TV+ streaming series See: Reich der Blinden (2019-2022). momoa declared almost exactly two years ago during an appearance on ‘The Late Late Show With James Corden’ that he and Bautista will be seen shirtless in Hawaii in the upcoming action-comedy. Bautista should also only be dressed in triangular swimming trunks, while the native Hawaiian Momoa would like to appear in so-called board shorts – and thus a little more fabric on the body.
Jonathan Tropper (53), who has become known through the Cinemax series “Warrior” (since 2019), is responsible for the script based on an original idea of the two stars. The script is according to “Hollywood Reporter” finished before the current Hollywood writers’ strike. After the end of the double strike by the writers and actors, the filming of “The Wrecking Crew” can begin. Further details about the plot are not yet available.
Two of the biggest action stars on the planet
Bautista and Momoa have already been in front of the camera for some film and series projects such as “See – Reich der Blinden” or Denis Villeneuve’s (55) sci-fi milestone “Dune” (2021), but have never formed together the center of a film.
Bautista is best known as Alien Drax the Destroyer from the Guardians of the Galaxy film trilogy and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This year he starred in M. Night Shyamalan’s (53) latest work “Knock at the Cabin” in cinemas. Momoa, meanwhile, shone as new villain Dante in Fast & Furious 10 this summer. In the eagerly awaited sequel “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” at the end of the year he will again slip into his most well-known role of the superhero Aquaman. The DC movie is slated to hit theaters on December 21st.
