During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Aquaman star Jason Momoa shared his aspirations for a cinematic collaboration with longtime friend Dwayne Johnson. Despite their busy schedules, Momoa remains optimistic about the possibility of teaming up with Johnson on the silver screen.
Reflecting on their enduring friendship, which spans nearly two decades, Momoa revealed, “We tried to get together and make a movie together but it’s just he’s way busier than I am and I’m pretty busy right now so, one of these days!” The sentiment was met with enthusiastic agreement from host Jimmy Fallon, who echoed the sentiment that the duo must indeed unite for a film project.
In a light-hearted exchange, Momoa humorously hinted at Johnson’s indebtedness, joking, “We will! And it’s really cool because now he’s kind of in my pocket so I can call him up and be like, ‘Yo!’ and I got him.” The camaraderie between the two actors was further evidenced by Momoa’s recent gesture of sending a personalized video message to Johnson’s daughter, Tiana Gia, on her third birthday, as Aquaman, her favorite superhero.
The anticipation for a potential collaboration between Momoa and Johnson has been fueled by their shared history and mutual admiration. Momoa’s comments on The Tonight Show come amidst his ongoing success, including his portrayal of Aquaman in Zack Snyder’s Justice League and his upcoming role in the Discovery docuseries, On the Roam, where he will embark on a journey to discover remarkable individuals and places.
As fans eagerly await updates on Momoa and Johnson’s cinematic endeavor, the prospect of these two powerhouse actors joining forces promises an exciting addition to the world of entertainment. Stay tuned for further developments on this eagerly anticipated collaboration.
