Jason Momoa, known for his roles in hit films like “Aquaman” and “Game of Thrones,” has recently expressed his admiration for Vin Diesel’s unwavering commitment to the “Fast & Furious” series. Momoa, who joins the franchise for the first time as the antagonist Dante Reyes in the upcoming film “Fast X,” opened up about his experience working alongside Diesel and the rest of the cast and crew.

In a recent interview, Momoa shared his thoughts on joining the iconic action franchise and portraying a villain for the first time in his career. “In nearly 10 years of pursuing acting, I’ve never played a villain before,” Momoa revealed. “People didn’t believe I could portray such a character, and they didn’t give me the creative freedom to develop the role. However, I was given the opportunity to test my skills in ‘Fast X,’ and I poured all my effort and passion into portraying Dante.”

Momoa went on to discuss the complexity of his character and the challenges he faced in bringing Dante to life on screen. “The conflict between Dante and Dom [played by Vin Diesel] is complex,” Momoa explained. “Dante is much more dangerous than Dom’s previous opponents, and I had to find ways to portray his cunning and ruthlessness convincingly.”

Despite the challenges, Momoa expressed his excitement about joining the “Fast & Furious” family and working with the talented cast and crew. “Working on ‘Fast X’ has been one of the most memorable experiences of my career,” Momoa said. “I was impressed by the dedication and professionalism of everyone involved, especially Vin Diesel. Vin has been dedicated to the franchise for over 20 years, and his commitment to his role as Dom is truly inspiring.”

Momoa praised Diesel for his leadership on set and his ability to transform into his character at a moment’s notice. “Vin is always there for us, ensuring the best conditions for everyone,” Momoa said. “When filming, he quickly transforms into Dom, from his voice to his acting style. It’s truly remarkable to witness.”

As Momoa prepares to make his mark on the “Fast & Furious” franchise, fans can expect to see a new side of the actor as he takes on the role of the formidable Dante Reyes. And with Vin Diesel leading the way, it’s clear that the future of the franchise is in good hands.
