The Honolulu-born actor is usually cast in roles of tough guys, strongmen and warriors, but in the case of the tenth installment of Fast and Furious Louis Leterrier wanted the end result to be the opposite of Jason Momoa's typical image. "Threat comes through humor, and humor comes through danger. These transitions made us realize that we were on common ground. And then we started to work, rehearsals began, adding new dialogues and new scenes - to be honest, they were exclusively for his character. But it was all thanks to Jason. I wouldn't have been able to do it with anyone else," he revealed for Comic Book. Leterrier then described how Dante turned into a distorted version of the Hawaiian actor, a vision that the actor gladly embraced. "Whoever Dante is, he is a bizarre version of Jason Momoa. An aggressive, angry, warped Jason Momoa. Jason drives 1938 Bentleys, builds motorcycles, has silk scarves and so on. You just have to buy it and then believe that's who Dante is." It seems that viewers have accepted the character, although around the time of the premiere of Fast X there was no shortage of "family" jokes. However, these applied more to the series as a whole. After all, over the years, the movies moved away from depicting classic street racing and became action-packed, chase and explosion action flicks devoid of deeper meaning. Related:Fortnite Movie?
