This reflection reveals an actor perpetually in pursuit of growth, unafraid to traverse the expansive landscape of his craft, perVariety.
“I don’t really think I’ve done anything so far. I’m not going to be able to master all of these things. I’m a solid C+ to B- at everything. But I like doing a lot of different things, and I’m not an A at one thing,” he confessed.
The actor’s venture into comedy underscores this relentless pursuit. Momoa humorously recalled his stints onSaturday Night Liveand his role inSlumberland, reflecting on these experiences with a blend of humility and aspiration. His project roster continues to diversify with upcoming venturesincluding a comedy-action film alongside Dave Bautistaand the potential for a second season of his show,On the Roam, contingent upon its reception. Momoa revealed:
“I have Minecraft. I’m going to do another comedy-esque action thing with Dave Bautista after that. If people love [my show, On the Roam], I’d love to do a Season 2.”
However, Momoa’s reflections were tinged with a candid acknowledgment of the elusive nature of critical acclaim in his career. “I’ve just never been a part of movies that — none of my movies are going to the awards. I’m not really that guy,” he remarked. Yet, this admission is far from a surrender; instead, it seems to fuel his ambition, hinting at a future where he might explore roles in critically acclaimed narratives.
In discussing his involvement inFast X: Part Two, Momoa revealed his proactive approach, having pitched his own ideas for the project, although he remains in the dark about the final script. His enthusiasm for playing the antagonist hints at a versatile actor keen on exploring the multifaceted nature of characters, even reveling in the complex layers of a villain.
