The powerful duo of Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista has arrived in the Hawaiian islands to star in the new action film, The Wrecking Crew, now available on Prime. This intense movie combines their strength and charisma as they portray half brothers who become reluctant heroes caught in the midst of chaos.
Returning to Roots and Familiar Faces
For Jason Momoa, filming in Hawaii holds a special personal significance. He enjoys bringing projects back home, reconnecting with the crew he first worked with at a young age, surrounded by familiar faces and family.
“I’m always trying to bring films back home. My favorite places on earth are Hawaii and New Zealand, so anything I can bring back, and you know, I go home. I get to work with the crew that I grew up working with when I was 19, so a lot of friendly faces and family, and my family’s there, so it’s always an honor.”

Strong Chemistry Between On-Screen Brothers
Jason Momoa expressed how naturally he and Dave Bautista connect both on and off camera, making their partnership seamless despite having contrasting personalities.
“It’s effortless with him, like, we really just, like, fall in sync. We’re very good work partners. We’re good friends. We are opposite, but we are, like, so supportive and loving and egoless in a working relationship, and I love making him laugh. He’s got a great laugh, great smile, so I love getting in there.”

Venturing Beyond Action: Comedy on the Horizon
While known for his commanding presence in action roles, Jason shares a desire to explore comedy, a genre that challenges him but excites him, especially as he plans to work with Andy Samberg in a future project also set in Hawaii.
“I would love to do more comedy. It’s scary for me. I mean, I think, maybe for comedians it would be scary to do action. It’s just a thing that you don’t know as much, so I’m gonna go do a comedy right after this with Andy Samberg. It’s my daughter’s favorite actor. I’m excited, and I love it. That’ll be in Hawaii, too.”

The Man Behind the Tough Exterior
Despite his rugged image, Jason reveals a more vulnerable side, explaining how challenging it can be for him to perform publicly or engage in moments that require him to be in the spotlight, such as talk shows.
“I’ve never done theater. I don’t like doing stuff and performing in front of people. I get scared going to do a talk show. I get nervous. I mean, like, you’re just fooled by this Hawaiian forehead and this outer growl, but inside, I’m a little boy screaming. Just going, ‘Ah.’ freaking out. Just going like, ‘I can’t believe I’m here.’”
