Jason Momoa Confirms Major 2025 Project & Shocking Aquaman 2 Update—Everything Fans Need to Know

Jason Momoa is closing out 2025 with a tidal wave of headlines that prove the Aquaman star remains one of Hollywood’s most versatile crowd-pullers. ​ Deadline has confirmed that Momoa has boarded actress-writer Luciane Buchanan’s short film “Lea Tupu’anga/Mother Tongue” as executive producer, lending his clout to the Oscar-contending project that shines a light on Pacific Islander identity and language revitalization. The 17-minute drama premiered at Sundance 2024 and is now streaming for Academy voters ahead of the Live-Action Short shortlist announcement. At the same time, Momoa’s first post-Game of Thrones series “The Red Road” just returned to Netflix after a six-year absence, instantly climbing the platform’s global Top 10 and introducing a new generation to his brooding anti-hero Philip Kopus. The rediscovery dovetails with the ongoing success of “See” reruns and anticipation for Apple TV+’s 2026 historical epic “Chief of War,” keeping the actor firmly in the binge-watch conversation. Momoa’s big-screen slate is equally stacked. Amazon MGM Studios dropped first-look images from the 2026 buddy-action comedy “The Wrecking Crew,” pairing Momoa with longtime friend Dave Bautista for what insiders describe as “Lethal Weapon in flip-flops”. Meanwhile, his overlooked 2014 werewolf thriller “Wolves” is enjoying a surprise second life on Tubi, where viewership surged after the streamer added the title to its December horror carousel. Off-camera, the 46-year-old sparked viral buzz by unveiling a freshly shorn scalp for a sustainable-fashion campaign, reminding fans that his trademark locks aren’t essential to his leading-man appeal—nor to his environmental activism. With prestige producing, streaming revivals and blockbuster franchises all hitting at once, Jason Momoa is demonstrating the rare ability to dominate trending charts across film, television and social media simultaneously—a feat that positions him as a perpetual headline generator heading into 2026.
