Jason Momoa Talks About COVID Affected Hollywood
If anything has brought the speeding world to a momentary halt, it was the Covid-19 pandemic. And the reach of the viral outbreak was nothing short of exponential.

So did Hollywood when the outbreak halted productions and social distancing was enforced upon us all. With no foreseeable solution in sight, ongoing projects remained indefinitely suspended. However, now that the world has found its momentum again, the industry is launching blockbusters off the ground, kickstarting the wheel of theatrical releases once again. ToJason Momoa, however,Tom Cruiseis to be thanked for making that happen.
“The nice thing about what’s happened with COVID is that everyone is trying to rush to meet these deadlines but we know it should come out when it’s ready to come out [at a time] when everybody is getting back in the movie theaters. So, thank you Tom Cruise.”

Jason Momoa’s Take on WB Discovery’s Strategic Shifts
WhenDavid Zaslavannounced the scrapping ofBatgirl, it was also followed by the news of a long-term plan that will take DC in a direction previously attempted only by those likeGeorge LucasandKevin Feige. However, the news was overshadowed by the apathetic shelving of a fully filmed $90 million movie, which then added to the audience’s concern that the future projects under the wing of WB are no longer entirely safe, especially those in development limbo.

When asked about the string of controversies surrounding Warner Bros. and its new management, Jason Momoa had only constructive things to say —“I just trust in them to make the right decisions, and I gotta stay in my lane.”The actor is also immensely enthusiastic about the direction of his new film which he claims to be incredibly proud of and also having a hand in its conception.
“We wrote a great story. I was one of the writers on it and the minute we finished [Aquaman] I went in with a 50-page outline for the second one and they used it and they liked it. It’s got my heart in it […] If people don’t like it and it feels like it’s past its due date, then we won’t make another one […] But if they love it, then we will make more, you know. I don’t want to force anything down someone’s throat to watch it. But I love it.”
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdomis slated for theatrical release on 20 August 2025.
