US EditionJason Momoa to Star in ‘Helldivers’ Movie Adaptation
- Jason Momoa has signed to headline Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' Helldivers, directed by Justin Lin, with a theatrical release set for November 10, 2027.
- The franchise began in 2015 and Helldivers 2, sequel that sold over 12,000,000 units, gave the IP commercial heft while Gary Dauberman, screenwriter, wrote the initial screenplay attracting Lin.
- PlayStation Productions brings TV experience as a producer on Twisted Metal and The Last of Us, continuing Sony Pictures' collaboration after Helldivers.
- Jason Momoa's box-office track record is mixed as he remains unproven as a solo franchise lead, and his prior Fast X collaboration with Lin was critically panned but performed adequately, while PlayStation-backed film adaptations have had varied success.
- Alongside Helldivers, Sony is advancing other PlayStation projects like Horizon Zero Dawn, while commentators note translating its Starship Troopers-like parody tone will be challenging.
