Jason Momoa's Latest Updates: Red Carpet Romance and Son's Hollywood Debut

Jason Momoa continues to be a prominent figure in Hollywood, with recent developments spanning his professional career and personal life. Updates include a new public relationship, the upcoming release of a passion project rooted in his heritage, and discussions about his children’s potential future in the film industry. These events highlight his work as an actor and producer, along with his role as a father.

Public Debut with Adria Arjona

Jason Momoa has publicly confirmed his relationship with actress Adria Arjona. In May 2024, Momoa shared photos on Instagram from a trip to Japan, which included pictures of him and Arjona. He referred to her as "mi amor" in the post's caption, which publicly acknowledged their relationship.

The couple later made their first red carpet appearance together at the UK premiere of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. They were photographed together at the event, further solidifying their public status as a couple. Momoa and Arjona previously worked together on the 2021 Netflix film Sweet Girl. Arjona is known for her roles in productions such as Father of the Bride, Andor, and Morbius.

This development follows Momoa's separation from Lisa Bonet. Momoa and Bonet announced their separation in January 2022 after 16 years together. Bonet officially filed for divorce in January 2024, and the divorce was finalized shortly after. They share two children, daughter Lola Iolani and son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha.

'Chief of War': A Project of Heritage

Momoa is the co-creator, writer, and star of the upcoming Apple TV+ series Chief of War. The historical drama series centers on the story of Kaʻiana, a warrior who was the first Native Hawaiian to have extensive contact with the Western world. The narrative focuses on the unification and colonization of Hawaiʻi from an Indigenous perspective.

For Momoa, who is of Native Hawaiian descent, this project is deeply personal. He has been developing the concept for many years. The production was filmed in Hawaii and is notable for its commitment to historical and cultural accuracy. The series is presented in the Hawaiian language, a decision made to honor the culture it portrays.

Chief of War represents a significant step for Momoa as a creator and producer. He serves as an executive producer alongside co-creators Thomas Paʻa Sibbett, Francis Lawrence, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Doug Jung. The series features a cast composed primarily of Polynesian actors. Apple TV+ has not yet announced an official release date for the nine-episode limited series.

A Potential Future for Nakoa-Wolf Momoa in 'Dune'

Recent reports have touched on the possibility of Jason Momoa’s son, Nakoa-Wolf, entering the acting world. Contrary to some speculation about a confirmed role, Momoa has expressed a personal hope that his son might one day portray a younger version of his Dune character, Duncan Idaho [2].

In interviews, Momoa has discussed the potential for a prequel story centered on Duncan Idaho, a character he played in Dune: Part One. He stated that if such a project were to materialize, he believes his son would be an ideal choice for the role [2]. Momoa expressed confidence in his son's abilities, noting that he resembles a younger version of himself. He has also mentioned that Nakoa-Wolf has shown interest in acting.

As of now, there is no official confirmation of a Duncan Idaho prequel series or film, and Nakoa-Wolf has not been formally cast in any Dune project. Momoa's comments reflect his personal wishes and support for his son's potential career path. His daughter, Lola, has also shown an interest in filmmaking, and Momoa has supported her creative endeavors as well.

Upcoming Film and Television Roles

Beyond his personal projects, Jason Momoa remains active with several major film roles. His future in the DC Universe has been a subject of discussion among fans and industry insiders. After starring in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the final film in the former DC Extended Universe, his continuation as the character is uncertain under the new leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Studios.

There have been persistent rumors that Momoa could take on the role of a different DC character, Lobo, in the new DCU. Momoa has expressed enthusiasm for the character in the past, but no official casting has been announced.

One of his confirmed upcoming projects is the live-action film adaptation of the video game Minecraft. He is set to star in the film alongside Jack Black and Danielle Brooks. The movie is directed by Jared Hess and is currently scheduled for release in April 2025. Momoa's role in the film has not yet been specified. This project demonstrates his continued involvement in large-scale, franchise-based filmmaking.
