Jason Momoa Joins Helldivers Movie: Release Date & Director Revealed
Jason Momoa is officially joining the Helldivers. In a move that has the community alternating raising “Liber-tea” toasts, Sony and PlayStation Productions have announced that the Aquaman and Dune star will lead the live-action adaptation of Arrowhead’s co-op shooter.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a 500kg bomb of star power landing right on our heads. The news just dropped that Jason Momoa is officially joining the fight for Super Earth as he joins the cast for the live-action adaptation of Helldivers.
Arrowhead Game Studios’ third-person shooter is a game where you’re a hero for five seconds and a red smear on a rock for the next five. Now, Hollywood is trying to bottle that lightning.

Helldivers: Jason Momoa and Justin Lin Team Up for 2027
Sony isn’t wasting any time. Following the staggering success of Helldivers 2, which moved over 12 million units in record time, the film has been fast-tracked for a November 10, 2027 launch.
By tapping director Justin Lin, the man who turned Fast & Furious into a global heist juggernaut and gave us the visually stunning Star Trek Beyond, is the perfect candidate to direct a film that requires both scale and squad-based chemistry.
Additionally, the script is being penned by Gary Dauberman (It, Annabelle), suggesting we might get a healthy dose of the sci-fi horror that makes the Terminid planets so terrifying.
HD2 vs The “Hollywood Effect”
The core magic of the HD2 universe is its satire. It is a world where soldiers are nameless, lives are cheap, and the propaganda is spread thick.
Many will question whether Hollywood tones down the sharp edges of the game’s fascist satire to make a standard hero’s journey?
Momoa’s natural charisma and “tough-guy” energy could perfectly mirror the over-the-top, patriotic machismo found in the game’s tutorial and recruitment videos.
If Lin embraces the Starship Troopers vibe, Momoa might just be the best General Brasch we never knew we needed.
To Hell and Back for Super Earth
Whether you love the casting or wish they’d gone with a group of unknowns, this project is officially moving at light speed. Momoa has the charisma to lead a troop, but the real test is whether he can stay humble enough to die for the cause, repeatedly.
We’ve got a long wait until 2027, so there’s plenty of time to sharpen our capes and pray the script stays true to the satire. If Justin Lin leans into the absurdity, we might just have the next great sci-fi epic on our hands. If not, it’s a long walk to the extraction zone.
