Jason Momoa protagonist of the film based on the video game Helldivers

The cinematic narrative will be inspired by the game’s premise, centering on an elite unit of soldiers engaged in an interstellar war against alien threats to ensure the survival of the fictional Super Earth. This project is part of a trail of successful adaptations for Sony, which has recently consolidated its position in the sector thanks to the commercial results of Uncharted and the critical success of series such as The Last of Us and Twisted Metal. Momoa’s choice confirms the strategy of the big studios to link important intellectual properties to faces of global appeal, capable of attracting a transversal audience that goes beyond the consolidated user base of the video game.

A particularly busy film season awaits the actor, which will see him move between various leading franchises. In addition to his role as Blanka in the upcoming Street Fighter and his return as Duncan Idaho in Dune: Part Three, Momoa is also expected in the DC universe as Lobo. His participation in Helldivers further strengthens his profile as a reference interpreter for large contemporary action productions, in a market that is increasingly rewarding the convergence between interactive and theater entertainment.
