The ‘Fast X’ Director Is Teasing Jason Momoa’s Villainous Character As Being ‘1,000 Percent Momoa’

Ahead of the release of the Fast X trailer, Empire published an interview with the film’s director, Louis Leterrier, who replaced Justin Lin after The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift filmmaker stepped down less than a week after shooting began.

“I’m more practical than other directors, and I brought it back to earth,” Leterrier said. “We went for real stunts, which we’re enhancing with visual effects. We shot in LA, London, Rio, Portugal. We blew up Hummers flying around Rome. There’ll be some iconic imagery in this one. You will see: as long as Dom Toretto is behind the wheel of a car, there’s nothing he cannot do.” Words to live by, right there.

Leterrier also teased Jason Momoa’s “very sadistic and androgynous” villain character, Dante. “[He’s] 1,000 percent Momoa,” he said, as if Momoa could be anything less than 1,000 percent himself. He even rides a motorcycle.
