Jason Momoa Reveals the Job He Should be Doing: "I'm Actually Better at Doing That Than Acting "
60Ever since his debut on Baywatch: Hawaii back in 1999, the brilliant Jason Momoa's rise to the top has been well-deserved. From portraying Khal Drogo in the first two seasons of Game of Thrones to joining the DC Universe, Momoa has proven to be a sure-fire way to put eyes on a project. Thankfully, his next is coming straight from the heart, as Momoa teams up with Apple TV+ to bring to life Chief of War.
Created by Momoa and Thomas Paʻa Sibbett, the series is set against the beautiful backdrop of 17th-century Hawai'i, and follows Momoa's warrior, Ka‘iana, as he attempts to bring his local community together against impending Western colonialization. Putting in effort to bring authenticity through story and language to a global audience, Chief of War has the potential to bring much-needed mainstream attention to a culture underrepresented on screen. The historical drama series also stars Temuera Morrison (The Mandalorian), Luciane Buchanan (The Night Agent), Cliff Curtis (Avatar: The Way of Water), and Mainei Kinimaka (See).
Ahead of the show's release, Collider's Steve Weintraub sat with co-creators Momoa and Sibbett to discuss all things Chief of War, including Momoa's work as a director, the pitching process involved in bringing a show of this nature to life, the importance of language, and much more.
