After the first week of Fast X in theaters, Jason Momoa is the star that has won the most hearts of the online community. The Hawaiian-born actor plays Dante Reyes – the son of tycoon Hernan Reyes who appeared in Fast Five (2011). After many years of training, he replaced his father as a dangerous criminal and sought revenge against the old team of Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel).

Contrary to John Cena’s villain Jakob Toretto, Momoa’s Dante is more flamboyant and scheming, not merely using violence to solve problems. He is also expected to be the main enemy of Dominic’s group in the final films of the Fast & Furious franchise.
Although there are still many controversies about the quality of the content of season 10, both critics and audiences agree that Jason Momoa is the character that makes the most impression on the episode. Many even called him the best villain of the brand, praising his impressive transformation “above perfect”.
Screen Rant commented that Jason Momoa took the spotlight every time he appeared. “The best parts of Fast X are the scenes where Dante hits. The character is charming, funny, and also scary. His childish personality mixed with his ruthlessness and intrigue makes Dom suffer a lot. .

CNS audience:
To put it bluntly, Fast X is saved by the bisexual incarnation of Jason Momoa. He seems to transform into Jim Carrey in Batman Forever. With this film, Jason was given the freedom to express himself. I am very excited to look forward to his next projects.
TKS audience:
The title of Best Villain of the Fast & Furious franchise goes to Jason Momoa’s role of Dante. He acted more than perfect in each of his scenes.
PK audience:
Watching Fast X, I found Jason Momoa’s Dante to be more terrifying than the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Kang.
Dante could be the breakthrough role in Jason Momoa’s acting career. The Hawaiian-born star has been pursuing a movie dream for nearly 20 years and has many notable projects such as Game of Thrones, Aquaman. However, he is often only praised for his appearance and active lifestyle in real life. Critics often criticize Momoa’s previous incarnations as being rigid and lacking in emphasis.
After its opening weekend, Fast X grossed $319 million worldwide, including $67.5 million in North America. However, the project is expected to need an additional 500 million USD to break even with the budget of 340 million USD.
