Jason Momoa‘s 2026 movies are off to a strong start as his latest film, The Wrecking Crew, has climbed to the top of Prime Video’s movie charts. Known for his rise to fame as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, Momoa continues to expand his presence in Hollywood with diverse roles in action-packed films and major franchises.
The Wrecking Crew Leads Prime Video’s Movie Rankings
The Wrecking Crew stars Jason Momoa alongside Dave Bautista in a story about two estranged brothers who reunite after their father’s passing, only to uncover a perilous conspiracy. Released on Prime Video on January 28, the film quickly became the platform’s number one movie, outperforming titles like Ballerina, Trap House, Kung Fu Panda 4, and The Baker, according to FlixPatrol.
Critics have generally responded positively to the film, which holds a 75% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. It offers a high-energy action experience with strong performances from its lead actors, making it a compelling choice for fans of thrilling and character-driven stories.

A Robust Schedule of Projects Awaits Jason Momoa in 2026
After The Wrecking Crew, Momoa has four additional films planned for release this year, showcasing his versatility as an actor. His next project, Animal Friends, comes out on May 1 and features a blend of live-action and animation. Momoa voices Bear, one of two fugitive animals on the run from the DEA. The film boasts an ensemble cast including Ryan Reynolds, Aubrey Plaza, Dan Levy, Eric Andre, and Vince Vaughn, under the direction of Peter Atencio, noted for his work on Key & Peele and the 2016 film Keanu.
In June, Momoa will make his debut in the DC Universe (DCU) as the character Lobo in the film Supergirl. This role departs from his previous DC portrayal of Aquaman, portraying Lobo as a ruthless intergalactic mercenary and bounty hunter, which adds a fresh dimension to Momoa’s repertoire in the superhero genre.
