If buddy comedies happen to be one of your favorite genres, it’s time to add The Wrecking Crew to your watch list. Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa will star in this promising project, which hails from the Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto.
It’s only been a few days since DC’s superhero movie Blue Beetle hit the theaters, but Soto already set his eyes on his next project. His buddy action comedy The Wrecking Crew is being developed by MGM and it will star two actors who are no strangers to playing superheroes: Guardians of the Galaxy’s Dave Bautista and Aquaman’s Jason Momoa.
Warrior creator Jonathan Tropper penned the script for this buddy comedy, and the leading duo was in talks to star long before the SAG-AFTA strike kicked off. Plot details remain unknown, but there was a lot of interest in this film in 2021 when Bautista and Momoa originally pitched it to studios and MGM won a four-bidder battle.
Bautista and Momoa previously starred in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, and Bautista will return for its sequel later this year, after appearing in Knock at the Cabin and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. As for Momoa, he most recently starred in Fast X and The Flash and we’ll soon get to see him in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
