Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa go way back as co-stars, and their bond just keeps getting stronger with projects like Dune, See, and now the hot new Prime Video flick The Wrecking Crew. Bautista’s been super open about loving their vibe, calling it effortless and fun—no drama, just good times on and off screen. Fans are eating up these two tough guys turning into total bros.
Dave Bautista’s Take on Their Epic Co-Star Chemistry
Dave Bautista straight-up says he and Jason Momoa have “great chemistry” both on-screen and off, which is why they cooked up The Wrecking Crew together. He told the Press Association he “loves” working with Momoa because it’s stress-free and lets them lean into the funny side—Momoa’s a riot, Bautista says. This isn’t new; back in 2021 for See season 2, Bautista gushed he’d wanted to team up for years since they “really gel” despite opposite energies—he’s chill and introverted, Momoa’s high-energy extrovert.

Dave Bautista Dishes on Jason Momoa Friendship Perks
Bautista’s all about how real their friendship feels, joking he has “all the dirt” on Momoa from their shoots and praising him as a true artist who takes the action beatings like a champ in The Wrecking Crew. He highlights their brotherly trust, especially playing estranged siblings in the film, which mirrors how comfy they are just chilling in silence—no need to talk. Bautista even ribs Momoa’s “obnoxious” fitness routine, showing that playful teasing that’s core to their no-BS bond.
How It All Started and Where It’s Headed
They first geeked out at Comic-Con years ago, sparking instant vibes that led to Dune (no shared scenes), See (as siblings), and now this Hawaii-set action-comedy dropping January 28, 2026, on Prime Video. Bautista’s pumped for fans to see their dynamic deliver laughs and heart, ditching typecasting for real emotion amid the fights. With Momoa calling Bautista an “older brother” he can count on anytime, it’s clear Dave Bautista feels the same family-level loyalty right back.
