In recent months, Prime Video has managed to capture the attention of viewers with a series of buddy movies starring WWE stars, consolidating an appeal that evokes the nostalgia of the 90s. Among them are Red One, featuring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans; State of the Union, with John Cena and Idris Elba; and the most recent, The Demolition Brothers, starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa.
A Hilarious Buddy Movie
The demolition brothers have had a successful debut, reaching number 1 in 50 countries and grossing nearly 20 million dollars in its first weekend, with a budget of less than 3 million. The film features a disciplined Navy SEAL instructor, James Hale (Bautista), and an anarchic police detective, Jonny Hale (Momoa), whose opposing personalities force them to collaborate in a plot involving a murder and a conspiracy.
The film promises a mix of action and comedy, with well-choreographed graphic violence that keeps the viewer’s attention. Although the fiction follows the conventional scheme of a buddy movie, its quality in execution seems to have resonated favorably with both critics and the public. This project arose from a challenge on Twitter between Bautista and Momoa and was directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, who has been praised for his work.
As the entertainment industry seeks new formulas to attract audiences, the success of this movie demonstrates that the combination of charisma, explosive action, and humor can result in massive appeal. Amazon, like others in the sector, highlights the power of WWE figures in the cinematic realm, capitalizing on their popularity to revitalize a subgenre that seems to be making a comeback.

Historical dramas often focus on very specific historical periods. In Europe, any medieval era is acceptable, but if not, the Regency and Victorian ages are highly valued. In the US, anything from the 19th century onwards is fair game. In Japan, both the 19th century and the Tokugawa era stand out in a very particular way. And now that Korea is starting to gain weight in popular culture, the final part of the Joseon Dynasty, between the 18th and 19th centuries, is often highly appreciated.

Historical dramas often focus on very specific historical periods. In Europe, any medieval era is acceptable, but the Regency and Victorian ages are particularly appreciated. In the US, anything from the 19th century onwards is valid. In Japan, both the 19th century and the Tokugawa era stand out in a very particular way. And now that Korea is beginning to gain weight in popular culture, the final part of the Joseon Dynasty, between the 18th and 19th centuries, is often highly valued.
Aside from that, it is difficult to find historical dramas. That is why those who dare to make series or movies outside of those parameters tend to stand out. Whether from those regions or from those very specific historical periods. This is exactly what happens with the new Apple TV+ series, The Great Warrior.
A historical drama of an emerging Hawaii
At the beginning of the 19th century, the four great kingdoms of the Hawaiian Islands were at war. This is the context in which Ka’iana, a warlord from the kingdom of Kaua’i, decides to travel beyond the islands to become the most famous Hawaiian in the world. Upon returning home, he will join a bloody military campaign, rebelling at the last minute against the unification of Hawaii, under the command of Kamehameha I.
This is the premise of the series, which will take us to know the story of Ka’iana and, perhaps even more importantly, the unification of Hawaii. An inevitable fact, but one that led to a war of almost 28 years that, it seems, will provide material for a historical drama of nine episodes in which to narrate the story of this warlord who could not prevent the unification of all the islands under one mantle. Although we won’t tell you the reasons for it, because for that you’ll have to watch the miniseries.
Jason Momoa like you’ve never seen him
One of the great attractions of the series is that Ka’iana will not be just anyone, but will likely be the most famous Hawaiian in the world today. Jason Momoa, strikingly shaved and with his hair tied up, plays the most celebrated Hawaiian of his time until Kamehameha took that title from him, promising to draw many eyes to this series.
Because although it is true that the premise is interesting, let’s not kid ourselves: the history of Hawaii is not very well known. It is not the kind of story that will attract the audience at first glance. But a name and a face like Momoa’s, even unrecognizable as he is in the promotional images of the series, could very well be a good excuse to give the series a chance. Something you should do, because the story of the unification of Hawaii in general and that of Ka’iana in particular has the makings of a great television series.
Apple TV+, synonymous with quality
Being one of Apple TV+’s major bets for this summer, it shouldn’t surprise us that they will be airing them weekly. Unlike the competition, Apple believes it’s better to let people savor the stories and make them their own, something they have demonstrated with the great critical and public success of most of their original productions.
Pending the result of The Great Warrior, this miniseries presents itself as one of the major premieres of the season. Now we have to see if it also becomes one of the great premieres of the year, thanks to the presence of Momoa and the interesting story it wants to tell us. But coming from Apple TV+, one thing we are sure of is that the quality is guaranteed.
The term nepo baby, which refers to the children of celebrities who use their parents’ fame to boost their careers, has gained traction in recent years.

The term nepo baby, which refers to the children of celebrities who use their parents’ fame to boost their careers, has gained traction in recent years. Notable examples of this phenomenon include Maude Apatow, Leslie Mann, and Lily-Rose Depp, who have faced both advantages and criticism for their family connections in the entertainment industry. Recently, Jason Momoa has been in the spotlight for defending his son, Nakoa-Wolf, who is set to appear in ‘Dune 3’.
Son of his father
Momoa, known for his role in ‘Aquaman’ and for his upcoming appearance as Lobo in the DC universe, stated in an interview that he had no influence in the casting of his son, even though he is also part of the film’s cast. The actor expressed his pride in Nakoa-Wolf’s talent, stating that he truly believes his son has the potential to excel on his own merits. I want my children to be better than me, declared Momoa, emphasizing his confidence in his son’s ability to face challenges at a young age.
Despite Momoa’s claims about Nakoa-Wolf’s career, many critics and industry observers suggest that, as is natural, his father’s name has opened doors that would not be available to other young actors. However, Momoa emphasized that he and his partner have raised their children to be self-confident and feel loved, a key aspect of their personal and professional development.
The public’s perception of Momoa’s statement regarding his son reflects the complexity of the discussion surrounding nepo babies.As the release of ‘Dune 3’ approaches in 2026, the question of whether Nakoa-Wolf will be able to prove his worth on his own remains on the minds of many, being an expectation that not all actors can meet from the start of their careers.

The long-awaited movie based on the popular video game, A Minecraft Movie, will be released on the Max platform on June 20. This announcement has generated great excitement among fans of the game, especially in countries where Max is available, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. For those in regions where the service does not operate, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and India, the option to rent or purchase the movie will be available through platforms like Amazon and Apple TV.
If you missed it in theaters, this is for you
The movie, which debuted in theaters on March 4, features a star-studded cast including Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastien Hansen. In the plot, five humans are transported to the video game dimension, known as the Overworld, where they must join forces to defeat the villain Malgosha, who seeks to dominate the world with a magical artifact called the Orb of Dominance.
Since its release, A Minecraft Movie has proven to be a resounding box office success, accumulating over $951.51 million worldwide, making it one of the standout film productions of the year. However, it is rumored that Disney’s remake of Lilo & Stitch could surpass the Minecraft movie before its run in theaters ends, as it has grossed approximately $858.3 million globally.
Despite initial doubts about its success, A Minecraft Movie has exceeded expectations, demonstrating that the fervor of the game’s fan base and viral content on social media have contributed to its popularity. Critics have had mixed opinions, but it seems that Warner Bros. could maintain its box office lead for a while longer, at least until the release of anticipated feature films like Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for its upcoming series The Great Warrior, which will premiere on August 1, 2025, with the first two episodes out of a total of nine. This ambitious production, based on true events, follows the story of the warrior Ka’iana, played, unsurprisingly, by Jason Momoa, and his struggle to unify the islands and tribes of Hawaii against Western colonization in the late 18th century.
Subscribed to historical series
The great warrior is distinguished by his approach from an indigenous perspective, an aspect that has been emphasized by co-creators Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett, along with showrunner Doug Jung. In an effort to honor Polynesian culture, the series features a predominantly Polynesian cast, including well-known actors such as Luciane Buchanan and Temuera Morrison, among others. This decision not only enriches the narrative but also provides a more authentic representation of the story being told.
Jason Momoa, known for his role in Game of Thrones, has stated that this project is very personal to him, which adds an additional level of involvement and dedication to the production. In his second collaboration with Apple TV+, following the post-apocalyptic drama See, Momoa seems determined to make a significant impact in the realm of historical series.
With the arrival of the trailer, expectations have grown around this series that promises to take viewers on a journey through a tumultuous time in Hawaii’s history, highlighting the resilience and determination of its indigenous peoples. As the premiere date approaches, many are eager to see how this epic narrative and its complex characters will unfold.
