When talking about the character Cooper, he said that Momoa fit the bill perfectly after reading the script.
“When we first read this script, we knew there was only one actor who could bring the gravitas and depth to the role of Cooper, and that’s Jason. And this is the perfect vehicle for Brian to make his directorial debut,” Fierson said.
Momoa is best known for his roles as Aquaman in the DCEU films, Khal Drogo in HBO’s Game of Thrones and Declan Harp in Frontier.
