April 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting month for Jason Momoa fans, as the actor takes center stage in one of the most highly anticipated films of the year: A Minecraft Movie, slated for release on April 4. Momoa, who has become a beloved figure in Hollywood thanks to his iconic roles as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, Arthur Curry/Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, and Duncan Idaho in Dune, brings his signature charm and versatility to a new, family-friendly role in this live-action adaptation of the massively popular video game.
The Minecraft Movie, directed by Jared Hess, takes audiences on an imaginative journey to the Overworld, a cubic world that requires creativity and resourcefulness to navigate. Momoa stars as Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, a key character who embarks on a quest with a group of misfits, including Steve (played by Jack Black), Natalie (Emma Myers), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks). The film’s connection to the globally beloved Minecraft franchise, which has sold over 300 million copies since its release in 2011, ensures that it will capture the attention of millions of fans around the world.
The movie’s release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, but production wrapped up in April 2024, securing the April 2025 premiere date. This positions A Minecraft Movie as a key moment for Momoa’s fans in April, marking a significant milestone in his career and offering an exciting new project that spans genres from action to family entertainment.
Aside from A Minecraft Movie, April does not feature any major milestones or anniversaries from Momoa’s career. His birthday falls in August, his marriage to Lisa Bonet took place in October 2017, and his children were born in July 2007 and December 2008—none of which align with April. Additionally, his career began with Baywatch: Hawaii in 1999, and his major film projects like Aquaman (2018) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) were released in December, making April a relatively quiet month in terms of career milestones.
Nevertheless, the buzz surrounding A Minecraft Movie has sparked significant anticipation and fan engagement. Momoa has already appeared at fan screenings, such as the one in Mexico City on March 22, 2025, where he dressed as his character, further fueling excitement for the film’s release. As fans eagerly await the premiere, Momoa’s fans can look forward to celebrating this new, thrilling addition to his diverse body of work.
Comparing this to his past projects, April has not typically been a month for big releases in Momoa’s career. Most of his major films have premiered in December, and other past projects such as The Last Manhunt (2022) and Fast X (2023) debuted in the fall and spring, respectively. A Minecraft Movie represents a departure from this pattern, giving Momoa’s fans something special to celebrate during this typically quieter month.
As April 2025 unfolds, A Minecraft Movie stands out as a key event for Jason Momoa fans, bringing new excitement and engagement to the month. The film’s release offers an opportunity for fans to celebrate Momoa’s versatility and passion for taking on unique roles, while also marking a turning point in a month that has historically seen fewer significant career events for the actor. For those who admire his work in action and fantasy genres, April is shaping up to be a month to remember.
