Hollywood star Jason Momoa is speeding toward a new stage in his career as he joins Universal's Fast and Furious franchise.
Recently, the actor talked to Entertainment Tonight at the launch of See's third and last season on Apple TV+. Fast X, directed by Louis Leterrier, is slated for release on May 19, 2023, and during the interview, he hinted at the villain role he'll play alongside Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto in the movie.
"I've never played a character that's, what's the word -- he's evil and quirky and androgynous," Momoa explained. "He's very sadistic and fun. It's very bizarre." Momoa went on to say that he had a very enjoyable time filming the part and also felt welcomed into the long-running film series. "I haven't played a villain in a very long time," he added.
"It's a bit of a brothers' journey," Momoa said about the Warner Bros title. "So it's a lot of funny stuff, and there's a lot of stuff that's just what's going on in our environment, talking about climate change and just hitting on certain things that I wanted to hit on. Just a lot of laughs and also a lot of pain, so there's wonderful action."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the actor was also questioned regarding Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the sequel to his DC Comics character of the same name, which is scheduled to hit theatres on March 17, 2023.
He talked about the relationship between his own Arthur Curry character and Patrick Wilson's Orm Marius, who is the hero's half-brother.
Lee Pace joins the voice cast of Prime Video’s Invincible as Thragg in Season 4.
Thragg is the Grand Regent of the Viltrum Empire and the most powerful Viltrumite.
Season 4, due March 2026, sets the stage for the ultimate conflict between Mark Grayson and the Viltrumites.
Lee Pace joins as Invincible’s ultimate villain
Prime Video has confirmed that Lee Pace will voice Thragg, the Grand Regent of the Viltrum Empire, in Invincible Season 4. The announcement was made during a panel at New York Comic Con, which also featured a new teaser for the Burger Mart scenes and confirmed the series’ March 2026 release window.
Thragg is the mastermind behind key characters such as Omni-Man, Anissa, and Conquest. As one of the few survivors of the Viltrumite Civil War, he is dedicated to restoring the empire’s dominance. Superior strength, near-immortality, flight, invulnerability, and advanced healing make Thragg the most formidable threat the series has yet faced.
What Thragg means for Mark Grayson and Earth
Season 3 saw Mark Grayson defeat Conquest, the second most powerful Viltrumite, signalling his choice to resist the empire rather than follow his father’s path. Thragg’s arrival elevates the stakes dramatically. Every conflict from this point will centre on Mark’s efforts to mount a credible defence against the Viltrumites, both on Earth and across the galaxy.
Series creator Robert Kirkman said at NYCC, “Thragg is a monumental addition to the show, who is going to change everything you think you know about the Invincible universe.” Lee Pace described Thragg as a patient but violent character, whose awareness of his power and strategic mind make him a uniquely formidable adversary.
Although Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season, Thragg’s debut marks the start of the series’ true endgame. Mark’s earlier battles were preparation; now the narrative expands to include a larger resistance against the Viltrumites, with Earth playing a central role. Fans can also expect greater involvement from characters such as Anissa and an epic showdown between Thragg and one of Earth’s other powerful metahumans, though specifics remain under wraps.
With Thragg now in play, the series gains momentum, and Mark faces his greatest challenge yet: defending his home and allies against the most dangerous Viltrumite of all.
