Jason Momoa Stars in Unlikely Minecraft Reboot

Actor Jason Momoa brings humor to his role as Garrett Garrison, a 1989 “gamer of the year” struggling to adapt to adulthood, in the upcoming Minecraft movie. The film’s soft reboot takes cues from Jared Hess’s 2004 classic Napoleon Dynamite, with Momoa playing a character reminiscent of Uncle Rico. Co-star Sebastian Hansen’s character, Henry, hires Garrett to pretend to be his uncle at school, prompting an awkward yet amusing response from the aging gamer.
