The Dark Side is calling… and Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista are more than ready to answer.
In a revelation that has sent Star Wars fans into overdrive, the two Hollywood heavyweights have openly admitted they’re itching to play villains in a future Star Wars project. And no — they’re not being subtle about it.
“Dune Wasn’t Enough” — And They Meant It
Both Momoa and Bautista, already veterans of epic sci-fi thanks to Dune, joked that wandering Arrakis simply didn’t satisfy their appetite for galactic chaos. According to their own words, they’re ready to jump into a galaxy far, far away — not as heroes, but as full-on bad guys.
That comment alone ignited instant speculation:
-
Sith Lords with brute force and menace?
-
Warlords ruling the Outer Rim?
-
Dark Side enforcers with zero redemption arcs?
Fans are already imagining lightsabers trembling.
Why This Casting Idea Feels Dangerous (In a Good Way)
Jason Momoa’s raw charisma and unpredictable energy, paired with Dave Bautista’s intimidating physical presence and surprisingly deep emotional range, is a combination fans describe as “terrifying in the best possible way.”
Online discussions have exploded with takes like:
“Star Wars villains have been missing true physical menace — these two would fix that instantly.”
“Give Bautista a Sith role and let Momoa be chaos incarnate.”
The idea of two dominant, fan-favorite actors willingly embracing villainy feels like exactly the kind of shake-up the franchise needs.
Perfect Timing for a Darker Star Wars Era
With Star Wars increasingly exploring morally gray characters, ancient evils, and post-Skywalker power struggles, the timing couldn’t be better. Fans believe Momoa and Bautista wouldn’t just play villains — they’d redefine what Star Wars villains look like in this new era.
Not tragic.
Not misunderstood.
Just powerful, dangerous, and unforgettable.
The Question Everyone Is Asking
Lucasfilm hasn’t commented — and that silence is only fueling the fire.
Are Momoa and Bautista secretly in talks?
Could they headline a standalone villain-focused story?
Or are fans about to manifest the most intimidating Star Wars antagonists ever?
One thing is certain:
If Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista step into Star Wars as villains, the Dark Side won’t just be tempting — it’ll be unstoppable.
