Okay, I love Jason Momoa and all, but I feel he’s miscast as Dante in “Fast X”. I have no doubt he can play the villain role well, but I can’t buy him as the son of a Brazilian drug lord. One, he’s not actually Brazilian, or of Hispanic/Latino ancestry. Two, he doesn’t look related to Joaquin de Almeida, the actor who played Hernan Reyes. It’s the “John Cena is Vin Diesel’s brother” stuff all over again, in that the casting is leaning more on who is popular versus who fits the character the best.
Was Oscar Isaac not available to play Dante? Or Rodrigo Santoro? I could buy either of them playing as this character. Oh well.
