Fast X is racing to the theaters as it arrives this Friday on the big screen and things are shaking up as newcomers to the franchise are joining the fiasco, the biggest of all is the scene stealer villain, Jason Momoa.

Jason Momoa plays Dante Reyes in Fast X, the son of the drug kingpin that Dom and his team took down in Fast Five, and he has a plan that would literally bring the family to their core.

Riding out a lavender car and a lavish sense of style, Jason Momoa rains on everyone's parade in Fast X and he is the kind of villain that you'll love to hate because you'll love him.

In an interview with ScreenRant, Jason Momoa revealed what makes Dante Reyes a villain to be scared of, "Someone who's just had everything taken from them, he just wanted to hurt him in the worst way and take away that legacy of his."

Momoa added, "You sit in your imagination and you come from a crime family. My father was taken from me and then everything was taken from me. So not only that, but all our money."

Momoa explained. why Dante chose Dom's son as his revenge, "He was left to defend for himself in Brazil. He just spent a good part of his life just obsessing about Dom and having that revenge. Obviously, it's his child and break his family apart."

Momoa shared enjoying playing the villain in Fast X, "I feel like if you studied someone that much, you actually want to be them, and you love them, and you want to wear their skin and become that."

"You just kind of play it that way and you can emotionally, anything can come out. It can be funny, it can be sexy, it can be scary, but at the root of it, I'm going to wear your skin," Momoa said.
