The Wrecking Crew 2026: Jason Momoa & Dave Bautista Team Up in Explosive Action-Comedy

Amazon MGM Studios is kicking off 2026 with a high-octane streaming exclusive: The Wrecking Crew, premiering on Prime Video January 28, 2026. Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto (Blue Beetle, Charm City Kings) and written by Jonathan Tropper, the film reunites action heavyweights Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista as estranged half-brothers forced together after their father's mysterious death. What starts as a family mystery spirals into a full-blown conspiracy involving buried secrets, loyalties tested, and plenty of "wrecking" along the way—set against the stunning backdrop of Hawaii.The official trailer (dropped January 8, 2026) teases classic buddy-cop vibes with a modern twist: Momoa as the laid-back, impulsive Jonny clashes with Bautista's more disciplined James in explosive set pieces—car chases, hand-to-hand brawls, practical stunts, and explosive practical effects. One memorable line: Bautista's exasperated "You blew up my car!" captures the film's tone—equal parts high-stakes action, sibling rivalry, and laugh-out-loud banter. The brothers uncover a threat that could tear their family apart, but together they're "ready to wreck anything that gets in their way."Filming took place in Hawaii and New Zealand starting October 2024, with production emphasizing location authenticity and cultural respect (local casting includes Hawaiian talents like Temuera Morrison and Frankie Adams). Bobby Krlic (The Crow remake) scores the film, building on his work with Soto.Full Cast & RolesJason Momoa as Jonny: The wild-card half-brother, bringing physicality and charm.
