A false headline circulating on social media claims that actor Jason Momoa quit the upcoming Minecraft live-action movie and left the United States following the 2024 U.S. election.
The headline, shared widely on Facebook, reads: “‘I Can’t Stay Here’: Jason Momoa Quits Minecraft Live-Action Project Following Red Wave Controversy.”
However, there is no evidence to support these claims. Momoa has made no public statements about leaving the U.S. or exiting the Minecraft movie, which is currently in post-production and slated for release in 2025. The film’s social media accounts and Warner Bros. have not released any such announcements.
Momoa has continued to share posts about the project, including on Instagram as recently as November 19, 2024. The actor, who has previously expressed support for President Joe Biden, did not publicly endorse any candidate in the 2024 election.
This incident follows a pattern of misleading rumors that have targeted celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Beyoncé after the election, falsely claiming they were boycotting “red states” or political outcomes. There is no indication that Momoa has made any decisions to leave the U.S. or quit his movie role.
