Do me a favor: Take a second and name the first two guys you think should star in a buddy cop movie together. Did Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista pop into your head? Well, they should've been at the top of your list, because that's the only correct answer. According to Momoa, it's going to be a reality. The Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom actor teased the project in a new episode of Esquire's "Explain This," where he also shared some memories from working on the sets of Game of Thrones and Baywatch: Hawaii.

"Dave willed it," Momoa said about the upcoming film. "I pitched him an idea, and he gets on Instagram and calls up David Leitch." Leitch directed Deadpool 2 and Bullet Train. "The phone's ringing off the hook," Momoa continued. "We audition writers. Jonathan Tropper from See pitched us an amazing story and a continuation of what ours was, and we're making it right after Minecraft so I'm pretty excited. Me and Dave have a great time together. He's a wonderful actor. We're both very big guys but very sensitive big guys. So, I think it'll be fun and very silly."

Momoa also spoke a bit about his time on Game of Thrones, revealing that he used to steal props from the set. The actor said that his desk is adorned with the various body parts he rips out of people from the violent fantasy series, including the (fake!) throat that he tore out of one of his Dothraki lieutenants. "I came up with it," he joked. "So, it should be mine."
