Scenes saw Jason hold his arms up in the air before getting down on his knees to shoot fake bullets into the distance.

Johnny Depp, who purchased the film rights Nick Tosches novel in 2008, has opted out of featuring in the movie.

Instead, Julian has decided to make the film adaptation starring Oscar Isaac in place of Johnny.

The film follows the story of a priest who has discovered the rarest and most valuable art object ever found.

As well as Jason’s role in the film, he is set to co-star with Dave Bautista in an upcoming comedy action movie, with the same director as Blue Beetle.

Angel Manuel Soto is leading the production for The Wrecking Crew, with deals for the two actors agreed prior to the acting union strikes and the script written before the writers’ strikes.

The writer and actors’ strikes began in June and July respectively.

Plot details about the new comedy are being kept quiet, but it is expected to be a ‘buddy action comedy’.

This comes almost two years after Bautista tweeted that the pair should star in a ‘buddy cop’ movie together.

The Guardians Of The Galaxy star said: ‘Just going to throw this out into the atmosphere and see what happens. Here we go…

‘Me and Momoa in a Lethal Weapon type buddy cop movie directed by David Leitch. Ok! There it is. Now we wait.’

The two met while working together on sci-fi action series See, and also starred alongside one another in Dune in 2021.

Momoa later shared his co-star’s sentiment, speaking on The Late Late Show With James Corden.

He said: ‘We love each other, you know, obviously we met on See, we’re on Dune together, so I said “absolutely.”

‘It sells itself. Dave loves wearing speedos. I love wearing board shorts. Both of us with our shirts off. Buddy cop film. He’ll be grumpy, I’ll be charming. Boom. It sells itself.’
