Dangerous Duo released its first official trailer this Saturday (10). Prime Video showcased the never-before-seen scenes of the new action-comedy film that promises to be one of the strong releases of January 2026. Starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, the film follows two estranged half-brothers who are forced to reunite after the mysterious death of their father. The problem is, due to this reunion, they are now hunted by the Japanese yakuza, which triggers a series of explosive confrontations and breathtaking chases. Scheduled to premiere on January 28th, the production arrives to offer a dose of adrenaline and laughs right at the start of the year.
As the trailer shows, the dynamic between the characters promises to be one of the project’s great strengths. While Momoa brings a wilder and more unpredictable side, Bautista appears with a methodical and controlled intensity. The preview makes it clear that the clash of personalities will yield moments of physical humor amidst many fights, chaotic shootouts, and high-speed chase scenes on the roads of Hawaii. The direction is by Ángel Manuel Soto, the same filmmaker behind “Blue Beetle,” which guarantees a good visual experience for fans of the genre.
The Strong Cast and the Protagonists’ Chemistry
In addition to the main duo, the cast of “Dangerous Duo” features heavyweight names that promise to further elevate the production’s quality. The list includes Claes Bang, the villain from “The Northman,” and Temuera Morrison, who previously worked with Momoa in “Aquaman.” Jacob Batalon, Peter Parker’s friend in the Spider-Man films, and Morena Baccarin from “Deadpool” also make an appearance. In a recent interview, director Ángel Manuel Soto highlighted how the real chemistry between the actors translates on screen. “They couldn’t be more different from each other,” Soto stated, “and what you see in the film isn’t that different from how they are in real life.”
Thus, Prime Video’s bet for this early 2026 seems spot-on. The combination of global stars, a classic action-comedy premise, and a paradisiacal setting like Hawaii has all the ingredients to please a broad audience. The screenplay, written by Jonathan Tropper of “The Adam Project,” seeks to balance brawls and jokes in an intelligent way. Therefore, if you’re looking for fun and thrilling entertainment to watch at the end of January, this dangerous duo seems like a great choice for a couch marathon.
