A Minecraft Movie won’t be hitting theaters until next year, but one of the film’s stars is now being accused of mistreating the crew on set. Video game streamer Rachell Marie Hofstetter–who is better known as Valkyrae–has shared her account of Aquaman‘s Jason Momoa yelling at crew members while she filmed her small role in A Minecraft Movie.
During a recent appearance on JasonTheWeen’s streaming show, Valkyrae was asked about her worst celebrity encounter. In response, she recounted her experience watching Momoa berate the crew of A Minecraft Movie when she was on the set for her cameo appearance.
“I just saw [Momoa] mistreat some of the crew, and it was pretty disappointing,” recalled Valkyrae. “It was after a very intense scene, and it was a very emotional scene, so maybe he was still in character. I don’t know. But, I just was kind of surprised by how he treated some of the crew. He was just really mad at them, that they weren’t doing something right… He was just angry… and yelling. So, I was like, ‘Man, this is not a good work environment. I would not be happy working under these conditions.'”
This isn’t the first time that Momoa has been accused of misbehaving on a film set. Aquaman and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom co-star Amber Heard related that Momoa came to the set dressed as her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, and tried to get her fired from the DC franchise. Heard had a noticeably smaller role in the sequel, although neither performer is likely to return now that DC Studios is rebooting the entire cinematic universe in the near future.
A Minecraft Movie will be released on April 4, 2025.
