Valkyrae, a well-known streamer, was invited by Jason Momoa to fly out to New Zealand for a cameo in the upcoming A Minecraft Movie. The gig seemed like a no-brainer – a quick 30-second appearance. But things took a turn when she arrived on set.
Behind the scenes, Valkyrae witnessed a strained work environment, which she attributed to Jason Momoa’s behavior. He allegedly treated some crew members poorly and had a short fuse, often getting angry when things didn’t go as planned. “I saw him being really mean to some of the crew members,” Valkyrae recalled. “I was shocked and disappointed.”
The final straw came when Valkyrae saw Momoa losing his temper during filming. She decided that she didn’t want to be a part of the project anymore, even if it meant giving up her 30 seconds of screen time. “I would much rather not have that 30 seconds than be sued,” she said in a livestream.
It’s unclear who made the call to cut Valkyrae from the movie, but she’s adamant that her removal had nothing to do with the Minecraft team or the filmmakers. For now, Valkyrae is focused on her own well-being and seems relieved to be out of the project. As she put it, “I’d rather not have that 30 seconds than deal with the drama.”
A look back at the movie’s success
Despite the drama behind the scenes, A Minecraft Movie has been a commercial success, raking in over $301 million worldwide in its opening weekend. The movie’s success is a testament to the enduring popularity of the Minecraft franchise, which has become a cultural phenomenon.
What’s next for Valkyrae?
Valkyrae has been open about her experiences on social media, using her platform to speak out about the importance of maintaining a positive work environment. Her fans have rallied around her, praising her for standing up for herself and prioritizing her well-being. As for what’s next, Valkyrae seems focused on her streaming career and has hinted at upcoming projects that she’s excited about. One thing’s for sure – she won’t be looking back on her experience with A Minecraft Movie fondly.
