Jason Momoa has become a familiar face around Oklahoma City this October, as he films the crime thriller "Copperhead" in and around the metro. Local outlets News9 and coverage carried by Yahoo Entertainment describe the actor being spotted in stores, bars and other public spots across Oklahoma City, Mustang and Edmond, with residents gathering to watch filming and share sightings on social media.
A downtown shoot and a museum visit
On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, production shut down parts of Robert S. Kerr Avenue and North Broadway Avenue in downtown Oklahoma City for filming outside the Skirvin Hotel, according to a Yahoo Entertainment report on resident reactions. A small crowd gathered across the street to watch, and the crew later moved to the Lake Overholser area to continue shooting the same day.
Two days later, on Thursday, October 22, Momoa and his family toured the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City, along with the museum's 39 Restaurant and its FAMstore gift shop, News9 reported. The museum, which presents the history and culture of Oklahoma's 39 tribal nations, said in a statement cited by News9 that it welcomed the visit and framed it as an opportunity to introduce visitors to the state's Indigenous cultures. During the stop, the family viewed artwork and exhibits on Indigenous history and culture.
Why Momoa is in Oklahoma
Momoa is in the state to film "Copperhead," a crime thriller directed by Tulsa native John Swab, whose previous credits include "Body Brokers," "Little Dixie" and "One Day as a Lion," according to Yahoo Entertainment. The film, written by Chad Feehan and J. Todd Scott, follows a veteran detective who joins forces with a young federal agent to unravel a conspiracy after an undercover drug deal turns violent in West Texas.
The ensemble cast also includes Miles Teller, Tenoch Huerta, Adria Arjona and Kiefer Sutherland. Production, financed by Black Label Media alongside Teller's Lime Tree Productions and Swab's Milk Boy, carries a reported budget of $39.7 million and began filming in September 2026, with shooting scheduled to continue through November 6, Yahoo Entertainment reported.
An economic boost for the metro
The production qualified for state and Oklahoma City film incentives; the OKC Economic Development Trust approved a rebate of up to $1 million for the project, which was code-named "Project Snake," according to Yahoo Entertainment. The same report cited estimates that the shoot will generate about $13.7 million in local spending and an overall community impact of roughly $33.5 million, through hotel stays, restaurant visits and payroll for local crew and extras.
