Confirmed here. Excerpt:

This could’ve easily been an inside joke for the audience, but Brave Rock told io9 on Twitter that Chief is, in fact, Napi. And even though director Patty Jenkins gave Brave Rock a lot of creative freedom with the character, Chief’s introduction wasn’t improvised. Brave Rock said his reveal as Napi was a bonafide part of the script.

So he could show up in a later movie and give someone some powder that would allow them to grow into a giant. Being a trickster demigod that is a completely plausible thing that could happen.
