Lord, Jason Momoa is FINE. I can’t believe how long it’s been since we talked about Jason. As much as I would like to make him part of our permanent dong-watch rotation, the truth is that Jason usually isn’t up to much career-wise, and there really aren’t that many photos of him usually. But finally we have one interesting piece of news, so YAY.
First, some backstory: DC Entertainment made a huge gamble on Henry Cavill as Superman, and I’d say the gamble paid off – Man of Steel was a big hit, the studio made a lot of money and now Cavill is a movie star. So of course there will be a sequel, only this time DC is hedging their bets and throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the sequel – Ben Affleck is hilariously going to play Batman (UGH!), Gal Gadot was just confirmed as Wonder Woman, and now it’s looking like Jason Momoa might be cast as the villain. Or something. Whatever, JASON MOMOA!! HUZZAH.
Jason Momoa is in negotiations to join the cast of the untitled Batman-Superman movie being made by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
Zack Snyder is directing the Man of Steel follow-up, which is quickly turning into a who’s who of DC superheroes as Momoa joins Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman and Israeli supermodel and relative newcomer Gal Godot as Wonder Woman.
It’s unclear whom Momoa will play due to the Kryptonite lock on the project’s details. There’s been speculation that the movie’s villain could be Doomsday, a Kryptonian scientifically engineered into an intergalactic killing machine. Doomsday famously “killed” Superman in the comics, which became a media event in 1992. The character’s existence is even hinted in the extras of the Man of Steel Blu-ray.
However, a source speculated that if Warners is populating the movie with members of the Justice League, Momoa could also play the Martian Manhunter, a super-powered alien trapped on Earth. Momoa, with his muscular physique, could be a fit for either character.
Momoa played the barbarian leader Khal Drogo in the first season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, as well as Conan in 2011’s Conan the Barbarian. He’s got several indies in the works, including Wolves, a werewolf action movie written and directed by David Hayter. Warner Bros. had no comment.
“Intergalactic killing machine”… in my pants. If this is happening, I think it’s a great career move for Jason, who seems to have real issues finding a foothold in the industry. His part in Game of Thrones Season One should have been his launching pad into playing bigger roles in Hollywood – which he tried to do with the remake of Conan the Barbarian, only that bombed and Hollywood didn’t want to take a chance on him again as a leading man. Taking a “bad guy” or supporting part in a big comic-book franchise is a great way to reboot your career though, plus it just helps to be in a movie that everyone sees. I hope this happens for him. This might even make up for the Affleck nonsense.

Omg! This man is so hot!! I say yay just to keep him in the news!
I’d watch him just stand around for an hour, to be honest.
Lisa Bonet is a lucky biatch. Jason is fine but even he can’t save Batman v/s Superman. But now I might be heading to the theater to see it because of him. He’s not a bad actor, better than Cavill
He is a fine actor, way better than Cavill and Affleck… not that it’ d take much, I’ m afraid, but he was really good in Stargate and Game Of Thrones! I would like to see him in a dramatic or comedic role, not just characters that require his looks.
Momoa might be the only good reason to watch Batman vs Superman if he really gets the part! Oh, well…
Hands off, ladies, I had him first, when he just appeared on Stargate: Atlantis.
Oh he was soooooo hot in Stargate. Yummy.
Anna, I do not mind waiting in line for that. I wouldn’t mind having a MomoaCavill sundae with extra nuts, yes don’t forget the nuts
This was a much-needed palette cleanser after YET another Cumby post.
Momoa is so so sexy. Yum!
Amen, sister! Finally, a man who doesn’t look like he’d faint just pulling up his socks!
“This was a much-needed palette cleanser after YET another Cumby post.”
Hahahahahahahah! For some reason this just made me laugh out loud, really loud. It does seem like we get served with a heavy helping of Cumby everyday, moreso than Hiddles. What gives?
@Anna, sorry, I gots to have me some of that (bad grammar intentional) . I will arm wrestle you for it or we can just share, afterall it is the season of giving.
V4 –
well, he IS a big dude. There might be enough of him to…NEVER MIND *assumes position*
This is perfect: “Finally, a man who doesn’t look like he’d faint just pulling up his socks!”
LMAO!
I get that Kaiser has a crush on men who look anemic but please give the rest of us something to work with too! 🙂
Hey, Kitten, at least we do agree on men, huh?!! What a hotttt guy! More of this one than Crumby! PLEASE!
YUMMERS IS RIGHT!!!!
WORD.
+1,000,000 Briargirl 😉
I don’t know who doomsday is, but he would be perfect. For anything, anytime, anywhere. Momoora Momoa please.
I would want to see him cast not only for his beauty but personality. Imagine him on the press junket with Henry, Affleck and Amy. He’d be the most interesting one. Isn’t he 6’5 or something
He would have been perfect as that giant naked blue guy, Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen (so I could really see what he’s working with)!
Can he act?
I guess it doesn’t matter because Batman can’t.
Its not like Cavill or the hemsworth brothers are great actors so i think it will be fine! Just look at him!
He’s a solid actor. This might get me shanked, but I think he has more charisma than the Hemsworth brothers.
In Game of Thrones, Drogo was a bit of a one note character and all of his lines were delivered in a fictional language. I actually think he brought a lot of charisma and a small bit of depth to a role that could have been forgettable particularly when you have a cast as great as the Game of Thrones one. Plus he seems like a pretty cool guy, I wish him success!
Personally, I thought he was good in Game of Thrones but I don’t recall him speaking all that much. Maybe it was his hotness clouding my judgement.
@Eliza, LOL! “Dream Weaver” started playing every time he came on the screen?
Well his butt clouded mine. LOL!
“Solid” is the perfect way to describe his acting. Not amazing but definitely good.
Yes – if you haven’t seen season one of GoT, watch it. Plus, he’s funny.
He was really good in GoT. It was a solid performance, and while I didn’t care for some things with the Drogo storyline, it was because of the writers, NOT him. He was perfect. Good for him! First bit of casting for this movie I can get excited about!
Now this is a fine man, unlike those other three dismal choices we were given, Rinner, Cooper and whoever the third one was. Uh huh. yes indeed.
He doesn’t need to act.
He’s not a leading man, the remake of Conan the Barbarian proved that. He is good in small parts though.
I thought he was a good Conan but the script was horrible.
ugh I LOVE Jason. the scar across his eyebrow made him even sexier to me.
he seems to be more successful on tv rather than film (the game, stargate atlantis, game of thrones)
He is sex on legs, I get soooo jealous of Lisa Bonet every time I see pictures of this man. Now excuse me while I clean up the drool from my keyboard.
First Kravitz now Momoa?
Homegirl has game AND good
taste.
…not to mention the fact that she’s 46 years old and looks like she’s 30.
You aren’t the only one Lady, she knows how to pick them. SO HOT!
@ Lady:
I’ve built an alter to Lisa’s magical, golden vagina and you’re welcome to worship at it too. First Lenny Kravitz’s wife and baby momma and now Jason’s. Girlfriend’s got serious game!
Well he scares me even without make-up/the full get-up, so I can see that working out just fine.
Just want to see him on screen again. Not too much of a costume, please.
This man is best served raw.
Hell yeah! I love Jason, good for him for getting a big part like this.
Hurrah,good 4 him ,its been ages since we saw Khal ,hope his career gets a boost wwith this ,he can easily take all the attention away frm Ben here
I would normally avoid this movie, but if Jason were in it, my butt will be in a theatre seat on opening night. I sat through Conan for this man.
So did I! I even watched it again when it came out on cable, all for Jason. It’s kind of pathetic but I still can’t remember the plot.
““Intergalactic killing machine”… in my pants. ” hahaha oh I almost spilled my coffee reading that 😀 awesome
He doesn’t do it for me (creeeeeeepy), but I’m not into comic adaptions anyway, so whatever.
He would definitely make the difference between “wait for dvd” and seeing it in the theatre for me. YUM.
I have no problem with Mr. Bonet posts every week.
Yes. He is gorgeous! Lisa Bonet has a great taste in men-first Lenny Kravitz and now Jason Momoa. If he does get to be in this movie, it would make it a must see for me. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Khal Drogo in GoT, he was perfect.
He can “doom” my “day” anytime! Wait, that’s not sexy. Actually, that’s creepy, huh? Anyway, he’s hot.
The man candy in this new movie is going to be awesome. However, Zach Snyder is a terrible director, and ruined what could have been a resurgence in the Superman movie series. Yes, MOS made a lot of money, but it was a disaster of a movie. Why any studio gave him the helm of MOS, after that horrendous Watchmen movie, is beyond me! And I won’t blame Henry Cavill for being a bad Superman (he was awesome in The Tudors) because even Amy Adams, who I love, and I have never seen give a bad performance, was not very good. I blame the whole fiasco on the director. It seems that, Snyder cannot get a decent performance from his cast, and the script was laughable. When Costners character tells Clark he should have let the kids on the school bus die, or Costner in that tornado scene, lol, and what was up with Russell Crowe being in the movie more than anyone, even though (SPOILER ALERT) his character dies in the beginning. I laughed through half of the movie, because it was so stupid. On another note, if Jason Momoa is playing the villan, I may find myself cheering for the bad guy! He is yummy!
I know people have been shading Affleck but maybe he was cast to help with the directing and writing.
Warner could’ ve given Affleck the writing and the directing and cast someone else for the part! I wouldn’ t have minded one bit! In fact, I would prefer for Affleck to write and direct this movie by himself instead of Snyder (who is awful)! Said that, while I am more than happy to blame Snyder for it, I also think that Cavill was terrible! He might be good on The Tudors, but he is not a leading man! He has no charisma, no screen presence! I get that Superman is interesting because of his powers and ideals and not his personality, but Chris Evans plays a character who is equally uninteresting and who revolves around his powers and ideals and manages to do a better job! Not great, but decent, and it’ s not like he is that better in the acting department!
This movie will be an abomination. My vote is only Nay because he deserves better.
Hollywood needs to ban Snyder from any comic adaptation.
This!
He is so HOT!!! Yes please!
If he does, hopefully that will mean that he’ll randomly stop showing up at GoT events.
Whatevs! I’d like for him to show up randomly at ALL events, not just GoT. He’s stop-and-stare attractive in my opinion. He could break Cumby in half and leave Hiddles crying in the corner.
OH NO, NOT HIDDLES!!!!
This movie looks like an overstuffed, mess of a trainwreck. But I like Jason!
Honestly I like all the actors involved. It’s Snyder that really is the problem. If this franchise had a better director I think it would probably be pretty wonderful. It’s Snyder though.
I agree with you. People were so quick to blame the script or Henry, but the director has a huge part in shaping the movies…which is why it was so bland. Snyder can do visuals, and that is about it. I wish they would put this in the hands of someone like James Cameron, Ridley Scott, John Woo, Joe Carnahan, etc.
@ Lark
This! ‘Bland’ is the perfect world for that movie. I kept watching, waiting for something to ‘pull me in’ into the story, but nope, nothing happened. A very forgettable movie.
Right. There are too many superheroes for my liking, it’s not Superman sequel anymore…
Jason Momoa…? Hell, yes!
Jason Momoa!!! 😌 I am deeply in lust with this gorgeous man and his eyebrow scar. I really really want him to have a great career just so that we can have more photos of him 😉
Me too!!
I’d drink up this Momoasa every day of the week and twice on Sundays!
I’ve said this 4ever but Showtime or HBO or someone needs to make a series of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books and cast this fine man as Wrath. End of.
Oh, YEEEES!
This guy oozes sex I could see it because of him.
“Intergalactic killing machine”… in my pants.
LOL. You are so funny. What a great line. And I totally agree.
SEX ON LEGS!
He is so fine. I would go see this terrible movie for him.
He. Is. DELICIOUS.
As a comic fan, I’m so done with this movie. I haven’t seen Man of Steel nor will I watch it in the future. Snyder knew the sequel was going to flop and him just adding character after character proves it further. Batman while not happy with the casting would have been enough to draw viewers as Superman and Batman have a long history that deals with them working together as well as fighting. But now with the horrible miscast (again) of Wonder Woman and the rumor that Barry Allen (The Flash) is going to appear in the movie he’s just trying to stay above water. Doomsday doesn’t even fit in the timeline that was Superman’s origins. He needs to have Lex Luthor in the movie before all of the other Justice League members.
Stop competing with Marvel, you aren’t going to win Snyder. At all.
I’ve just pretty much gathered that DC hates live action movies of their characters. Why else would they have Snyder doing this movie as well as the Justice League movie?
mmmmm….ooooooo…..mmmm…ooooo…..aaaaaaaaaaa…yay, all the way!!!!
Sexiest man in Hollywood. Need more of him on this site please!
Holy hell moly OOF
Gosh he looks quite like James Franco in the first picture. I think it’s the facial expression.
There was an article in one of the trades a few months ago about The Walking Dead and how, despite being the biggest show on television, it actually isn’t translating into any movie work for the cast. They cross-referenced Game of Thrones in that article as having a similar phenomenon. They basically said that while movie stars can get TV work whenever they want, TV stars still have to hustle pretty hard to get a decent job in the movies. Food for thought.
Norman Reedus (Daryl) has done a few indies (the pawn shop chronicles with Paul Walker and Elijah Wood) and sun light jr (with Naomi Watts) and Michael Rooker (Merle) is doing Guardians of the Galaxy. Jon Berenthal was also recently in a movie with Leo DiCaprio. I think The Walking Dead Cast is doing ok.
Please let him be Martian the Manhunter!!! He has the height and the voice for one of my favorite DC characters. Even though he’d be in makeup and cover up the gorgeous man…it would be worth it to have Martian in the movie.
Yay for Jason. Dude is fine.
However, this movie sounds like a mess already!
Good for him. He could do with a career boost.
If he doesn’t get the part, could someone in Hollywood PLEASE cast a movie with Jason, Alexander Skarsgard and Michael Fassbender? They’re my fantasy trifecta of sex!
I wasn’t really bothered about seeing superman, the trailer for it was so depressing, but if Jason is in the next one I will watch it – a lot……
Yay! However, I wish he would be any hero so he could win and stay in all the movies *_*.
there are dolls who would slap his face, HARD…then SIT a warm
compress on his face to make it allll better. not ME oh ‘course…ohhhh, no. 😆 😛 😯
I like where you’re going with this! 😉
I’d climb that man like a tree! Loved him in Stargate & GoT, and I wish him well in this hot mess of a movie.
One: I’d do stuff to him..
Two: I have no interest in any Superman movie but I’d account for like a quarter of its revenue just to watch Jason Momoa.
In the word of Billy Madison, “sooooooo hottttt, want to touch the hiney, aroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
