Well, at least no one can say he doesn’t look the part, right?

Khal Drogo Might Play Drax The Destroyer In Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:01 pm, February 16th, 2013

Not there there’s a lack of muscle-bound dudes in Hollywood but it makes me very happy to think Game of Thrones’ Jason Momoa may land the role of Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Going To Play Conan The Barbarian Again

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:46 am, October 26th, 2012

Look, I’m just gonna say it. Someone needs to shoot Arnold Schwarzenegger with some elephant tranquilizers and give him an intervention. The 65-year-old actor is going to reprise his role as Conan the Barbarian in a new film. This is just…I have no words. No wait, I do. BY CROM!

My First Trip To Emerald City Comicon Or, That Time Khal Drogo Recognized Me

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:06 pm, April 4th, 2012

I was lucky enough to attend several comic conventions in 2011, the last being New York Comic Con back in October, which meant I was going through convention withdrawal. Big time. For various reasons I had to scale back on the trips this year so I decided my first convention of 2012 would have to be one I never attended. I decided to make the trip to Seattle, Washington for the 10th annual Emerald City Comicon. And now I’m here to tell you all about it.

The Women Of Conan The Barbarian, Better Than You Might Think

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:19 pm, November 18th, 2011

I’ll be honest, the only reason I was going to see the recent reboot of Conan the Barbarian was for its star Jason Momoa. Thanks to his time on HBO’s Game of Thrones, he’s now someone I follow (not in a creepy way). I wasn’t really a fan of the 1982 Conan and I had no illusions the film would be anything but a male-pandering, bloody escapade with lots of bared breasts. What I was surprised to find out was it was an excellent depiction of strong female characters. And lots of bared breasts.

NYCC Entertainment Guests Announced… Including Chad Michael Murray?

by Theresa Romano | 11:08 am, September 15th, 2011

With San Diego Comic Con well in the summer’s past, it’s the east coast’s turn to unleash its urban geeks. For most comic conventions, everyone anticipates which celebrities of nerd-dom will ultimately show up at one of these conventions to promote his or her new project. The New York City Comic Con is still a month away (Oct. 13-16), but some interesting and surprising guests have been announced (with more hopefuls to still be added to the guest list), including: Luke Skywalker himself Mark Hamill, Jay & Silent Bob (Kevin Smith/Jason Mewes), actor Jason Momoa from this summer’s Conan the Barbarian, director John Landis, actress Rose McGowan, actor Stephan Lang, actor Kevin Sorbo of Hercules, Lou “the one and only Hulk” Ferrigno and — if you thought it couldn’t get any more random — actor Chad Michael Murray(?)

Jason Momoa Would Like to Write Himself Into Game of Thrones Next Season

by Jamie Frevele | 3:59 pm, August 20th, 2011

So, Jason Momoa is coming off a really good streak of success in the business we call “show.” He is currently playing the lead in Conan the Barbarian, which is doing … well, it was released this weekend. And he also played one of the more popular and mysterious characters on HBO‘s Game of Thrones, Khal Drogo. If you don’t know what happens to him, suffice it to say that Khal Drogo is not set to appear in the second season. But Jason Momoa has some ideas about how he can appear, despite what George R. R. Martin has written in his books, on which each season of the show is based. Oh, Jason Momoa. (Game of Thrones Season 1 spoilers after the jump.)

Jason Momoa Will Write His Own Conan the Barbarian Sequel, Thankyouverymuch

by Jamie Frevele | 12:31 pm, August 8th, 2011

Is the pen mightier than the sword? Or just as mighty? Conan the Barbarian star Jason Momoa (also of HBO‘s Game of Thrones) apparently had such a good time playing the titular barbarian that there were more stories to tell in the already-planned sequel, so he’s taken it upon himself to write the screenplay himself. It has yet to be made official that his script will be accepted, but how much are they willing to mess with that guy who likes the fantasy genre because he gets to “rape beautiful women”?
