Jason Momoa seems very busy anyway. Seems to always have a new project in the pipeline.
I recall with Spartacus, Andy Whitfield was a complete unknown before he got the role on the show. He was really great on it. So, I'd be fine if they could find someone on a similar level to be the lead here.
Obviously, with Conan, he's this pulp hero. So you want him to have this larger than life persona and a physique to match. But I think you need to find an actor who can live that persona first and hopefully beef up to get that physique.
We'll see how it goes. I learned not to get my hopes up after Amazon Prime dropped the series.
Plus Netflix has a bad habit of cancelling shows after 1 or 2 seasons. Case in point, they cancelled Dark Crystal after it won an Emmy.
Pick it up and spend $200 million on two seasons, tons of awards and critical and acclaim, and then cancel it after announcing Season 3 and 20 spinoffs.I wonder if Netflix might also pick up the rights to The Dark Tower. That could be such an epic series in the right hands.
I would kind of dread a(nother) shot at Solomon Kane. The previous adaptation completely missed the point of the character, and I tend to assume a new one would do likewise. Sincere idealistic heroism, on the part of a devout Puritan? A central character arc premised on the conflict between Christian beliefs and a Lovecraftian world? So many opportunities to screw it up, again.
Doesn't that mean he would've sentenced the innocent victims of the Salem Witch Trials to death?
Put bluntly, no. He actually cared quite fervently about things like "truth".
I can't tell if you're joking or serious. Marvel should be kept as far away from Conan as possible. Really I am hoping Dark Horse gets the rights back to doing the comics.pitty, thatwe‘ll never see references to the MCU
And really my main problem with Marvel is that there is no reason what so ever for them to bring Conan into modern times. That's the real issue for me. There are so many stories you could do and tell without making him an Avenger. Their whole run since getting the comics back have just been lazy to me.Serious, but I see, where you‘re coming from.
