    After quite a tough competition between three muscular hunks for the honor of being the next ‘Conan The Barbarian,’ the role finally went to Jason Momoa. The losers are ‘Twilight’’s Kellan Lutz and ‘Supernatural’’s Jared Padalecki.

    Apparently a secret source at Lionsgate says that not only is Momoa the most experienced actor out of the three, but his test was much better than his fellow beefcakes. Now Mickey Rourke has been approached to play Conan’s father, Corin, but the ‘’ has yet to reply to that offer. We wonder what the Governator has to say on this matter, since he was the original 80’s Conan.

    Do you think ‘Conan’ producers have made a good casting choice? Let your voices be heard!

    overall is he a good actor?
     
    he looks like he is in the needs of steroids for the conan role.

    cant even say. he has close to zero experiance nor credentials. 
    only things he really has is sex appeal and he's very available for the role.

    true that. but he does have awhile to get there, and all the time in the world to dedicate himself to body building (and ICOPRO)

    @BiteMe-Fanboy: 
    not to be negative though, just calling it like it is.
    like i said the good thing is he can dedicate himself 150%,
    and has alot of time. he's not doing squat otherwise, and this
    will easily be the highest paying gig of his career. look at
    Hugh Jackman and Arnold. it was the same deal with them.
    ...maybe. personally outside of that i think he's kind of a crappy choice.

    Wow, if this is true, I'm kinda let down. He doesn't seem to be quite right, but like EXE pointed out, at the very least, he can be dedicated to it.
     
    Well, Jake Gyllenhal (sp?) put on a bunch of muscle for Prince of Persia.......maybe Mr. Momoa here will be able to pull it off.
     
    Also, I can't believe that I never heard that Jared Padelecki was in the running to play Conan. I would've had a heart-attack for numerous reasons had that come to pass.

    I think you all are judging by the cover if he had the best screen test then he is the best choice give the guy a chance.  And he can gain size easily if that is what the company wants.

    I've already posted this forum and no. I don't think this guy would be a good conan. Why didn't they use Jeffery Dean Morgan? He's bulked up and he fits the role. But this dude up there. He doesn't stand a chance. Jason needs to bulk up a little. Or how about Gerard Butler. He just needs to lose the beard and grow a lot of hair. 'Nuff said bastitches.
