There’s a film within the Jason Momoa cinematic oeuvre he considers to be a “large pile of shit.” No, not “Batman v Superman: Daybreak of Justice.” Or “Justice League.” That different one.
Talking with British GQ in an interview printed on Monday, the actor mirrored on a previous challenge that ended up being a serious disappointment, lengthy earlier than he commanded the seas as Aquaman.
That will be none apart from 2011′s “Conan the Barbarian,” a field workplace bomb that did the unthinkable: waste a baby-faced Momoa’s ample film star potential.
“I’ve been part of quite a lot of issues that basically sucked, and films the place it’s out of your fingers. ‘Conan’ was one in every of them,” Momoa stated of the movie, his first main position. “It’s top-of-the-line experiences I had and it [was] taken over and became an enormous pile of shit.”
The “Recreation of Thrones” alum, who has some expertise with the perils of studio interference, didn’t specify what occurred behind the scenes, however the movie’s director shed a bit extra gentle.
“As a filmmaker on this system you're a canine on many leashes,” Marcus Nispel advised Folks. “Making an attempt to get ‘Conan’ carried out below these circumstances was the worst expertise that I had and I used to be as sad with the end result,”
“I'm completely satisfied although that none of this bought in the way in which of Jason’s profession path … I at all times stood by the choice to make ‘Conan’ with him,” the director added, joking that he “paid” for “the muscle mass that Jason flexed for ‘Recreation of Thrones.’”
Earlier than “Conan” even hit theaters, Momoa revealed he was at work writing the sequel himself, however was ready on the studio to see if “they’ll settle for it.”
On the time, he stated the follow-up could be “character-adapted” and would “get into extra of the legendary creatures.” However, alas, “Conan” massively underperformed, and no sequel materialized.
However don’t really feel too dangerous for Momoa’s thwarted Barbarian goals, because the actor stated now he’s seeking to play in opposition to kind ― other than, after all, the upcoming DC sequel “Aquaman and the Misplaced Kingdom,” which might be launched subsequent yr.
“It’s been arduous as a result of individuals at all times assume I’m simply this dude who performs” macho characters, he advised GQ. “However I need to be moved, I would like one thing new. Issues are altering, and even the villain roles I’m taking part in now are eccentric.”
Apparently, he’ll just do that for the tenth “Quick and Livid” movie, during which he’ll play a villain whose “toenails are painted purple and pink,” in response to GQ. So quirky!
