After last week's announcement that Gal Gadot had snatched the role of Wonder Woman comes the news that
Game of Thrones and
Conan actor Jason Momoa is now in talks with Warner Brothers over another main character that has not yet been revealed!
And why the hell not, with his fancy fighting skills and a physique that makes women both weak-willed and simultaneously intimidated? Momoa has been making an impression over recent years and certainly caught my attention with that ridiculous (as in crazy-awesome) axe fight with Sylvester Stallone in Walter Hill's
Bullet to the Head.

Zack Snyder's follow-up to
Man of Steel is start to look like a setup for the Justice League of America, rather than a Superman versus Batman clash of the titans. You'd be in the right mind if you suspected that DC and Warner Brothers are now vying to compete with Marvel when they're ready to release
Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015, because the developments for this film seem to be raising the bar very quickly.
Just who will Jason Momoa portray, if his appearance would be anything to go by? At 6'4" and built like a brick shithouse, Momoa has three inches' height on Cavill but not so much on Affleck, who is surprisingly over 6'3" tall, so it might be a bit silly to suspect he'd play Doomsday. However Doomsday is mentioned in the special features of
Man of Steel.

| "Dammit Momoa, you're just so prickly!" |
Other reports guessed that he could even play Martian Manhunter, but I just can't see him shaving his head and being painted green.
 |
| "Cavill, you pleb, my name's Jason!" |
Maybe, just maybe, he'd settle for a luchador mask!
 |
| "LOL at Affleck, IMDb said you were taller!" |
Sound off, Fanboys and Fangirls. What the hell is going on here? Something spectacularly awesome? Who do you see Momoa playing, hero or villain? Comments below and thanks for reading.
