December 9, 2013: Jason Momoa in Talks for Superman/Batman Role

Jason Momoa HollywoodReporter.com claims that Jason Momoa, best known for his role as Khal Drogo in HBO's "Game of Thrones" and the lead role in 2011's "Conan the Barbarian", is in talks with Warner Bros. to join the cast of the upcoming Superman/Batman movie.

    It's unclear whom Momoa will play due to the Kryptonite lock on the project's details. There's been speculation that the movie's villain could be Doomsday, a Kryptonian scientifically engineered into an intergalactic killing machine. Doomsday famously "killed" Superman in the comics, which became a media event in 1992. The character's existence is even hinted in the extras of the Man of Steel Blu-ray.

    However, a source speculated that if Warners is populating the movie with members of the Justice League, Momoa could also play the Martian Manhunter, a super-powered alien trapped on Earth. Momoa, with his muscular physique, could be a fit for either character.

Warner Bros. had no comment on the possible casting of Momoa for the film, which is set to be released in July 2015.
