Jason Momoa cast as new 'Conan'

Conan the Barbarian is finally cast! As Mike Fleming reported on Deadline, Jason Momoa will play the lead character in Marcus Nispel's Nu Image/Millennium Films remake of John Milius' 1982 action fantasy.

The race came down to Momoa and Kellan Lutz, but Momoa impressed everyone involved in the casting process. The new "Conan" has been in development for a while, but it hit a few bumps along the way.
