Meet The New Conan

By

Arnold Schwarzenegger's incarnation of Conan the Barbarian cast a large shadow over the last 29 years, but Jason Momoa didn't hesitate stepping into those iconic sandals for Friday's 3D re-imagining. Partly because, at 6' 4", Momoa casts a large shadow of his own, but mostly because he was interested in rebooting a character he never felt was properly brought to cinematic life.

That was just one of the admissions Momoa made when he recently sat down with ETonline. In addition to revealing he pretty much had to become a stuntman to make this movie, the Game of Thrones star also hinted at a possible return for his dearly departed Drogo and put his more musical side on display!

Conan the Barbarian opens on Friday
