Jason Momoa has beat out Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz and Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki to land the lead role in the forthcoming Conan the Barbarian remake.
The former Stargate: Atlantis actor — romantically-linked to ex-Cosby Kid Lisa Bonet — had been battling it out with the two hunks to take over the role that made Gov. Arnold famous in the 1982 original. According to Empire Online, producers settled on Momoa earlier this week. We hear Oscar-nominated star Mickey Rourke is in discussions to play Conan’s father, Corin.
