Aquamanstar Jason Momoa allege he encounter withAvengers : Infinity Wardirectors Anthony and Joe Russo for a Marvel scoundrel role , but that it did n’t go out . The role player is in attendance atSan Diego Comic - Con 2018this week , promote the coming liberation of James Wan’sAquamansolo movie .
Momoa first rose to fame in TV shows likeBaywatch , Stargate : Atlantis , andGame of Thrones , and it seemed inevitable that sooner or by and by he would down a major leading motion picture function .

verbalise toEW , Momoa once again recapped hisaudition to play DraxinGuardians of the Galaxy , saying that it was " super cool " but " did n’t work out . " Intriguingly , though , he says that he had a great meeting with the Russos , who also directedCaptain America : The Winter Soldier , Captain America : Civil War , and next year’sAvengers 4 . While he did n’t specify the character , Momoa enunciate that he believed the Russos wanted him for a villain function :
What other superhero parts have you tried out for over the year ?
I met the Russo comrade , who are awing . It was one of the best meeting I ’ve ever had . I was going to do something with them , which unfortunately did n’t lick out .
Can you say what character it was ?
I do n’t know . It was going to be a villain , I think . People always want to lease me to dally a scoundrel , you jazz ?
It ’s not the first time that Momoa has bemoan being typecast as brutish , mostly non - verbal characters who punch first and ask questions later . His fiber inStargate : AtlantisandGame of Thronesboth accommodate that general theatrical role , and his frustration at being unable to find other roles led him to spell and lead his own independent picture show , Road to Paloma , in which he played a Native American man who function on the run after retaliate his female parent ’s murder . In a 2014 interview withZap2It , Momoa explain that his determination to act unlike variety of characters was the grounds he turn down the function of Drax inGuardians of the Galaxy :
" I think it ’s perfectly cast . Dave [ Bautista ] is utter for that role , for Drax . It did n’t really fit in my time because I ’ve done so many thing where I do n’t say much and I ’m colored up and I have my shirt off again . I made a witting selection to turn down some movies that were action - found to aim Road to Paloma so people could see that side . "
Of naturally , Momoa is colored up andhas his shirt off again inAquaman , but Arthur Curry is a considerably more complex character than , say , Khal Drogo . It ’s unmanageable to venture which Marvel villain role he was up for ; depend on when the meeting took place , it could have been for a reference like Brock Rumlow / Crossbones inThe Winter Soldier , or even a baddie that did n’t end up being featured . One name that immediately comes to mind is Spider - Man villain Kraven the Hunter - but then again , perhaps we ’re guilty of typecast too !
