- GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Recently it was reported that Jason Momoa, who played Khal
Drogo in HBO's "Game of Thrones" and starred in Lionsgate's rebooted
Conan the Barbarian, would be playing Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the
Galaxy. However, that initial report seems to be false, somewhat.
According to "El Mayimbe," Momoa "flew out to
London to screen test on Wednesday" and that he was among a small group
that included Isiah Mustafa, Dave Bautista, and Brian Patrick who tested for
the role.

He continues, "According to sources, Momoa’s screen
test went so good that Marvel offered him the part and his reps have now
countered, so the negotiations are ongoing." This report was however
considered false as The Hollywood Reporter, reports that Momoa did test for the
role, but at this time there is NO offer.
I do hope that Momoa does get the role, his performance as
Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones is with out a doubt one of his best roles to
date. While many other films he starred in havent been that great, Momoa proves
that with the right character and good writing, he can go above and beyond
whats required.
Director James Gunn is currently a week into pre-production
in London, so we can probably expect more casting news in the coming weeks with
Guardians of the Galaxy planned for release on August 1, 2014.
