Nope, he doesn't. I've been a Robert E Howard fan since I was young, and read all of the original Conan stories, so I'm a bit biased.

Jason was  perfect as Khal Drogo in Game Of Thrones, but certainly not Conan. Not muscular enough. And Conan wasn't half Hawaiian, lol.

Arnold wasn't perfect either. The physique was there of course, but not tall enough. Conan was described as "nearly a giant". At least 6'5. And Conan had black hair, not brown.

The guy who played Boagrius that Brad Pitt killed at the beginning of Troy would make a PERFECT Conan, if you gave him long black hair and no beard. Or even the guy that played Thor wouldn't be bad, if you gave him black hair and a tan.

Don't know who comes up with the casting for this shit, but they're not doing a very good job...



jason looks to clean cut for conan.  this was the guy i was also thinking about, just a PURE brute with a dark batman type story line.

Canon should have been something like Dagonet.  The ice fight was EPIC

I think that's Nathan Jones - an Australian guy. I remember he got his arm broken in WSM.

This is THE best movie quote ever! (plus: I'll be back)

Ralph Moeller was a surprisingly good Conan in the Conan the Adventurer series.



Btw, in REH's lore Conan was described as being big but not the biggest, there were mentions of much bigger creatures/giants, however no other character was described as stronger, more agile, dexterous or skilled with sword.

While the new movie looks decent, Momoa is still not a good choice for Conan.

Jason Mamoa is already the number one representative of bodybuilding.

That said, let's not forget swartznegers role.

Ralf Moeller (YES) looks like a true Conan.

Maybe a little old...(he must be around 50īs.

You Be The Judge!

  Jason Momoa played Ronon Dex in SGA(Stargate Atlantis), who was essentially a Conan in space who instead of fighting other barbarians fights life-sucking monsters called the Wraith. The role of thug seems to be what he was born to play.
