‘The Crow’ Reboot Enlists Jason Momoa as Its Leading Man — Report
As the stars look down in witness, it appears as though Relativity Media’s reboot of “The Crow” has found its leading man: Jason Momoa, he of “Game of Thrones” and “Aquaman” fame. Mashable is reporting that the actor is in talks to star as Eric Draven in the long-in-the-works project, while his own Instagram appears to confirm it (below).
Alex Proyas’ 1994 original is a cult classic that also serves as a memorial for its star, the gone-too-soon Brandon Lee, who was killed during production when a gun used in a scene fired a defective blank. Conspiracy theories have arisen regarding the incident, not least because controversy also surrounds the death of the actor’s father, martial-arts icon Bruce Lee.

With the news of Momoa’s potential casting come several other things to ponder: When will the film begin shooting? Who else will appear alongside the former Khal Drogo? These are questions for wise men with skinny arms.
