'The Crow' may fly again with Jason Momoa in talks for lead role
Jason Momoa, the Game of Thrones alum who plays Aquaman in the upcoming DC comics films, is in talks to star in The Crow, Relativity’s reboot of the 1994 cult classic starring Brandon Lee, Mashable has exclusively learned.
Corin Hardy (The Hallow)
is set to direct The Crow, which is based on the beloved graphic novel by James O’Barr.
Alex Proyas directed the original, which tragically served as Lee’s final film following an accidental shooting on set.
Momoa
posted a photo of himself with Hardy several days ago on Instagram with the hashtags #sealthedeal, #greatnewstocome and #dreamjob. The Crow is the only movie that Hardy is known to be currently casting.
Original producer Ed Pressman is among the producers of the Crow reboot, which is expected to beat Aquaman to theaters. Momoa’s DC superhero was recently introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and will have a larger role in Justice League before his standalone film in 2018.
