A ‘Conan the Barbarian’ Show Is Coming to Amazon But Which Actor Should Play Him?

Maybe one of these will be the perfect fit?

Brock Lesnar

One of the biggest pro-wrestling stars is a dark horse inclusion as he didn’t try his hands at traditional acting still, while it’s rumored he will have a role in the upcoming Creed II. The 40-year-old wrestler is very well spoken, battle proven in the UFC, and if Bautista can make the jump to Hollywood acting, so could Lesnar, especially for a role of a brute with hidden wit.

Henry Cavill

Who? Henry Cavill the GQ model with the perfect cheekbones? No, the murderous savage that we see for a bit in Man of Steel. That Henry Cavill. The 6′ 1″ English actor looks terrifying in those brief shots and he already has experience with a sword due to Immortals (2011).

Jason Momoa

The man who would definitely be the first pick on everyone’s lips only if he didn’t already play Conan in the 2011 huge disappointment Conan the Barbarian made for a whopping $90,000,000. He looks the part more than any other actor from the list, and we could see him pulling out a Ryan Reynolds, and delivering justice to a role he was born to play.

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson

We absolutely had to include more than one name from the huge cast of the best fantasy show ever Game of Thrones. The Mountain, or Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, is another logical choice, standing at 6′ 9″ and being a professional in the strongman competitions. Possibly the only man on this list that should cut weight to look more like Conan the Barbarian.
