Did Jason Momoa do his own stunts in Conan the Barbarian?
Jason Momoa enrolled in an intense six-week training program at a stunt and martial arts academy in Los Angeles for his part while still finalizing negotiations for the film.

In between, Momoa starred in the romantic thriller "The Bad Batch" (2016), thriller "Sugar Mountain" (2016) and action comedy "Once Upon a Time in Venice" (2017), as well as starring in historical drama "Frontier" (Netflix 2016-).
Momoa is best known for his long hair and muscled physique. His most popular roles were as the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo in the television series Game of Thrones (2011–19) and as the title character in Aquaman (2018).

In May 2022, it was announced by Heroic Signatures CEO Fred Malmberg that Marvel had chosen not to renew its Conan the Barbarian publishing rights with Conan Properties International, Malmberg saying, "We had a wonderful run with Marvel Comics but ultimately they have decided not to extend their license beyond this ...
Arnold Schwarzenegger's character originally was intended to be a reprisal of Conan, star of the comic book in which Red Sonja first appeared, but the film did not have the rights to this name.
