Jason Momoa wants to play Kratos from God of War, and cast members are spotted around Belfast
By Corey Smith
Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) was only on Game of Thrones for one season, but he made it count. With his charisma and physique, he’s found success playing roles like Conan in Conan the Barbarian, and Aquaman in Warner Bros.’ series of DC films, with his own solo adventure coming out this year.
At the moment, people are focused on another muscled warrior: Kratos the demigod from Sony’s God of War videogames, the most recent of which has just been released to rave reviews. With interest so high, multiple outlets have dug up an old interview Momoa gave soon after his appearance in Game of Thrones season 1. Would Momoa be interested in playing Kratos? “Hell yeah!”
Practically, this means nothing, but it would be a great fit. Momoa can yell and grunt and punch things with the best of them, and that’s what Kratos does best:
Moving on, have you ever wanted to go on an Icelandic adventure with Ser Bronn of the Blackwater? And if you didn’t, don’t you know? If so, now’s your chance, as actor Jerome Flynn explains:

So for a donation of only $10, you stand a chance to go whale-watching with Bronn. And for a payment of only $25,000 per month, you can rent out Emilia Clarke’s $5 million Venice Beach mansion, as the Daily Mail reports. They’re the same thing!
Finally, let’s check in with a couple of cast members closer to the season 8 set. First, a fan snapped a picture of Kit Harington (Jon Snow) in the rear-view mirror of his car as the Game of Thrones heavyweight is driven around Belfast. This fan was taking no chances:

Unsurprisingly, Harington isn’t the only cast member in Belfast, the primary filming hub for the show. If we want to know where Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) is, no clandestine car photo is necessary:

The work continues.
