    Well it seems like the allure of a big box office wasn’t enough to lure Khal Drogo to the Marvel Universe.

    Jason Momoa has turned down the role of Drax the Destroyer in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Reports are that the Marvel offer to the actor was quite low, but that has been the story with a lot of actors in Marvel movies (see: Terrence Howard).

    I understand the move by Momoa wanting more money, but let’s face it, sometimes you should bite the bullet to get the exposure. Conan and Bullet to the Head didn’t exactly burn up the box office and seeing as how Khal Drogo was a one season affair in Game of Thrones, being in a Marvel flick would have been serious exposure.

    Marvel will now go back to their previous list of actors for the role that included Dave Bautista, Isaiah Mustafa and Brian Patrick Wade.

  • Game Of Thrones POP! Figures Are Coming. Tyrion Actual Size.

    Chances are if you have walked into any Barnes & Noble then you have seen the sections upon sections of Funko’s POP! figures. Ranging anywhere from Batman to the flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz these figures bring the cute to any pop culture item.

    Now it’s time for these little toys to try their hand at blood, betrayal and incest. November will see the release of the first wave of Game of Thrones figures including Khal Drogo, Daenerys, Ned Stark, Tyrion Lannister, The Hound and a White Walker.

    For me, the Khal Drogo, Ned and Tyrion are instabuys but who am I kidding I will eventually be getting them all. Now if I could request that the Jaime figure come with his shaven head, beard and gold hand. Sorry for the spoiler. Read the books if you don’t want to be angry.
