films, and Supernatural's 
Jared Padalecki. Padalecki would've been the worst choice humanly possible for anything involving brute force and feral savagery. Rumors are also swirling that Mickey Rourke has been offered a part playing Conan's father, a washed up wrestler who falls in love with a middle aged pole dancer. Hm? Oh, that's a different movie...
Ok, so maybe I'm jumping the gun and this Mamoa guy will help make this film a huge hit. I'd probably be complaining if the studio picked some recycled musclehead we've all seen before, so maybe there's something to be said for injecting some new blood into a high profile film like this. Only time will tell. Expect the news on Conan to start hitting fast and furious now that the one major casting hurdle has been crossed.
