During his appearance at 2018 San Diego Comic Con, Jason Momoa revealed he had an offer to portray a Marvel villain in a Russo Brothers (Anthony and Joe Russo) movie.

“I met the Russo brothers, who are amazing,” Momoa said. “It was one of the best meetings I’ve ever had. I was going to do something with them, which unfortunately didn’t work out… I don’t know [what character it was for]. It was going to be a villain, I think. People always want to hire me to play a villain, you know?”

The 38-year-old Aquaman star didn’t reveal the details about the movie or the exact character from the comics he would play. However, Momoa did discuss the reasons for why he turned down the opportunity to play Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy.

“I think it’s perfectly cast,” he said. “Dave [Bautista] is perfect for that role, for Drax. It didn’t really fit in my time because I’ve done so many things where I don’t say much and I’m colored up and I have my shirt off again. I made a conscious choice to turn down some movies that were action-based to direct Road to Paloma so people could see that side.”

Luckily for DC fans, Jason Momoa decided to stick with DC and is now bringing us a highly anticipated Aquaman stand-alone movie on December 21st, 2018.

According to Deadline, Momoa and Hardy’s departure is caused by financial issues and creative differences the duo had with producer Samuel Hadida, whose company Davis Films owns the rights for the movie and was financing the project. The filming for The Crow remake was to take place in Budapest in the next five weeks with October 11th, 2019 being set as an official release date.

Following his exit from the project, Jason Momoa shared a statement on his Instagram profile, explaining his decision.

“I’ve waited 8 years to play this dream role,” wrote Momoa. “I love you @corinhardy and @sonypictures unfortunately I may have to wait for 8 more. Not our team. But I swear I will. James O’Barr sorry to let you down I won’t on the next. This film needs to be set free. And to the fans. Sorry. I can’t play anything but what this film deserves and it needs love. I’m ready when it’s right. Love u Corin aloha j”

The Crow graphic novel, created by James O’Barr, was previously adapted into a 1994 movie of the same name, which starred Brandon Lee. The talks about the remake started in 2008, with multiple actors being rumored to be frontrunners for the lead role over the years including Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, Channing Tatum and Ryan Gosling. The project moved forward finally in March 2016, with Corin Hardy being attached as a director with Jason Momoa being cast as the lead later that year.
