Netflix recently revealed the first lead casting for its anticipated The Witcher: Blood Origin prequel spinoff series, as Jodie Turner-Smith will play an elite warrior named Eile. The casting brought up renewed interest in Jason Momoa, who had previously been rumored to be in talks with Netflix to play a lead role in the series last year. Things have been quiet on that front as of late, though Momoa’s film schedule (titled Slumberland) might indicate he is no longer going to be a part of the series, as another project is scheduled to begin before Blood Origin starts production in April and overlaps quite a bit with it.
Jason Momoa update: He is currently scheduled to film a movie called ‘Slumberland’ from February to June, so it appears he couldn’t take the part he was in talks for ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin’ since it’s scheduled to start production in April.
