It was just a few months ago that Jason Momoa was announced as the headline star of the upcoming Helldivers film, but it seems that plans have changed. A Deadline report, later confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, says Momoa is now out.

The reason for Momoa's departure isn't currently known, although both sites confirmed that the project is still moving ahead, with Fast & Furious director Justin Lin at the helm. Still, the loss of Momoa is a big blow: To me he'll always be Ronon Dex, the hunka hunka burning Satedan renegade and sad-eyed wife guy of Stargate Atlantis, but in the years since then he's become one of the biggest big-screen draws in the business.
