Jason Momoa reacts to Zack Snyder\u2019s plan to revisit a cult classic. Momoa questions whether the cult classic even needs a remake while praising the original actor. Momoa admitted the idea has been floating around Hollywood for years, but he is unsure if touching the original is necessary at all.<\/p>\n
Jason Momoa on if he\u2019d be in Zack Snyder\u2019s Escape From New York remake<\/p>\n
When asked in a sit-down with Comic Book if Jason Momoa would ever consider taking on Snake Plissken in Zack Snyder\u2019s planned remake of Escape from New York, he didn\u2019t really bite. Momoa said the character has been floating around in development talks for years, but the original film already feels like its own complete thing. \u201cDo we need to remake it,\u201c Momoa said.<\/p>\n
Momoa also shared that he has a lot of respect for Kurt Russell, who originally played Snake. In fact, he said he likes Russell so much that he wouldn\u2019t want to step in and recreate that performance, even if the role sounds tempting on paper. \u201cI love Kurt Russell\u2026I would never want to step into that,\u201c Momoa said.<\/p>\n
The Supergirl actor also added that while he respects working with Zack Snyder, revisiting a character like Snake Plissken just comes with a lot of risk. Momoa said it\u2019s the kind of role that would make any actor feel both excited and a bit unsure at the same time. \u201c<\/p>\n
Momoa put it simply, saying \u201dIt\u2019s one of those things where you\u2019re like \u201doh my god\u201c I would love to do that but at the same time I\u2019m like (having a moment of doubt).\u201d At the end of the day, Momoa wished whoever takes it on the best of luck, calling Snake a \u201cgreat role\u201d that comes with massive expectations.<\/p>\n
The original Escape From New York (1981), directed by John Carpenter, follows Snake Plissken, a convicted criminal forced into a high-stakes mission. Kurt Russell plays the iconic lead role, and over time the film has grown into a loved cult classic. It\u2019s still widely appreciated for its gritty tone, and it continues to hold solid ratings, including around 7.1 on IMDb<\/a> and roughly 70% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> from critics.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Rishabh Shandilya on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Jason Momoa Questions Zack Snyder\u2019s New Movie: \u2018Do We Need To Remake It?\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jason Momoa reacts to Zack Snyder\u2019s plan to revisit a cult classic.
