10 Famous Actors Who Are Skipping Movies In 2019

3. Jason Momoa

Justice League Jason Momoa Aquaman
Warner Bros. Pictures

Once the hugely-anticipated Aquaman hits cinemas this Christmas, star Jason Momoa won't be seen on our screens for a good long while.

He doesn't currently have any big-screen work slated for 2019, and in fact, he doesn't have any other movie projects in the works that have a firm release date. Besides Aquaman, the only upcoming film he's attached to is Just Cause - based on the video game series - which has not been dated yet. Realistically, that could be a 2020 release, but at this stage, we've no idea.

Things could have been different though. Momoa was once attached to star in a remake of The Crow, which would have opened in 2019, but he exited the project earlier this year. Additionally, a sequel to Justice League was once slated for late 2019, but with the mixed reception to the first film (and the messy nature of the DC Film Universe as a whole) the project quietly fell off Warner Bros' schedule.

On the plus side, if Aquaman is a hit, Momoa will surely get a sequel - though that won't arrive till late 2020 at the earliest.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
