'Aquaman' Star Jason Momoa Added To Wizard World Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. - Dec. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- Jason Momoa, who rocketed to superstardom in Justice League (2017) and Aquaman (in theaters now), will attend Wizard World Portland on Friday and Saturday, February 22-23, at the Oregon Convention Center. Momoa will greet fans, sign autographs and pose for photo ops.

Momoa had significant roles in the popular series "Baywatch" and "Stargate: Atlantas" before a turn as "Khal Drago" on the acclaimed "Game of Thrones" was followed by his first appearance as "Aquaman" in Batman vs. Superman Dawn of Justice in 2016. That led to a larger role as the undersea superhero in Justice League and star billing in this month's hit release.

Momoa's other credits include the title role in both Conan the Barbarian (2011) and Braven (2018) and opposite Bruce Willis and John Goodman in last year's Once Upon a Time in Venice.
