MTV Splash Page: Jason Momoa Calls 'Conan The Barbarian' A 'Revenge Story' - "It kind of is an origin story," he explained. "It's rebuilding and rebooting the franchise…It starts with his birth, what happened to his family, what happened to his father-obviously his father is killed-and him going into the pirating and the thieving and wandering and being the degenerate that he is and then usurping a throne and finding out who killed his father. It's a revenge story, with a little bit a love in there."
