What The Cast Of Game Of Thrones Did After The Show Ended

Khal Drogo is pretty easy to dislike in his earliest appearances as Daenerys' arranged husband. Despite earlier controversy, however, Drogo's character improves throughout Season 1, making his death a devastating moment for Dany and their fans. It could be argued that Jason Momoa's charisma aided Drogo's popularity, as Momoa assuaged the character's harsh edges, giving the arakh-welding Dothraki badass a secret soft side.

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss liked Momoa so much that they brought him back for a cameo in Season 2 when Daenerys briefly reunites with a spectral Drogo and their unborn son, Rhaego, in the House of the Undying. Afterward, he appeared in the Discovery Channel's "Frontier" as Declan Harp, as well as starring as Baba Voss in the Apple+ series "See."

In 2016, Momoa joined the DC Extended Universe as Arthur Curry aka Aquaman, making his debut in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." He returned for "Justice League" before starring in his first solo film, 2018's "Aquaman," alongside Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Willem Dafoe, and Nicole Kidman. Momoa later landed a role in the 2021 sci-fi film "Dune," based on the popular book series by Frank Herbert, as Duncan Idaho.
