Aquaman star Jason Momoa says he met with Avengers: Infinity War directors Anthony and Joe Russo for a Marvel villain role, but that it didn't work out.

Speaking to EW, Momoa once again recapped his audition to play Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, saying that it was "super cool" but "didn't work out." Intriguingly, though, he also said that he had a great meeting with the Russos, who directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and next year's Avengers 4. While he didn't specify the character, Momoa said that he believed the Russos wanted him for a villain role:

What other superhero parts have you tried out for over the years?

I met the Russo brothers, who are amazing. It was one of the best meetings I’ve ever had. I was going to do something with them, which unfortunately didn’t work out.

Can you say what character it was?

I don’t know. It was going to be a villain, I think. People always want to hire me to play a villain, you know?
