Jason Momoa has revealed that he turned down the chance to star in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Momoa auditioned for the role of Drax in the James Gunn directed marvel film, but admits he felt the role was not for him.
Speaking to Zap 2 It, the actor said: "It didn't really fit in my time because I've done so many things where I don't say much and I'm coloured up and I have my shirt off again.
"I made a conscious choice to turn down some movies that were action-based to direct Road to Paloma so people could see that side.
"I want my children to see their father happy. It's not that it's not a good role, it just wasn't the right thing."
Dave Bautista will star as Drax in the highly anticipated film, alongside Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel.
We last saw Momoa on the big screen in Bullet to the Head, but he will be back this year with Debug, Road to Paloma and Wolves.
Guardians of the Galaxy is released 1st August.
