Jason Momoa, known for his role as Aquaman, will play the lead in Warner Bros.’ Frosty the Snowman live-action film.

The titular character comes from the popular Christmas song written by Walter Rollins and Steve Nelson, and first recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys.

Momoa will also produce with Geoff Johns, Greg Silverman, and Jon Berg. David Berenbaum (Elf) is writing the script.

“From his role as a count in a land of ice and fire to the oceanic success we all had with Aquaman, it felt only right to realize Jason this time in snow,” said Berg, an executive producer on Aquaman.

“We know Jason’s a true human being filled with love, compassion and a deep connection to ohana … all of which is the living spirit of Xmas and Frosty,” Silverman said.

You can catch Momoa in his next project, Warner Bros. sci-fi Dune.
