Latino Review just reported that Mixed Martial Arts superstar Bob Sapp will play the character Ukafa and joins the cast that includes Jason Momoa as the title character and Leo Howard.
The site also has a casting breakdown on the character as well, which you can read below.
Ukafa is in his 30s-40, very dark-skinned African or African American, massively framed at six-foot-five, gold-toothed, hardened by a lifetime of war, a leader of Kushite Tribemen from the savannahs of Kush. Ukafa is Khalar Singh’s second in command, jealous that Singh’s son, Fariq, will one day be warlord. He obeys his leader but plots the overthrow of his son. He is a mighty warrior and unbeatable in battle—until he comes face to face with Conan.
Production is slated to start next month in Bulgaria.
