Momoa might leave Atlantis

Jason Momoa is looking ahead to life after Stargate Atlantis. The actor, who plays the Satedan warrior Ronon Dex on the series, told SciFi Wire last week that he has about one more season in him.

The actor joined the cast of Stargate Atlantis in Season Two, replacing original cast member Rainbow Sun Francks (“Aiden Ford”).

“[I] wouldn’t say I’m sick of [Ronon] yet,” Momoa said. “But one more [season], and I’ll probably be good. I’m 28 now. I’ll be 30. … It’s just time to move on, and I’ll want to play something else.”

By “one more season” Momoa probably means Season Six of Atlantis, since filming on the fifth season is nearly halfway complete. He also refers to being 30 years old, in another couple of years.

Whether or not this means that Momoa would not finish out the series, of course, remains to be seen. A sixth season pick-up probably will not be announced until this fall, let alone a seventh, post-Ronon year.

Season Five of Stargate Atlantis is in production in Vancouver, British Columbia for a July premiere on SCI FI Channel in the United States. Read the original story now at SciFi Wire, and learn more about the season to come in GateWorld’s episode guide.
