WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE: A rep for Momoa has responded to a report that Momoa has purchased a 100-year-old General Motors building in Detroit and intends to open a brewery there.

DETROIT, MI -- An actor who played a role in HBO's hit show "Game of Thrones" reportedly has a business interest in Metro Detroit that involves beer.

And he's also rumored to play Aquaman in either a solo movie about the superhero or the Zack Snyder directed "Batman v Superman" film being shot in the area and other parts of Michigan.

Jason Momoa, who played Khal Drogo in "Game of Thrones," told Willamette Week (out of Portland, Ore.) in a story posted on its website he recently purchased a 100-year-old former General Motors building in Detroit and intends to devote about 9,000 square feet of it to his own brewery.

No more details about Momoa's investment were mentioned in a story posted on Willamette Week's website, but it does mention that he also is working with Dearborn based outfitter Carhartt and Holland, Mich. based New Holland Brewery.

Attempts Tuesday night by MLive.com to reach Momoa's publicist, management and representatives were unsuccessful.

An excerpt from the Willamette Week story posted Sept. 3:

His production company, Pride of Gypsies, also produced the commercial for a collaboration beer between Carhartt and New Holland Brewing that will be tapped this fall called The Woodsman.

An American pale ale aged in whiskey barrels and called the Carhartt Woodsman in celebration of Carhartt's 125th anniversary, it will be served on a road trip from Detroit to Denver in time for the Great American Beer Festival this October.

Rumors have swirled for months that Momoa will play Aquaman in Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" film that's been filming in Detroit and other parts of Michigan for several months.

The film is slated for a March 25, 2016 release and stars Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman.
