Exclusive: Leo Howard Cast As Young Conan! El Mayimbe here...

Remember the kid who was bad ass as Young Snake Eyes in the flashback scenes of G.I.JOE?

12 year old actor Leo Howard.

Well I just found out he is playing Young Conan in the Lionsgate "Conan" reboot that Marcus Nispel is directing.

It's a pretty meaty part and the audience's first introduction to Conan for the first 15 minutes or so.

Jason Momoa plays the adult Conan the rest of the film.

With pre-production well under way in Bulgaria, expect to hear more casting announcements soon as production is slated to start next month.

Also seen recently in Robert Rodriguez's "SHORTS," the athletic Howard is racking up quite the resume and looks like he is well on his way to becoming the next Taylor Lautner.

Keep up the good work kid!

Hasta el proximo capitulo...
