Filming of "King Conan" with Arnold Schwarzenegger to Start in 2027
The 78-year-old actor is preparing to return to the role that launched his Hollywood career.
Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed in an interview with TheArnoldFans that filming for "King Conan" will begin in 2027.
"Next year we are going to shoot a King Conan movie. So that is a reality, and I am excited. For the last ten years, I have been saying, 'We need to do a King Conan movie, write a great script, find someone who understands Robert E. Howard and Frank Frazetta's work, and get on with it.' I want John Milius, the director of the first Conan movie, to possibly be a producer. It will be fantastic."
Schwarzenegger is not worried about his age. On the contrary, the 78-year-old actor considers it suitable for the story that "King Conan" will tell. The film is positioned as a sequel to 1982's "Conan the Barbarian" and will focus on an aging hero who has been on the throne for 40 years and faces challengers who see his age as a weakness. Schwarzenegger himself describes the project as Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" with "incredible battles."
Christopher McQuarrie, screenwriter and director of the "Mission: Impossible" film series, as well as "Jack Reacher" and "Top Gun: Maverick," will direct.
