Arnold Schwarzenegger has confirmed something that many of us have been waiting for: a new movie is in production. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, director of the last four Mission: Impossible films, he has confirmed two very important details. The first is that he will star in it himself. The second is that if he will star in it, it is because it will be based on King Conan.

Everyone’s Favorite Barbarian

King Conan is a collection of five stories written by Robert E. Howard that describes the tales of Conan as king of Aquilonia. Aging, but wiser, it presents us with a familiar yet different Conan. Something we already saw in the popular 55-issue series from Marvel Comics, published between 1980 and 1989, King Conan, which would be renamed as Conan the King starting from issue 20.

Schwarzenegger, in comments to The Hollywood Reporter, has stated that this is a dream come true for him. “For the last 10 years, I’ve been saying: ‘We should make King Conan, get a great script written, find someone who really understands Robert E. Howard, who understands the art of Frank Frazetta, and continue the story’”. He also emphasized that his inspiration for the movie is a most unexpected author: “Think of Clint Eastwood’s movie, Unforgiven. It will be very similar to that, but with extraordinary battles”.

Although the movie won’t start filming until 2027, which means we won’t see its release until at least 2028 or 2029, it’s interesting to see the return of Conan the Barbarian. Especially since it’s Schwarzenegger returning to the role. And if he is capable of making a movie like Unforgiven, a true cult classic in Eastwood’s filmography and cinema in general, we could be talking about a genuine masterpiece.
