Arnold Schwarzenegger Reportedly Set to Star as “Conan the Barbarian” Again

(Universal)

Arnold Schwarzenegger will reportedly reprise his role as Conan the Barbarian on the big screen.

The former Governor of California’s revived movie career will include a starring turn as the warrior king in The Legend of Conan, currently being targeted for 2014, according to Deadline.

It would feature Schwarzenegger in the mythic role that launched him to superstardom in the early 1980s.

The new project would continue the story from the original Conan the Barbarian, skipping Schwarzenegger’s sequel Conan the Destroyer and the 2011 reboot starring Jason Momoa.

“The original ended with Arnold on the throne as a seasoned warrior, and this is the take of the film we will make,” producer Fredrik Malmberg tells the site.

He explains, “It’s that Nordic Viking mythic guy who has played the role of king, warrior, soldier and mercenary, and who has bedded more women than anyone, nearing the last cycle of his life. He knows he’ll be going to Valhalla, and wants to go out with a good battle.”

And it sounds like Schwarzenegger is ready for the challenge.

“I always loved the Conan character and I’m honored to be asked to step into the role once again,” he’s quoted as saying.

    NNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!! Is he freaking serious….? No one wants to see his old cheating ass in a Conan movie. That ship has left Arnold. Jason Momoa is the new Conan now so hang it up. I’ll see Jason in another Conan movie but not Arnold. I can’t stand you anymore. Sit down some where.

    Why not Conan? With fight choreography advancing like it has, and him training in swordsmanship (which he’d have to for the role), it’d be fantastic to finally see King Conan. Any REAL fan of Conan knows it’s not all about the muscles.

    for me what made the conan movies great were the scale of the sets, all of the movie sets in the 80′s and 90′s were epic compared to todays. i hope they do this film correctly
