Explore the latest developments concerning Arnold Schwarzenegger returns.
Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as Conan after 42 years, with new director at the helm
The comeback that kept stalling in boardrooms has found its footing at 20th Century Studios. King Conan pairs Christopher McQuarrie as writer-director with Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose barbarian is now a crown-worn veteran rather than a fresh brute. After gubernatorial detours and Universal’s 2017 pullout, the saga finally advances toward a chapter of lost thrones, dark magic and hulking creatures, likely powered by real blockbuster resources.
Some comebacks carry the weight of time and myth. This is the case with King Conan, where Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to the role that forged his big-screen legend. After 42 years, the blade is unsheathed again, and the armor fits differently. Indeed, the new chapter will be shaped by Christopher McQuarrie, a filmmaker with a taste for momentum and consequence.
After 39 Years, Arnold Schwarzenegger Needs to Return To the Predator Series
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the king of action movies. In the 80s and early 90s, no actor on Earth was more popular than the former Mr. Olympia. With his bulging muscles, he was larger than life, and so were the characters he played in movies like The Terminator and its sequels, Total Recall, True Lies, The Running Man, and the seriously underrated Last Action Hero. In a recent interview, the nearly 80-year-old Schwarzenegger revealed that he was in talks to return for sequels to Conan and Commando. However, the most intriguing bit of info was that the ex-governor of California is also in discussions with Dan Trachtenbergto come back as Dutch in a new Predator movie. If it happens, there is one perfect way to do it.
