Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to bring back fantasy action after more than 40 years and already has the perfect idea for it

Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to bring back fantasy action after more
Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has played many legendary roles in his career that still lend themselves to big returns decades later. The barbarian warrior Conan from Conan the Barbarian and its sequel Conan the Destroyer is such a case. Schwarzenegger is only too happy to do so slip back into the skin of the fantasy hero in the planned The Legend of Conan. But there is an obstacle. Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger wants fantasy return the Clint Eastwood way

The Legend of Conan is said to have been coming for many years and will feature the title character as an old man. Schwarzenegger told the Hollywood Reporter, why nothing has happened with the film so far.

The film has been in limbo for 10 years. The rights belong [dem Produzenten] Fredrik Malmberg. Then he tells me, ‘I have a Netflix deal.’ And when we ask Netflix, they don’t know anything. It’s crazy. I hope he finds a solution.

Officially, Netflix has been planning a Conan series for about 2 years, which should completely relaunch the franchise. Schwarzenegger, on the other hand, has completely different plans for his film sequel. He wanted to make age an issue as in Clint Eastwood’s western swan song Unforgiven, like the star. There is a script and willing candidates for the post of director. But as long as Malmberg does not give up the rights, the project will be stuck.

It would be the first time Schwarzenegger has returned to the barbarian role since 1984’s Conan the Destroyer. Another of his iconic franchises the actor has now turned his back: He never wants to appear again in the legendary sci-fi series Terminator.
