It’s been over forty years since Arnold Schwarzenegger last played Conan the Barbarian, but the actor is gearing up for King Conan, the long-awaited sequel. There have been numerous attempts to get this project off the ground, but it seems to be moving forward this time; in fact, it’s been revealed that production will begin next year.

King Conan

While speaking with TheArnoldFans, Conan Properties International‘s Fredrik Malmberg said, “I can confirm we have a deal between CPI, Arnold, and [20th Century Studios]. Next year we are going to do King Conan. So that is a reality now, and I am excited about it.“

Christopher McQuarrie (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning) is set to write and direct King Conan. As for Arnold, he’s pumped to return to one of his most iconic roles, and teased that the new film will have similarities to Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven.

The Man with the Bag

Schwarzenegger’s last major movie role was seven years ago with Terminator: Dark Fate, but he’ll be returning at the end of the year as none other than Santa Claus. He’s starring alongside Alan Ritchson (Reacher) in The Man with the Bag from director Adam Shankman (Disenchanted). The Christmas action-comedy revolves around the theft of Santa’s magic bag. After it is stolen, St. Nick (Schwarzenegger) turns to his naughty list to find Vance (Ritchson), a thief, to help him get it back. Along with his daughter, Santa and a group of misfits, Vance will have to pull off the greatest heist of his life to save Christmas. The film will be released on Prime Video on December 2.
