Overview
- Conan Properties International president Fredrik Malmberg confirmed Tuesday a deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger and 20th Century Studios that sets production for 2027.
- Christopher McQuarrie, known for recent Mission: Impossible films, is attached to write and direct the legacy sequel.
- Schwarzenegger says the new film treats Conan as a weary ruler after decades on the throne, comparing the tone to Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven.
- Casting beyond Schwarzenegger, the target rating, and detailed story elements remain unannounced as the project moves through pre-production.
- After years of stalled efforts and a 2011 reboot that failed to catch on, the 2027 start points to a likely 2028–2029 release if the timeline stays on track.
