When he first announced his return to acting following his stint as Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed plans to revisit three of his former glories with a new Terminator movie, the Twins sequel Triplets, and the long-awaited King Conan film.
The Terminator movie – Terminator: Genisys – materialized, and is now being rebooted with a sixth installment Terminator: Dark Fate set for release later this year, but unfortunately the other two projects seem to have found themselves stuck in the dreaded development hell.
The Conan sequel – which has went by a variety of titles over the years including King Conan: Crown of Iron, Conan the Conqueror and The Legend of Conan – did come close in recent years, with Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious) overseeing development on what he described as “Unforgiven… with a sword-wielding barbarbian”.
However, while Morgan revealed last year that his take on The Legend of Conan is no longer happening, it seems that Arnie hasn’t given up hope of getting to portray Conan the Cimmerian one more time; check out his social media post here:
Conan is back. I was so pumped to get this new special edition comic book. They’ll be available at the @ArnoldSports or you can get yours now.: https://t.co/s5DzorEITd pic.twitter.com/UXbC3ZOUj9
