Arnold Schwarzenegger recently expressed his desire for a sequel to his iconic role in Conan the Barbarian, particularly a film titled King Conan. In an interview, he revealed his belief that with the right director and script, there could be a flourishing franchise centered around King Conan. Despite two unreleased King Conan scripts circulating throughout the years, studio hesitations and the complexities of rights ownership have stalled any real development. Schwarzenegger's passion for the project shines through, as he reminisces about the potential stories left to tell and acknowledges the long-standing delays in progressing the sequel. Fans remain divided on whether age may be a factor in his return.

Will Arnold Schwarzenegger reprise his role as King Conan?

As of now, there are no confirmed plans for Arnold Schwarzenegger to return as King Conan, mainly due to legal rights issues and the studio's uncertainty about the project. Despite various scripts existing, progress has stalled.

Conan the Barbarian, released in 1982, is a staple in the fantasy action genre and helped launch Schwarzenegger's Hollywood career. Based on Robert E. Howard's stories, the film introduced audiences to Conan's epic battles and quests. A sequel, Conan the Destroyer, was released in 1984 but failed to capture the same acclaim as its predecessor. Discussions about a potential King Conan film have circulated for years, but it remains one of Hollywood's lost projects, adding to Arnold's legacy while leaving fans yearning for more adventures in the Conan universe.
