NY Post says Arnold is pushing hard for King Conan

The Post reports that Arnold Schwarzenegger, at 78 years old, is training intensely for the upcoming King Conan movie, a project he’s talked about for a long time.

According to the report, which cites a story from The National Enquirer, the part requires Arnold Schwarzenegger to appear as a powerful, classic warrior or king. He’s reportedly working hard to get back in shape for the movie’s continuation.

This aligns with what Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed at the Arnold Classic. He mentioned the upcoming Conan movie will be written to reflect his current age, rather than trying to make him appear younger.

The story follows an aging Conan, now king, who’s become too comfortable with his life. He’s forced from power and then reluctantly drawn back into a world of brutal fighting, powerful magic, and dangerous beasts.

King Conan details

Arnold Schwarzenegger recently shared that the studio has brought on the writer and director of Tom Cruise’s recent films to work on the next Conan movie, strongly suggesting Christopher McQuarrie will be taking the helm.

Schwarzenegger talked about a film packed with craziness, action, fantasy, monsters, and the large-scale visual effects we see in movies today.

We don’t have many details about the story yet, but fans believe Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Joseph Baena, might be playing the role of Conan’s son in the film.
