It’s the biggest scares for Arnold Schwarzenegger as he gets ready to play a dream role. I reported that Arnold Schwarzenegger has forced himself into a grueling workout now that he has signed up for the Conan the Barbarian follow-up.
For those who don’t know, the 78-year-old Hollywood actor and former governor of California played the role of Conan the Barbarian in the 1982 American sword-and-sorcery film directed by John Milius.
Radaronline reported that Conan the Barbarian follow-up, King Conan, is already in the works. Christopher McQuarrie, known for his direction Mission impossible franchise, will direct the film.
The film was about “a mighty warrior who sets out to avenge the genocide of his people and the murder of his parents by a snake cult,” according to the synopsis.
An insider told the outlet that to star in the action film, Schwarzenegger hit the gym to get in shape because the role requires extreme physical strength.
The source said: “The new Conan the Barbarian movie is no joke, and things are moving quickly after several months of behind-the-scenes planning. Arnold is still pretty robust, especially for someone his age, and he’s had a return to the role of Conan in mind since leaving politics.”
Now his dream of reviving his role is finally coming true as things have ‘taken a leap forward’. Also: “He’s not afraid of action scenes, and he’s not afraid to take off his shirt!”
“What he’s afraid of is making a sub-par sequel. He’s already hitting the gym with renewed effort and pushing himself to the limit,” the insider said.
Schwarzenegger is determined to show off his “real physique as much as possible,” despite knowing that “special effects will be used to make up the difference.”
“Either way, he will look incredibly impressive and imposing in this film. Much of this has been in the works for a long time, but now Arnold has the full support and power of 20th Century Studios behind him,” the source concluded.
