King Conan - What's Going On With Conan's Sequel? Explained
Before Super Heroes were a trend, historical warriors were the forefront of action and adventure
and one such anti-hero was Conan the Barbarian. Under the direction of John Frederick Millus and story by both Milius and Oliver Stone, Conan the Barbarian is a sword and sorcery classic from the early 1980s.
The movie released in the year 1982, based on Robert E. Howard’s original characterization. As for the story, Conan is a young barbarian warrior, a role played by the ever-popular Arnold
Schwarzenegger, who wants to take revenge for his parent's death, who were killed by the hands of an evil tyrant of a snake clan named Thulsa Doom, played by actor James Earl Jones.
Following Conan the Barbarian, there was a sequel that released two years later during 1984 with Arnold playing the pivotal role once again, and the film was titled Conan the Destroyer.
This time, Conan and his best friend, a thief named Malak whose character is portrayed by actor
Tracey Walter, run into a treacherous queen named Taramis, ruler of Shadizr, played by actress
Sarah Douglas.
From there the story continues as Conan embarks on a journey to escort the queen’s niece, Princess Jehnna, played by Olivia d’Abo, for which he’s promised by the queen to resurrect his long lost love, Valeria.
The Conan franchise had a successful start with the first movie as it was a massive hit! But the sequel wasn't well-received by the critics or the fans! This made the producers a bit more cautious about launching the next sequel because by then, there were tons of Conan Knock-offs in the market trying to imitate the success of the original movie.
There have been many attempts to produce Conan sequel! At least, at the moment, the third movie in the Conan Franchise has a working title, and it’s called KING CONAN. In this video, we are going to give you every major update on the upcoming Conan Sequel – let’s begin!
