- Hollywood has repeatedly attempted to revive Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer, both from the early 1980s, with multiple failed reboots including the 2011 Jason Momoa reboot by Lionsgate.
- 20th Century Studios has King Conan in early development with Christopher McQuarrie attached to write and direct, while Schwarzenegger said there's a script for Commando 2 and talks with Dan Trachtenberg about Predator.
- Set up at 20th Century Studios, the King Conan project signals major-studio backing as Schwarzenegger notes studios have money and a new Conan could revive the sword-and-sandals fantasy genre.
