Legendary action movie star–and former California governator–Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed that he’s in talks to reprise several of his signature roles for new Conan the Barbarian, Predator, and Commando movies.
“They did an additional Predator, and the director [Dan Trachtenberg] has been doing a great job of that. Now, he wants me to be in the next Predator. We’ve talked about it,” Schwarzenegger said at this year’s Arnold Sports Festival (via Variety). “As a matter of fact, Fox Studios has kind of rediscovered Arnold. They’ve come to me and said, ‘We want you to do Predator, we just got a script for you to do Commando 2.'”
Schwarzenegger also commented on the long-in-development King Conan, which will be helmed by Christopher McQuarrie, the director behind the last four Mission Impossible movies. “It’s a great story where Conan was 40 years king [as] king and he gets complacent, and now he gets forced out of the kingdom, slowly,” Schwarzenegger said (via THR). Then there’s conflict, of course, and then he somehow comes back, and then there’s all kinds of madness and violence and magic and creatures.”
