The plan was for Legend of Conan to unfold as a continuation of Milus’ 1982 Conan film in story and spirit, while mostly ignoring the events of the less well-received Conan the Destroyer.
Despite years of Arnold Schwarzenegger teasing his return to the Conan the Barbarian franchise with The Legend of Conan, it appears that the project is dead in the water for now.
A few different writers have worked on The Legend of Conan at this stage, including Will Beall (who is co-writing Momoa’s Aquaman solo movie, as it were) and longtime Fast & Furious franchise writer, Chris Morgan.
The 1984 sequel Conan the Destroyer saw Schwarzenegger reprise his role as Conan, but a third installment failed to materialize and the Conan film series was eventually rebooted in 2011; with Aquaman/Khal Drogo himself, Jason Momoa playing the famous barbarian.
