With The Legend Of Conan, Universal Pictures decided to bypass the 1984 sequel Conan The Destroyer, while also ignoring Jason Momoa’s attempt 2011 reboot, which was also entitled Conan The Barbarian.
While it is heartbreaking to hear The Legend Of Conan is no more, it’s actually hardly a surprise.
It has been close to five years since Universal Pictures originally announced in October of 2012 that the studio had plans for Arnold Schwarzenegger to return in the role of Conan.
This was a much simpler time for Hollywood, when a studio would sometimes still rush to develop a new version of an intellectual property or franchise it had at its disposal, and then simply expected audiences to go and watch in droves.
