Red Sonja (2025 film)

Red Sonja (2025 film) is an upcoming American fantasy sword and sorcery film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith and inspired by Robert E. Howard's characters. The film is intended to be a reboot of the 1985 film of the same name, and is being directed by M.J. Bassett. Matilda Lutz is set to star as Red Sonja.

Production has faced several delays and changes in personnel. Initially announced in 2008, the project went through multiple writers, directors, and actresses attached before settling on the current iteration. Past development efforts involved directors such as Robert Rodriguez and Simon West, and actresses such as Rose McGowan and Amber Heard were considered for the lead role at various stages.

Plot details are currently scarce, but the film is expected to follow the general story arc of Red Sonja, a fierce warrior who seeks vengeance for the destruction of her family and the assault on her by a mercenary army. She typically operates in the Hyborian Age setting established by Robert E. Howard, often crossing paths with Conan the Barbarian, though the extent of Conan's involvement (if any) in this particular adaptation remains unconfirmed.

The film is being produced by Millennium Media. The release date is currently set for 2025.
