Michael Bisping, the former UFC middleweight champ, is set to make waves in the movie world again as he takes on the role of ‘Hawk’ in the highly anticipated Red Sonja remake, partnering with Matilda Lutz. This fresh film puts a new spin on the iconic sword-and-sorcery tale based on the classic Marvel character.
The original Red Sonja movie dropped way back in 1985 and featured a young Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen. Despite its cheesy effects and not-so-great plot, it still holds a fun nostalgia factor for many fans of the genre.
Here’s a sneak peek at the new film:
Honestly, I prefer tangible practical effects to all that CGI nonsense—there’s just something magical about it!
As the story goes, Red Sonja faces a dire situation: she’s enslaved by an evil tyrant intent on wiping out her people. To battle back, she heroically bands together with a diverse group of warriors to take on Dragan The Magnificent and his fearsome partner, Dark Annisia. It’s set to be quite the adventure!
Mark your calendars—the new Red Sonja is set for release on August 15, 2025, and it’ll be competing right against the action-packed sequel Nobody 2.
