🔥 Red Sonja (2025) – The Sword-Slinging Hero Returns to Slay Evil

Prepare for blood, blades, and a barbarian like no other. “Red Sonja”, the fierce flame-haired warrior of comic book legend, returns to the big screen in an all-new sword and sorcery epic, hitting theaters August 15, 2025. Directed by M.J. Bassett and starring Matilda Lutz in the titular role, this long-awaited adaptation promises brutal battles, magical mayhem, and the rise of a warrior who refuses to be broken.

⚔️ The Legend Reforged

Based on the iconic Marvel Comics/Dynamite Entertainment character — who herself was inspired by the works of Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan the Barbarian — Red Sonja is no damsel in distress. She’s a survivor. A savage. A symbol of vengeance and justice wrapped in chainmail and fury.

In this reimagining by screenwriter Tasha Huo, the story follows Red Sonja, a huntress and enslaved warrior from a tribe nearly wiped out by the forces of a cruel despot. When evil once again threatens her people, Sonja must put aside her past and rise as a leader, uniting a misfit band of fighters to face down the bloodthirsty tyrant Draygan the Magnificent and his dark sorceress bride, Annisia.
