<h2>A long-awaited reboot</h2>
<p>The upcoming film is the second live-action adaptation of the Red Sonja comics. The first, released in 1985 and starring Brigitte Nielsen, was both a critical and commercial failure but later gained cult status.</p>
<p>Since 2008, multiple attempts at a reboot have been made, with directors such as Robert Rodriguez, Simon West, and Bryan Singer attached at various points. However, the project only moved forward in 2022 after a script by Tasha Huo was completed and M. J. Bassett was brought on as director.</p>
