I never liked Xuxenegger as Conan, what other actor could we pump full of steroids to make him a better Conan the Barbarian?
Actors from any era.

Charlie would be the perfick pick for the more dour Conan stories

>>212449806 (OP)
Idris Elba

>>212449898
Genghis Khan?

>>212449898
he was like three feet tall, they'd have had to use a lot of camera tricks to make up for that

>>212449806 (OP)
>a better Conan the Barbarian
not possible.
Arnold was the perfect brute that took the role seriously. Look at how fucking horrible Mamoa was. blegh.
Half of Conan the B was the dynamic pairing of
> Sandra Bergman
> Sven-Ole Thorsen
> Ben Davidson
not to mention including
> Max VonSydow
> Jimmy Earl Jones

NO ONE could do this double-lat flex scene besides Ahnahld

Correct, there has not been another actor that could have portrayed that role.

Does anyone read Robert E Howard's stories?
Which stories and what directors and casting would choose for a contemporary version.

yeah, and it wasn't just Arnold. It was a cast of behemoth BODY BUILDERS. Those stories aren't as magnificent when cast with aerobics instructors

Neil Breen

Mikkelsen or Liam Nesson with roída.

>>212449806 (OP)
2000s Littyman

Zahler or Gibson
starring an unknown 30 year old rugby player

Conan from the books is quite different. And the idea of bodybuiler-swordfighter is quite ridiculous, not to mention that there were no steroids in pseudo-ancient times. The Rambo 2 physique is really pretty OK for Conan.

>>212451321
Tower of the Elephant is the perfect one to start with.
>young Conan, so you can have an up and coming actor with the trademark panther like physique, without people wondering why he looks so shrimpy compared to Arnold
>showcases his full set of talents from thievery to brawling
>demonstrates his barbarian standards of ethics
>has a good sword and sorcery balance of fantasy elements

>>212452349
Very well told, it is also a story that can go on for several minutes.
And what would be the casting?
>>212452326
Stallone could be an option

>>212449806 (OP)
>I never liked Xuxenegger as Conan
This should be autoban.

>>212451321
I listen to the hour of the dragon every night to sleep to.

don't care, Harry Potter
LIFT MORE

Not with that Italian face and brown eyes. Arnold is good from the facial perspective though. It also possible to pick some modern blue-eyed Marvel and DC actors.

>>212449806 (OP)

Crom laughs at your lack of taste.

>>212453311
Which Marvel actors?
I've been thinking about it but I think I'd only tolerate Chris Pine from Star Trek...with a lot of juice.
And Kurt Russell

>>212453592
Hemsworth, for example. Cavill from Man of Steel-era. Taylor-Johnson after pumping.

>>212453592
Alexander Skarsgård from Tarzan era (though even in The Northman he looked good).
