First photo of Matilda Lutz as Red Sonja revealed

Millennium Media released the first photo of Matilda Lutz as Red Sonja in their upcoming film currently in production.

Matilda Lutz takes on Red Sonja role in new film

On October 11, Millennium Media introduced Matilda Lutz as Red Sonja, unveiling a photo of her in costume during production in Bulgaria. The film is directed by M.J. Bassett and features a script by Joey Soloway and Tasha Huo. Lutz plays the iconic character, a warrior originally created by Robert E. Howard. Filming is expected to continue in Greece later this month, but no release date has been announced. Previous attempts to revive this character on screen have faced numerous challenges, including changes in direction and production teams.

This latest incarnation of Red Sonja marks a significant moment in the ongoing efforts to revive classic characters for modern audiences. The involvement of Lutz, along with a new creative team, might capture the essence of the original while appealing to today's viewers. However, the history of delays and near-cancellations raises questions about the film's future and the challenges the team may face during production. Given the character's long history and past adaptations, audience reception will be closely watched.

How this film will resonate with fans remains to be seen.
