Rhona Mitra joins Red Sonja as Oliver Trevena exits the film

Rhona Mitra has been cast in Millennium Media’s comic book film Red Sonja, replacing Oliver Trevena who left due to scheduling conflicts. The film, based on the iconic character from Dynamite Entertainment’s comic books, is currently in production at Bulgaria's Nu Boyana Studio. With a plot still under wraps, the film features Matilda Lutz in the lead, alongside a supporting cast that includes Wallis Day and Michael Bisping. M.J. Bassett directs, working from a script by Joey Soloway and Tasha Huo, with a strong production team behind it.

The change in casting comes at a crucial time as Red Sonja aims to revive interest in comic book adaptations. Rhona Mitra’s experience in action roles may appeal to fans of the genre, especially with her recent work in thrillers. The exit of Oliver Trevena also highlights the challenges productions face in scheduling, which can lead to instability in pre-production phases. This film has the potential to build a new fan base if the adaptation can strike the right tone, balancing action with character development.
