Rose McGowan joins Conan – Not Red Sonja

Rose McGowan has signed on to the new Conan reboot. While the knee jerk reaction is that she would be playing Red Sonja since the Conan spinoff character’s film that she was slated to star in was stalled to oblivion. But that is not the case. She will be playing a halfbreed witch baddie in this.

So is McGowan setting herself up for a SONJA spinoff with a role in this film? Not quite. She’ll play a villainess in the film described as being a “half-human/half-witch.” Whether she’ll be in cahoots with lead villain Khalar Singh (played by AVATAR baddie Stephen Lang) remains to be seen.

I don’t know what “half-human/half-witch” is supposed to mean. I thought that a witch was more of a profession than a race.

Its like saying Half-human/half-architect.

Maybe it works differently in the world of Conan.

I was always against McGowan playing Red Sonja anyways, so I am happy to hear that her involvement here is not to set up the Red Sonja spinoff character. Rose would look incredible in a chainmail bikini, but I was always wary of how believable a warrior woman who weights as much as her sword was supposed to work.
