The hotly anticipated film releases shortly following the convention and panel, in theaters August 15, followed by digital release on August 29. The thrilling official trailer debuted July 10 ahead of the convention, and fans can watch it here.
“Red Sonja has been one of the biggest crown jewels of the Dynamite pantheon of comics and collectibles for over 20 years,” said Nick Barrucci, Dynamite Entertainment CEO and Publisher. “Working with Luke Lieberman has been a blast, and now connecting with all the brilliant minds around this film has been a joy. We can’t wait for fans to see the movie, and check out some of the incredible tales in her source material too, including major projects we’re cooking up through the rest of this year and beyond!”
Among Dynamite’s upcoming Red Sonja comic titles is the anticipated Sonja Reborn written by industry legend Christopher Priest (Black Panther, Superman Lost, Justice League). The series casts a young woman pulled from our real, modern world and metaphysically puts her in the boots of the She-Devil With a Sword, in a journey to try and survive the harsh realities of the Hyborean Age. The first issue is set to release at the end of August, synced to the release of the film. Fans are able and encouraged to preorder and subscribe to the series with their Local Comic Shop.
Any fans attending San Diego Comic-Con are invited to come to this exciting panel, and those following along from home can stay tuned for further updates from the show!\
