“Red Sonja” Is Getting A UK 2025 Release

Signature Entertainment has picked up UK and Irish rights to Millennium Media’s film reboot of the “Red Sonja” action fantasy property.

A ‘late 2025’ release is planned for the M.J. Bassett-directed film in that territory, the first release window set for the film anywhere.

The story follows barbarian huntress Red Sonja, who must unite a group of unlikely warriors to face off against the evil tyrant Emperor Draygan and his deadly bride, Dark Annisia.

Matilda Lutz (“Revenge”) stars as the title character in a film that also includes Wallis Day, Robert Sheehan as Draygan, Michael Bisping as Hawk, Martyn Ford as General Karlak and Eliza Matengu as Amarak. Luca Pasqualino, Rhona Mitra and Phillip Winchester co-star in the film which was shot in late 2022 in Bulgaria and Greece.

Millennium Media’s J.J. Nugent said in a statement:

“We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Signature Entertainment to bring Red Sonja to audiences in the UK. This franchise has a passionate global fanbase, and we can’t wait to deliver a film that honors its legacy while introducing the iconic characters to a new generation.”

The project had been in development since 2015 with the likes of Bryan Singer and Joey Soloway attached at different points. Mark Canton, Courtney Solomon, Luke Lieberman, Les Weldon, Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger, Yariv Lernerl; and Joe Gatta produce.

The character that was created by Robert E. Howard, writer Roy Thomas, and artist Barry Windsor Smith for Marvel Comics in 1973.
