July 15, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Red Sonja revelers rejoice, this year's San Diego Comic-Con features a panel packed with major updates on the upcoming blockbuster film and more!
This panel will take place on Thursday July 24, at 5:30 PT in Ballroom 20 of the San Diego Convention Center.
The cast and key figures behind the film will be on panel to share with fans behind the scenes details, tease major moments, and discuss bringing this legendary comic book icon to the silver screen.
Sonja herself Matilda Lutz will be in attendance, alongside Wallis Day who plays the role of Annisia, Robert Sheehan playing Dragan, and Martyn Ford who plays General Karlak. Film producer Mark Canton also joins the party (300, Immortals). In addition, Dynamite CEO, Publisher, and Executive Producer Nick Barrucci will attend. Red Sonja president, executive editor, and film producer Luke Lieberman will be leading this celebration of the character's five decades of fantastic fables, and latest, greatest adventure in film courtesy of Millennium Media, Samuel Goldwyn Films, director MJ Bassett, writer Tasha Huo, and everyone who worked on it in front of and behind the camera!
The prop sword used in the poster will be given away at the panel to one lucky fan, but there will be something free for every fan who attends!
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!
