Whatever this is for, the poster alone will have anyArnold Schwarzeneggerfan on board. On Twitter, Schwarzenegger posted an image of what looks like a movie poster forZeusfeaturing Schwarzenegger in the role. The actor is being very vague by only saying thatZeusis coming in February, leaving it up to the fans to wonder exactly what this means in the meantime. You can see the Twitter post below.
No studio or streamer names are included on the poster, and it looks pretty odd that a full-length feature film or series would be developed under the radar with Schwarzenegger starring as Zeus. Some are speculating that this will actually be for a TV spot to air during the Super Bowl, which is going down on Feb. 13. If that’s the case, then what exactly would this be promoting? All will be revealed in February, and maybe Schwarzenegger is getting exactly what he wants by getting everyone talking in the meantime.
Some fans may remember how Schwarzenegger played Hercules, son of Zeus, in the 1970 filmHercules in New York. Ernest Graves played Zeus in that movie. Another incarnation of Zeus will soon be seen on the big screen as Russell Crowe plays the Greek god in the upcoming Marvel sequelThor: Love and Thunder.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Fans Are Hoping King Conan Is Next
Seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger as Zeus is only reminding some of the actor’s fans of how much they want to see theKing Conanmovie finally happen. Early in his career, Schwarzenegger played another iconic warrior as the lead star ofConan the Barbarianin 1982. He followed that up withConan the Destroyerin 1986. For many years, fans have wanted to see a third installment inKing Conan, and many are reiterating those thoughts in response to theZeusposter.
“I’m excited for you, you’ll make a fantastic Zeus!!! But I also want to seeKing Conan,” writes one fan.
Another fan says, “Eyyy Schwarzenegger It’s the perfect moment to continue the story ofConan the Barbarian, you remember: Akiro ends the story: “…in time, he will become a King by his own hand… but that’s another story.”
“It’s a movie that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Let’s do it,“Schwarzenegger said ofKing Conanin 2019.
Time will tell ifKing Conanever happens, but because the originalConanmovies helped make Schwarzenegger such a big star, it would be fun to see him return to the role in a legacy sequel as a way of bookending his career. The continued fan demand for the sequel can only help its chance of getting made. As forZeus, more will be revealed about this mystery project in February.
