Hannah John-Kamen joins Red Sonja reboot

Hannah John-Kamen, best known for her portrayal of Ghost in Ant-Man and the Wasp, is set to star in the reboot of the 1985 film Red Sonja.

The reboot, which has been planned since 2008, is expected to enter production soon. Joey Soloway, the creator of Transparent, is reportedly in talks to helm the project, which will be produced by Millennium Films. According to Variety, Soloway has penned the script of the reboot, along with Tasha Huo of the upcoming Tomb Raider series.

Created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith for Marvel's Conan the Barbarian comics in the early 1970s, Red Sonja's popularity prompted the publisher to launch a spinoff series dedicated to the character.

The original film, which was directed by Richard Fleischer, starred Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
