Conan the Barbarian Archives

The highly anticipated Khaos Reigns DLC for Mortal Kombat 1 may lack the iconic voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan the Barbarian. While fans eagerly await the new content, game director Ed Boon has expressed uncertainty about securing Schwarzenegger for the role. Schwarzenegger's Cinematic Legacy Arnold Schwarzenegger's career skyrocketed with his portrayal of Conan in the 1982 film "Conan the Barbarian" and its 1984 sequel "Conan the Destroyer." These roles, alongside his performance in "The Terminator" (1984), established him as a major action star. At 77, Schwarzenegger continues to work on various projects, including a potential return as Conan in "The Legend of Conan." Boon's Uncertainty and Hope In a recent interview with Comic Book, Ed Boon discussed the potential inclusion of Schwarzenegger as Conan in the Mortal Kombat 1 DLC. When asked if Schwarzenegger would lend his voice to the character, Boon responded, "I don't know yet." He explained that the process involves several factors, including the actor’s availability and willingness to record multiple lines. Despite these uncertainties, Boon remains hopeful, stating he is keeping his "fingers crossed" for Schwarzenegger's involvement. Additional Characters in Khaos Reigns DLC The Khaos Reigns DLC will feature a mix of returning characters and guest stars. Alongside Conan, players can expect to see Noob Saibot, Sektor, and Cyrax, who are favorites from previous games. The DLC will also introduce guest characters such as Ghost Face from the "Scream" franchise and the T-1000 from the "Terminator" series. Robert Patrick, Schwarzenegger’s co-star from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," has been confirmed to reprise his role as the T-1000. Previous Instances and Potential Replacements This isn't the first time a character associated with Schwarzenegger has been voiced by another actor in the Mortal Kombat series. In Mortal Kombat 11, the Terminator was voiced by Chris Cox, known for his work in "Batman: Arkham Origins" and "Jak 3," instead of Schwarzenegger. Currently, IMDb lists Cox as the voice of Conan in Mortal Kombat 1, indicating he might once again step in for Schwarzenegger. Conclusion The possibility that Arnold Schwarzenegger may not voice Conan in Mortal Kombat 1’s Khaos Reigns DLC has left fans in suspense. While Ed Boon remains hopeful about securing the actor, the gaming community prepares for the potential of an alternate voice actor stepping in. The addition of iconic characters like Conan, Ghost Face, and the T-1000 promises an exciting expansion to the Mortal Kombat universe. As the release date approaches, players eagerly await more updates on this highly anticipated DLC. Also Read:
