A Beninois actor Djimon Hounsou signs on with Dynamite Entertainment to star in and produce the “Conan The Barbarian” remake. Djimon is set to play the villain Thulsa Doom who is an immortal sorcerer. The character was previously played by James Earl Jones in the 1982 original version of the film.

No actor has been signed yet for Conan the leading character himself, but rumours have been going strong for years that WWE superstar Triple H may land that role.

What do you think? You think Triple H would make a good Conan? He’s got Conan’s look definitely but acting wise, I think he should keep that in the wrestling ring.
