For those unfamiliar, Red Sonja is a fierce comic book heroine, famously played by Brigitte Nielsen in the 1985 film. The character was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith for Marvel Comics back in 1973, drawing inspiration from Robert E. Howard’s previously created Red Sonja of Rogatino. Currently, new Red Sonja comics are published by Dynamite Comics.
Red Sonja will hit theaters on August 15th, followed by its release on digital platforms on August 29th. And yes, it’s rated “R” for “Strong/bloody violence,” so expect some serious action”
