The She-Devil With a Sword has finally returned. Red Sonja, the long-awaited reboot of the classic fantasy comic book character, is coming back to the big screen this summer. In the new trailer for the film, Matilda Lutz plays the flame-haired barbarian warrior as she seeks vengeance, battles monsters, and confronts death in a gladiatorial arena. M.J. Bassett (Rogue) directs the film, which was previously trapped in development hell for decades. The film will premiere in theaters on August 15, 2025.
In the trailer, Sonja (Lutz, Magpie) swears revenge on the raiders who killed her people, sending her on a quest that eventually lands her in the clutches of the villainous warlord Draygan The Magnificent (Robert Sheehan, The Umbrella Academy) and pitted against his deadly. eyebrow-less bride, Dark Annisia (Wallis Day, Batwoman). In a nod to the character’s fantasy origins, she battles not only Draygan’s warriors, but also a massive horned monster. And yes, she does find herself in her comics incarnation’s infamous “chainmail bikini,” which is lampshaded in the trailer’s closing moments; Sonja is concerned that it provides her little protection, and the gladiatorial armorer who hands it to her agrees, but contends that “the crowd will love it.”
Red Sonja will be released in theaters on August 15, 2025. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
