On the heels of the recent teaser trailer, IGN has shared a new behind-the-scenes featurette for the upcoming Red Sonja reboot, and it highlights some action-packed new footage of the She-Devil with a Sword laying waste to her enemies.

In addition, the movie's official Instagram page has posted some new stills and a BTS photo of star Matilda Lutz wearing Sonja's iconic (not to mention infamous) chain-mail bikini.

The trailer actually shows the bikini right at the end - but not with Lutz in it! We assume Sonja will wear the two-piece armor for a few brief scenes as she competes as a gladiator at the behest of the villainous Draygan before returning to her (slightly) less revealing and more practical costume.

The official synopsis reads: "Captured. Chained. Forced to fight for survival. Red Sonja must battle her way through the blood-soaked pits of a tyrant’s empire and rally an army of outcasts to reclaim her freedom and take down Draygan and his ruthless bride, Dark Annisia."

The movie has been given an R rating for "Strong, Bloody Violence."

After over a decade spent attempting to get the project moving with multiple writers and directors attached at various different stages, Millennium finally managed to put its Red Sonja reboot into production in 2022, with Solomon Kane director M.J. Bassett at the helm and Lutz taking over from Ant-Man and the Wasp and Thunderbolts* actress Hannah John Kamen as the fearsome warrior of the title.

Avi Lerner, Mark Canton, Courtney Solomon, Luke Lieberman, Les Weldon, Christa Campbell, Lati Grobman, Joe Gatta, M.J. Bassett, Jeffrey Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger and Yariv Lerner will serve as producers. Executive producers are Trevor Short, Darina Pavlova, Boaz Davidson, Tanner Mobley, Nick Barrucci, Dorothy Canton, Scott Karol, and Heidi Jo Markel.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Red Sonja to audiences across the nation. The fanbase for the legendary character is big and passionate and we’re confident that this film will deliver for them,” said SGF president Peter Goldwyn.

“I look forward to working with Samuel Goldwyn on the release of Red Sonja. This film has been a long road and we couldn’t be more excited about this screen version of the legendary character who is the first and foremost an empowered heroine. The fans are lined up and surely will be thrilled.” said Canton.

“The fans are ready, the movie is ready, and I can’t wait to share Red Sonja’s story with the world. Those who know her will see the heart and fire they love, and newcomers will discover the true She-Devil with a Sword,” added Lieberman.

We’re beyond thrilled to announce the release of Red Sonja alongside our partners at Samuel Goldwyn Films. It’s been an incredible journey bringing this iconic character to life, and director M.J. Bassett and star Matilda Lutz have crafted an unforgettable filmic adaptation of her story. We can’t wait for audiences to experience the power and excitement of Red Sonja on the big screen!” said Yunger.

Red Sonja also features Michael Bisping as Hawk, Martyn Ford as General Karlak and Eliza Matengu as Amarak.

I will never understand why that's the female figure Hollywood has settled on as being able to "Kick Ass" Like in why in the world is a 5'2, 115 LB Woman with zero muscle mass the go to female hero. Gal, Zoe, all these actresses with zero weight and muscle. Im sorry but why cant we get actresses that should be 145 - 160lb, 5'8, muscle mommy with thighs the size of tree trunks to be our super hero barbarian types.

@EpicMan - Back in the day, if you wanted a meathead you hired a wrestler but you'd loose the acting chops, with the roids we got these days its more accepted for actor's to bum up their physique for a couple months so filmmakers get the muscle without losing the acting. We aren't there yet for actresses so they get a pass, if you want a muscle mommy you hire the wrestler.

@EpicMan - Exaclty!

And it's not like we don't have those "type" of females. Unfortunately, they are NOT "Hollywood type".

Just look at THIS... Rhea Ripley! You can BELIEVE she WILL kick some major butt of any tough looking man.

Look at Brooke Ence... Thats the body type we should be demanding.... How do I get the alphabet people on board with with this demand.

@EpicMan - Ence? Dunno, bro. She's is all juiced up -- masculine looking. I prefer a natty. But not natty like Lutz, who is on a low-fat, vegan-type diet -- she has no muscle mass whatsoever.

Seeing that BTS , it atleast shows that they went as all out as they could even with their more limited budget I’m assuming.

Honestly , the movie looks alright to me but we’ll see.

Also not familiar with Matilda Lutz as an actress but she’s certainly gorgeous!!.

I will watch when it hits a streaming service, not worth seeing at the cinema unless it gets stellar reviews.

I thought Red Sonja was a Marvel property and should be produced by Marvel studios or am I crazy?

@incredibleTalk - I believe at one point, Marvel held the comics licensing. But now Dynamite does. Would have been... interesting(?) to see a Disney Red Sonja movie though. THese comment sections would have lost their minds.

@incredibleTalk - Based on a short story by Robert E Howard and only licensed to Marvel with the Hyborian Age/Conan franchise.

They don't currently have the license (although they did recently).

I do like to think of Conan The Barbarian (1982), Conan the Destroyer and Red Soja (1985) as being Marvel movies though. And even this new movie is basically the version of the character that Marvel originated.

Is anyone really going to the theater to see this? Lutz looks emaciated -- maybe weighs 120 pounds (125 tops), but she's supposed to be slaying dragons and evil sorcerers? How Hollywood has fallen to the neo-feminists. At least cast a woman who has height and build, ffs. Say what one wants to about the quality of the 1985 film, but Brigitte Neilsen at 6'1'' tall was at least physically a believable Red Sonja.

While I enjoy the original movie for its fun cheesiness I’m definitely down for violent bloody R rated version. I’ll have to be careful watching it at the theater with her wearing a bikini like that…

Hit the gym, woman! I want to see beefed-up warrior women. It just adds some believability and force. I hope Gunn has a more well-built Wonder Woman.
