Djimon Hounsou To Play Thulsa Doom

According to Variety Djimon Hounsou has partnered with Dynamite Entertainment to star in and produce a bigscreen feature about immortal sorcerer Thulsa Doom, a central figure in the Conan the Barbarian and Kull comic books.

Thulsa Doom was portrayed by James Earl Jones in Conan the Barbarian back in 1982 and the planned film will showcase the origins of the flawed hero and show how his road to hell was paved with good intentions.

There’s no word yet on a director, screenplay, or attached studio, so it’s very early days yet.
