The film was put on hold in February after The Atlantic published a story in which multiple accusers came forward and claimed Bryan raped them while underage.

Bryan‘s lawyer told the publication that he “categorically denies ever having sex with, or a preference for, underage men.”

Red Sonja is an adaptation of the comic book, following a vengeful warrior known as a “She-Devil with a sword.”
