No, don’t worry, the villain of Avatar is getting his own late night program. (Is that too soon?)
But Latino Review has reported that Stephen Lang has been offered the role of Khalar Singh, the villain of the upcoming Conan film.
Here’s part of the casting call for the character:
[C]ommanding in size and manner, a warlord and formidable warrior, brilliant, cruel, weathered and tanned by the many campaigns he has waged and won. He is driven in his quest to find the Queen of Acheron and has been building an empire to do so. His goal is to find the Queen whose blood will bring life to the demonic minions of Acheron while making himself king of this hellish power. With this power, Khalar will protect his legacy against the onslaught of master sorcerer, Thoth-Amon so that his weak son, Fariq may rule after his death.
Lang was pretty hard-core over in Avatar, especially during the final fight sequence. Do you think he can hold his own against that most powerful of barbarians? And am I the only one who thinks he looks just like Cable from the X-Men? Sound off!

That man is so HOT that chocolate will melt easily- and I wish I could be the one to lick it off!

He would be perfect for playing Cable, not just the looks, but he could play the he… out of the character.

By the 9 Hells Ping, small “scarred old man” fetish there
Yeah I reckon he will pull off quite a convincing Khalar and no he stands no chance against Conan…NOBODY DOES(Conan craps Chuck Norris without flinching)!

You know, I thought he looked familiar… guess Marvel Studios knows who to call if they need someone to play Cable!

“the villain of Avatar is getting his own late night program. (Is that too soon?)”
That joke would probably work better if it said “isn’t getting”. It’s not so much “too soon” as “written wrong”.

He would really be a perfect fit as cable. Wasn’t there talks of this already last year? Wonder if he would get the role.

Conan is going to be shown some time August. I’m sure Khalar will kick ass!
June 24th, 2011 at 9:48 am
Yeah I’m pretty sure he will really be great playing khalar. Is there a preview of Conan already?

@Simone: Yeah, the trailers are out there and it looks wicked sweet! Cannot wait til the 19th!

Stephen Lang seems really cool, and possesses a degree of humility, which is always refreshing in an actor (especially one having appeared in one of the biggest movies ever made).

Stephen Lang has shaped a formidable career on and off the various stages of the United States and abroad. A stage actor of great recognition and one hell of a body too
i can’t wait to see him in the new Conan movie.

Do we really need another Conan movie…eh gads!

I can’t believe they have the gall to have made that new Conan film! Especially in 3D as well. I reckon Arnie is gutted now, he probably wanted a second bite at the cherry rather than being a pretend politician!
