Mickey Rourke has dropped out of an upcoming remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1982 action classic Conan The Barbarian.
The Oscar-nominated Wrestler actor had signed up to play Conan’s father alongside former Baywatch star Jason Momoa, who was cast in the title role earlier this year. However, Rourke has since dropped out of the production, and will be replaced by Hellboy star Ron Perlman, according to Moviehole.net.
No reason has been given for his departure. Conan The Barbarian is still slated for release next year.
