Immaculate beard and hair, golden suit, imposing gaze and lightning bolts at his fingertips, Arnold Schwarzenegger tries his hand at being Zeus, king of the gods.
The ex-Governor of California shared a poster, along with the caption
“Coming February 2022”
.
Without further information.
The mystery remains intact.
Speculation abounds, but two hypotheses seem plausible.
At first glance, the visual looks like a Greek mythology-themed movie poster.
A theory that makes sense.
Before his interpretation of the T-800 for the Terminator
franchise
, Schwarzenegger played in 1970, for his first film role, the son of Zeus in
director Arthur Allan Seidelman 's
Hercules in New York .
However, the track is cooling, since the actor has other productions in store, as indicated by IMDb, the online film database.
A sequel to
Twins
, the cult comedy starring Danny de Vito, is in the works.
Arnold Schwarzenegger also uses the features of the barbarian Conan in
The Legend of Conan
, thirty years after the first part,
Conan The Destroyer.
But nothing on the shelves that comes anywhere near a film project on Mount Olympus.

The hypothesis of an advertising spot cannot be ruled out either. On February 13, the Super Bowl, the final of the American football championship, will take place. The event, marked in particular by its half-time concert, and followed by millions of viewers around the world - more than 96 million in 2021 - is a golden opportunity for brands to increase their visibility by broadcasting original advertisements. If the Super Bowl date coincides with his announcement, the actor could appear on the big screen within two weeks. For which product? Schwarzenegger gladly rents his image to promote video games. The latest spots to date, this winter, featured him in the cockpit of a tank for a fighting game. Here again, nothing in the diaries suggests the release ofa game about the Greek gods. Unless…
Among the most anticipated licenses of the year is the sequel to the hit game
God of War
.
The saga tells how the warrior Kratos wanders from pantheon to pantheon in search of his destiny.
After wreaking havoc on the Greek gods, the hero recently visited their Nordic cousins.
The announced release of
God of War Ragnarök
is to feature it again in the fall of Asgard.
An announced disaster that may have reached Zeus-Schwarzie's ears...
