They’ve found young Conan. They’ve tracked down the man himself. And now, after rumours flew about his casting, they’ve locked in a man to play Corin, Conan’s father, and one of the people our hero sets out to avenge following a mass slaughter. And daddy is? Mickey Rourke.

Apparently, the path to Rourke’s casting was not that smooth – the two sides couldn’t agree on terms for a deal in January and the actor walked away, only to come back this month to try and again.
