Lang to be Singh

For those of you who more than likely have no idea what were talking about, Khalar Singh is the villain on the upcoming Conan remake, which Avatar actor Stephen Lang just confirmed he was going to play next. Here’s a little more on the confirmation he made verbally about the role to MTV.:

“I’ve accepted the role of Khalar Singh,” Lang told MTV News when asked about the rumor.

“I have no idea how I’m going to do it,” Lang laughed. “First I’m going to find out how I’m going to sound. I’m going to get back on a Mongolian pony and ride like the wind. I’m going to flash my scimitar. I’m going to cut the nuts off Conan and his father.”

If that does not sound absolutely bad ass then I don’t know what does to you. The Conan remake is being directed by Marcus Nispel and stars Jason Momoa as the barbarian along with the cast that includes Rachel Nichols and supposedly Mickey Rourke playing the role of Conan’s father. If your memory needs to be refreshed as to who Khalar is, here’s the summary for you.:

Khalar Singh is in his 40s to 50s, Asian or Middle Eastern, Central Asian, Mongol, Turkish, or Persian, open to all ethnicities; commanding 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. While riding into a Cimmerian village to recruit his old comrade, Corin, his large collection of mercenaries slaughters them to the last soul when Corin refuses to join them. The village’s only survivor was young Conan. When Khalar’s search has finally narrowed to the likely discovery of the queen at a monastery of female monks, he also learns Conan is older and hungry for revenge…
