    "or get John Cena.... he look almost like Arnold... what you think..."

    This is a Conan movie, not an Arnold movie.

    no way neither has the look or size needed for Conan. Roland Kickinger would work, not sure if he can act though,

    Hmm. I think that Jason Momoa is a better fit for the role looks-wise at least. But Kellan Lutz would likely get a lot of those squealing Twilight fangirls in. Especially since, being Conan, he's likely to be running around shirtless as much as those darned werewolves.

    I know Conan existed before the movie came about with Arnold Schwarzenegger... but it still won't be the same to me. :^/

    Uhm I'd go with Momoaa over Lutz but is this really it? I mean there's got to be others considerations they are willing to release.
