Red Sonja Cosplay Retrospective Gallery
Last week Millennium Films made the announcement that the new Red Sonja movie it has been working on for many years has moved far forward with the casting of Hannah John-Kim in the title role. John-Kim is best known as the tragic villain Ghost in Ant-Man and the Wasp, or as the tough bounty hunter Dutch in the series Killjoys.
More good news about this new movie is that Dynamite Entertainment, the publisher of Red Sonja comics since 2005, is a co-producer, and the film will be based on stories from the Dynamite version of the character — which was written for years (2013 to 2017) by Gail Simone. Simone’s time on the comic explored Red Sonja’s early life, and it would make sense that the movie would incorporate those elements, if not be based completely on them.
One thing that has not been made clear yet is if the costume for the movie will be Red Sonja’s traditional scale armor bikini. Since that has been the character’s default costume from when she was created in 1973 at Marvel Comics, almost all of the photos in the gallery are of cosplayers in various versions of that armor bikini. The one exception is BelleChere, who chose to wear pants when she cosplayed Red Sonja at the 2014 Free Comic Book Day event at Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, NH — at which Gail Simone was the featured guest. You can see them both in one of the photos from that day.
Cosplayers in this gallery include BelleChere, Luv SydneyMarie, italianpeachcosplayfit, Onyxeia, King Tide Cosplay, Nicole Marie Jean, amazingdarkstone, and many more.
We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.
