Hollywood hellraiser Mickey Rourke will no longer play Conan's father in the forthcoming Marcus Nispel remake of Conan, due to start filming in Bulgaria later in March.
Reportedly, his place will now be taken by Ron Perlman, best known for playing the part of Vincent in the television series Beauty and the Beast and the comic book character Hellboy in the two films of the same name.

In addition to Jason Momoa - long since cast as Conan - and Perlman, the cast of the film apparently includes Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang as villain Khalar Singh (from box office smash Avatar), Bob Sapp and Leo Howard.

Rourke was initially cited as the choice to play Conan's father but, in addition to other movie commitments, the veteran actor has reportedly broken his arm in an arm wrestling match.
