The 2025 movie Red Sonja brings back the legendary warrior in a story full of action, betrayal, and a surprising turn toward compassion. Starring Matilda Lutz as Red Sonja, the film follows her fight against the cruel Emperor Draygan (Robert Sheehan) and her unexpected emotional journey. The ending leaves fans with a mix of epic battles and deep character moments.
The Final Battle Against Emperor Draygan
The movie’s climax centers on a huge battle between Sonja’s allies, the Dumnati warriors, and Draygan’s army. At first, the fight seems hopeless, but the arrival of Osin and his troops changes everything. The battle is intense, with bloodshed and loyalty on full display.
Draygan, desperate as his power crumbles, turns to an ancient book he believes holds ultimate power. Instead, he finds teachings about restoration, not destruction. This moment reveals the tragic irony of his rule—he could have built a better world but chose violence instead.
Anisia’s Betrayal and Tragic End
One of the most emotional moments comes when Anisia (Wallis Day), Draygan’s loyal warrior, learns a terrible truth. He confesses that the voices haunting her were lies he created through potions. Feeling betrayed, she turns on him, striking him down. But Draygan, in his final act of cruelty, fatally wounds her. Their deaths show how lies and abuse destroy both the master and the servant.
Sonja’s Shocking Discovery and Act of Mercy
When Sonja arrives, she finds Draygan broken and powerless. She realizes he was once a boy she abandoned long ago. Instead of killing him, she reminds him that he chose destruction over wisdom. In his last moments, he asks her to hold him, and she does.
To honor who he once was—not the tyrant he became—Sonja gives him a solemn funeral with the Hercanians. This act of mercy shows her growth from a vengeful warrior to someone who understands compassion.
A New Beginning for Red Sonja
The movie ends with Sonja riding away alone, her revenge no longer driving her. When Osin invites her on a new adventure, she smiles but keeps moving forward. The final scene suggests this isn’t the end—it’s the start of a new chapter for her as a warrior and a legend.
Red Sonja (2025) is now in theaters, bringing a fresh take on the classic character. Fans of action and deep storytelling will find a lot to love in this film.
