Northman Trailer: Alexander Skarsgård Fights On Top Of Erupting Volcano
A vengeful Alexander Skarsgård sword fights atop an erupting volcano in the latest trailer for The Northman. Scandinavian folklore serves as the inspiration for Robert Eggers’ follow-up to his acclaimed 2019 drama The Lighthouse. The film stars Skarsgård as a young prince on a life-long quest for revenge after the murder of his father and the capture of his mother.
The story told in The Northman should indeed strike a familiar chord as it’s based on the same folk tale that inspired Shakespeare’s immortal Hamlet. But Eggers’ take on this particular legend in fact promises to be less Shakespeare and more Conan the Barbarian. In addition to Skarsgård, the film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Claes Bang and Björk.
