Robert Eggers, the director behind “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse” has released the first trailer for his latest movie, “The Northman,” starring Alexander Skarsgard, Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Dafoe, Ethan Hawke and Björk.
The film takes place in Iceland during the 10th century and follows a viking prince named Amleth, played by Skarsgard, who goes on a quest for vengeance after his father, King Horvendill (Hawke), is murdered. A young Amleth witnesses his father shot by arrows and executed by an intruder named Fjölnir (Claes Bang) and his viking army. Amleth takes an oath to avenge his father, save his mother Queen Gudrun, played by Kidman, and kill Fjölnir, which he recites to himself as he gets older and gathers his own army for revenge.
A very formidable and buff Skarsgard is joined by Taylor-Joy, who says she can break men’s minds. The dark, action-packed trailer shows shots...
