Alexander Skarsgård Seeks Revenge as a Viking Prince in The Northman's Action-Packed Trailer

There's a new viking movie releasing in 2022, and it's full of action and family rivalry. The Northman follows the story of a young viking prince named Amleth (played by Alexander Skarsgård) on a mission to avenge the death of his father, King Aurvandil (Ethan Hawke), after he's murdered by his uncle, Fjolnir (Claes Bang). Skarsgård's character is also seeking justice for his mother, Queen Gudrun (Nicole Kidman), after she's kidnapped from their native land.

"I will avenge you, father. I will save you, mother. I will kill you, Fjolnir," Amleth says repeatedly in the trailer, which released on 20 Dec. The forthcoming film has recruited other stars like Anya Taylor-Joy, Björk, and Willem Dafoe to join the cast as well. From the looks of it, Skarsgård's character will face a difficult challenge when he's tasked with choosing between "kindness for your kin" and "hate for your enemies" in the movie. The Northman arrives in cinemas on 22 April, 2022. Watch the trailer for the film above.
