Here’s the official description:

From visionary director Robert Eggers comes THE NORTHMAN, an action-filled epic that follows a young Viking prince on his quest to avenge his father’s murder. With an all-star cast that includes Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe.

If you’ve watched Eggers’ previous movies, you’ll know that he’s brought back leads from The Witch (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Lighthouse (Willem Dafoe). The cast list also includes other Witch supporting cast Ralph Ineson and Kate Dickie, plus Game of Thrones’ Mountain actor Thor Bjornson.

The film also has some interesting casting with Björk who is acting out a part for the first time in a long while.

With A24 having a very specific brand of film, Eggers’ work is a shining example of what kind of content the studio pumps out. With Focus Features distributing this movie though, I have a feeling The Northman is going to be something more commercially friendly. Don’t get me wrong, the trailer still feels a lot like an Eggers film, but there’s just something in the preview that makes me feel like this one is not going to alienate the general audience.

It’s just a feeling.

Catch The Northman when it comes out April 22, 2022.

Talking to The Los Angeles Times, Taylor-Joy confirms that she’ll be reteaming with Eggers for a remake of Nosferatu, the silent horror movie from the 1920s which was based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It’s still unclear which role Taylor-Joy would play, but seeing her roles in Witch and Split, she could very well be the film’s protagonist who is being terrorized by a vampire. But seeing that Eggers is one of the more unique voices in horror now, we could be looking at something else entirely.

With films like Twilight and What We Do in the Shadows offering a variety of genres when it comes to vampires, I’m very interested to see what a director like Eggers could do with a horror classic.

Taylor-Joy has been landing so many great roles since her rise, and it looks like she has no intention of slowing down. She says:

“All my friends are always like, ‘What are you doing?!? Take … a … break,’… But the roles are too good. I wouldn’t be able to deal with it if I didn’t say yes. I wouldn’t cope. I’d rather just go for it and do my best.”

Catch Taylor-Joy in Edgar Wright’s next movie, Last Night in Soho which comes out on Oct. 29.
