The now grown-up prince sets out to fulfil the mantra he has been repeating to himself since that fateful day: “I will avenge you father, I will save you mother, I will kill you Fjölnir!”

Set at the turn of the tenth century in Iceland, the film is based on the same ancient Norse legend that also inspired William Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’.

Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe appear in supporting roles.
