A couple of years ago director Zack Snyder announced that it was developing a Norse mythology anime series for Netflix titled Twilight of the Gods. Until now we had no idea what the story of this series would tell, but Snyder has revealed the first details and it’s a story of revenge. While speaking with Collider, Snyder shared:
“It’s basically this: There’s a king and his queen in a little Viking village, and they want to get married. During their wedding an event happens to them that causes Sigrid, who’s the bride-to-be, who’s the giants’ daughter , to embark on a crazy mission of revenge. He enlists a cast of characters – a seer, a dwarf – and they come together to form a gang that has this mission: to find a god and fight him. It’s a mission, it’s revenge Sigrid is a character beautiful, very Scandinavian, cold but passionate, who I really enjoyed working with because she’s really fantastic. Sylvia Hoeks voices her.”
Snyder also said there will be “a lot of sex […] because it’s fun” and that the first season will consist of eight episodes. The story of the anime looks great. I’m always up for a good revenge story!
Speaking of developing an animated series, Snyder didn’t realize how much of an undertaking it would be: “I just think it was one of those things where we didn’t understand, first of all, the rigor of what was going to be done.” I wanted to do eight animated episodes. If I had known, I don’t know if I would have done it.”
The full voice cast for Twilight of the Gods includes Sylvia Hoeks in the role of Sigrid, Stuart Martin as Leif, Pilou Asbæk in the role of Thor, Giovanni Nobile like Odin, Paterson Joseph like Loki, Rahul Kohli in the role of Egill, Jamie Clayton like the Seid-Kona, Kristopher Hivju like Andvari, Pietro Stormare like Ulfr, Jamie Chung like Hel, Lauren Cohan like Inge, and Corey Stoll like Hrafnkel.
